Hi,

I am working with publicly available 3D echocardiographic datasets stored as .mhd + .raw files, along with corresponding .vtk mesh files for each time frame. I would like to convert these into a single 4D DICOM (cine loop of 3D volumes).

My ultimate goal is to process these datasets in Philips’ ultrasound workspace, which only accepts DICOM/DICOMDIR formats. From what I understand, there are two main steps involved:

1. Combining all time steps into a single patient/study dataset.

2. Exporting the result as a single 4D DICOM.

Can this workflow be achieved in 3D Slicer? If so, I would greatly appreciate any guidance on how to proceed.

The public datasets can be accessed here: Human Heart Project Dataset

Any advice is welcome!

Thank you,
Satya
