dicom files are not in order

Post by kemalemre »

Hi,
My files are in order (dicom01_001.dcm, dicom01_002.dcm, dicom01_003.dcm... ,dicom01_192.dcm) in the patient's folder. But MicroDicom is not opening them in order. How can I fix this? I couldn't understand what I did wrong.

Hello,
MicroDicom orders images according to different criteria, rather than by file name. For instance, it looks at the Instance Number to determine the order of images.

If possible, could you please send us some sample images, so we can investigate and ensure that everything is in order? You can contact us at support@microdicom.com.

Thank you.

I have the same issue.

Everytime the entire series in a folder is reloaded, the order of the images appear variable.
Instance Number is 1 for all my dicom files within the folder.
Files are all named in running order, but microdicom does not appear to sort them by name.

I've tried editing the Instance Number individually and it works. However it'll be very tedious for me to edit every file individually.
Able to assist?

You can download the latest beta: https://www.microdicom.com/beta.html
We have a fix to sort them by instance number, Slice location, file name.
