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 .
