Displaying .dcm files with XTK's X.volume()

Question

According to the lesson 15 I pass .dcm file to the volume. I get no errors (e.g. no parsing errors I faced before) but nothing is displayed. What could be wrong with the .dcm files?

Here is a excerpt of the code I use:

function demo(file){  
  var _dicom = [file];
  var r = new X.renderer3D();
  r.init();

  var v = new X.volume();
  v.file = _dicom.map(function(v) {
    return file;    
  });

  r.add(v);

  r.render();

  r.onShowtime = function() {
    v.volumeRendering = true;
  };

};  

I pass the full file path here. Well, I'm not sure it's a correct wording, but I'd lile to know, what dicom settings or parameters could cause such a behaviour, no errors and no diplayed data. Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

Did you try to drag the .dcm file into http://slicedrop.com and see the same effect? DICOM support currently only exists for uncompressed DICOM files and we didn't get Ultrasound too work yet. So on uncompressed MR data or CT data in DICOM it should work.
