Opens a dialogue box to select a DICOM file or series of DICOM files, a zipped series of DICOM files, image or machine log file to load. This function can be accessed using the Open images(s) button open on the Main Tool Bar or by selecting Open from the File Menu. The number of images loaded is displayed in the Status Bar.

Currently LinaQA will attempt to open the following DICOM modalities as images:

RTIMAGE

Radiotherapy portal image, MV or kV

RTDOSE

Radiotherapy dose plane or 3D matrix

CT

Computed Tomography 2D or 3D image

NM

Nuclear Medicine (gamma camera) 2D or SPECT 3D image

PT

MR

Magnetic Resonance Image (MRI) image

OT

XA

Unsupported DICOM modalities will default to DICOM tag editing mode.

Note If you do not see the file you want make sure you have selected the correct file type.

Note If multiple DICOM images are selected for loading the images must have the same parameters, ie. modality, size, etc. Only a single multiframe image can be loaded at a time. Non-compliant images are discarded. The number of discarded images can be seen in the Status Bar.
