====== The DICOM import: "data creation not possible" when a DICOM CD is inserted ======

This is a common problem, when customers are working with a new radiology for the first time.
But first, make sure the customer is using the correct path to access the data stored on the CD.
Sometimes users forget to reset their DICOM source path back to the CD drive after reading in
DICOM files from a different source (e.g. an external hard disc drive). The current source path
is displayed in the status bar of the advanced mode DICOM transfer window. 

When the path is correct and coDiagnostiX still can’t find any DICOM files,
probably one or more of the following basic DICOM CD requirements aren’t met:

  * Single slice files (one DICOM file for each slice of the dataset)
  * Uncompressed DICOM data (this option can be set during the DICOM export)
  * Unencrypted DICOM data (this option can be set during the DICOM export)
  * Axial orientation of the dataset (has to be defined in the CD/DVT software)

Please also refer to the ''Information concerning CT/DVT scans'' which can be found in the ''help (?) menu'' of every coDiagnostiX software.
