Convert images and DICOM slices into image sequences/series
In this guide, we'll walk through how images and DICOM files can be prepared and imported as a series, with each image/slice as a frame in a sequence.

Create an image sequence
To import a series of images as a sequence, compress them into a .zip file and change the compressed file's extension from .zip
to .mp4
. Once imported to V7, the images will appear as frames in a timeline in the order in which they were stored in before being compressed.
Create a DICOM Series
To import individual DICOM slices as a series, compress them into a .zip file and change compressed file's extension from .zip
to .dcm.
Once imported to V7, the slices will appear in a series. The sort order is determined by the following attributes of the source file in order of significance: SeriesNumber
, InstanceNumber
, SliceLocation
, ImagePositionPatient
, FileName
.
In case when you want to register slices as series from external storage, there's no need to create .zip
archive. Instead, pass all slices keys as a list keys
in payload sent to Register Uploading Items .
