Import DICOM File

Node Icon

This node allows you to import a single DICOM file or the entire series to which the file belongs. Depending on your workflow, you can choose to import the DICOM as an Image, a Contour List, or a Struct.

Single File: The node imports only the selected DICOM file based on the chosen output type.

Import Series: The node scans the folder containing the selected file to find all files in the same DICOM series. It then imports the entire series, creating either a 3D/4D image (for Image output type) or a list of structs (for Struct output type).

Output types determine how the data is processed:

Image imports the file (or series) as an image, provided the DICOM modality can be represented as such (e.g., CT, MRI).
Contour List imports the file as a list of contours, derived from a DICOM structure set.
Struct imports the raw DICOM data without interpreting it as a specific type. For a series, this results in a list of structs — one per DICOM file.

This node offers flexibility for handling diverse DICOM modalities, whether you're working with images, structures, or raw data.
