Re: [amide-users] trying to open a stack of DICOM files

[Andy L. <lo...@uc...>]

Hey Frank,

Yeah, opening these one by one is definitely not the way to proceed.  What 
you'll want to do is generate a single 3D volume file from the 
information.  There's a good explanation of how to do this at the xmedcon 
site:
	http://xmedcon.sourceforge.net/faq/stack.html

On a different note, how recently did you install AMIDE on OS X?  I
recently (May 5th) updated how AMIDE is distributed on OS X, and was
wondering if anyone had problems with the next instructions.

Also, one caveat to the Mac OS X version.  There's a bug somewhere between
the GTK library and Mac OS X regarding how fonts are handled, so the
program will most likely crash the 2nd time you pop-up an object
modification dialog (so save often).  The next version of AMIDE will have
a workaround for this problem, I should have time to release that this
weekend.

take care,
	Andy
