Step 2: Load DICOM image

Now that the DICOM images are indexed in the MITK DICOM database we can open the individual image series. In the DICOM Browser window, select the item QIN-HEADNECK-01-0024 in the patient list, and the only image series with modality PT (Positron Emission Tomography, or PET). To load an image double click on it or select it and press the View button.

The image will be loaded and appear in the Data Manager on the left side. A prompt might appear if there are multiple readers available. Just use the reader selected by default and hit OK. Once the image is loaded, you should automatically see it in the 2D render windows and the 3D render window. If not right click on the image in the Data Manager and select Global Reinit.
