MEDx Frequently Asked Questions - DICOM

Q: I tried to open some DICOM data and got an error message saying that the path "is a directory". I have two inquiries on this issue. Firstly, this error message is confusing because I have seen it not strictly when I am opening a directory but also when I am opening a single file or a set of files. Secondly, I am not sure why the error message is complaining about a DICOM path being "a directory". After all, the User's Guide makes it clear I can always open a DICOM path that "is a directory".

Yes, you can certainly always open a path that is a directory when you are working with DICOM data; the wording in this error message is certainly confusing. This error message at this time is a generic message and may be generated by MEDx when opening DICOM as well as non-DICOM images; it carries the general meaning that MEDx is running into a problem when trying to open the data set.
