I have another question. For the 3D dicom file, can I use the header file from the origianl dicom RT dose file which has only 1 header but many frames?

Hi Ming<br>
<br>
There is nothing wrong with what you did; however, in order to create<br>
a 3D dicom image you need the header information of the dicom series<br>
images that you do not have. This information could be constructed<br>
however in medical imaging it is dangerous to modify the DICOM headers<br>
because of the posibility of errors influencing treatment.<br>
<br>
If this is research only and not to be used clinically, then you can<br>
build the header information for the missing slices and solve your<br>
problem<br>
<br>
Hope this helps<br>
