== Setup ==
 
* Install Slicer
 
* Start Slicer, install SlicerHeart extension from the Extensions Manager
 
* Install the pre-requisite Sequences module when asked
 
* Restart Slicer
 
 
== Patch/convert non-compliant Philips Cartesian 4D US DICOM files ==
 
* Go to Module: Cardiac / Philips 4D US DICOM patcher
 
* Select the directory where your Philips-exported files are located as ''Input DICOM directory''
 
* Select an empty directory as ''Output directory'', output of the conversion/fix operation will be stored there
 
* Check ''Export to DICOM files'' checkbox if you want to generate corrected DICOM files that can be loaded into standard-compliant DICOM viewers
 
* Check ''Anonymize DICOM files'' checkbox if you want to remove patient information from the output files
 
* Check ''Export to NRRD files'' checkbox if you want to store the output in non-DICOM file format
 
* Click Patch
 
 
== Load patched DICOM files ==
 
* Drag-and-drop the directory that contains fixed DICOM files on the Slicer main window
 
* Slicer will show a popup, keep the default ''Load directory into DICOM database'' option and click OK
 
* Select ''Copy'' if your data resides on a removable drive or temporary directory; select ''Add link'' if you don't want to make a copy of your files into the Slicer DICOM database (just a link will be added to existing files)
 
* Click on the patient name of the data that you just imported
 
* Click ''Load'' to load the data
 
 
== Load nrrd files ==
 
* Drag-and-drop the nrrd file on the Slicer main window
 
* In the displayed ''Add data'' dialog select ''Volume sequence'' in the ''Description'' column
 
* Click ''OK'' to load the data
 
 
== Review loaded 4D ultrasound images ==
 
* When a 4D volume sequence is loaded the sequence browser toolbar is displayed (if not, then right-click the toolbar area and click ''Sequence browser'')
 
* Select a sequence in the sequence browser toolbar, click play, pause, prev/next frame, etc. to view the sequence
