Dicom

Use the File->Add Volume... menu to bring up the volume load dialog, navigate to the top folder with your specific data, click on parse directory in the upper right and select your series in the upper right.

See here for more information

DWI Dicom

As first step, use the DicomToNrrd module to convert your DWI data from DICOM to NRRD format. Load the nrrd format data into Slicer using the File->Add Volume dialog. See here for a list of supported DWI formats.

NIfTI, NRRD, Analyze and other Scalar Volume Data

Use the File->Add Volume... dialog to select the header file. If there is a corresponding image file it will be selected automatically.

png, jpeg, tiff Image Stacks

Use the File->Add Volume... to select one image from the sequence. Files with corresponding names will be selected automatically. For example, picking img001.png will form a volume using files img001.png, img002.png, img003.png, etc.

Note that image stacks contain no spacing information. Use the Info tab in the Volumes Module to manually enter appropriate spacings (default voxel size is 1 x 1 x 1 millimeter)

Note that color images can be viewed in slicer, but are not compatible with many of the analysis tools.

Raw Raster Data

We suggest creating a .nhdr header file that describes your data. See the nrrd format documentation for more information.
