Importing Multiple Single-Frame DICOM Files as a DICOM Series

You may group together single-frame 2D DICOM files and upload them to Hub as a single DICOM series.

DICOM Series assets are opened in the Medical Labeling Editor, rather than the DICOM labeling editor.

This functionality is only available for single-frame 2D DICOM files.

You may upload such multi-DICOM assets using the Cloud Import and the File Explorer methods outlined below.

Importing DICOM Series Assets using the Cloud Upload Method

Prepare a JSON like the following, where each URL points to a DICOM you'd like to include in the asset. The order of the URLs will determine the order in which images will be presented to the annotator in the series.

The following JSON will import two DICOM series:

[
  {
    "externalId": "my-asset-external-id-1",
    "dataset": [
      "https://url.com/65c18c8b-4513-4a0a-b876-1aeb2e0908ec.dcm",
      "https://url.com/b0b70590-e4cc-42ef-8537-3ee3f7917fed.dcm",
      "https://url.com/38e11364-1ce0-417a-9e38-436468c555ce.dcm",
      "https://url.com/eff59355-03bd-447f-aa47-46028f90c2e6.dcm"
    ]
  },
  {
    "externalId": "my-asset-external-id-2",
    "dataset": [
      "https://url.com/65c18c8b-4513-4a0a-b876-123456789012.dcm",
      "https://url.com/b0b70590-e4cc-42ef-8537-234456566787.dcm",
      "https://url.com/38e11364-1ce0-417a-9e38-876345383488.dcm",
      "https://url.com/eff59355-03bd-447f-aa47-319485019239.dcm"
    ]
  }
]

From your project dashboard, go to the Assets tab and click on Add Data. Then, enter the Cloud Storage section and drag and drop your JSON on the file upload field. Enable the "DICOM series upload" checkbox on the left.

Then, press on Upload. Your DICOM series will be uploaded.

If your DICOM files are in a private bucket, ensure you select the appropriate storage integration from the list on the left.

Using the File Explorer Method

From the File Explorer, select the single DICOM files you'd like to group into a series, or select the folder containing the DICOM files. Then, enable the checkbox named "DICOM series upload". Click on Upload.
