How to Upload from CD & View in 3DICOM MD Cloud

Overview

This guide shows you how to log in to 3DICOM and upload your first medical imaging series, following the same steps as demonstrated in the tutorial video. You will learn how to go from opening your imaging files to uploading and viewing your scans in the FDA-cleared viewer.

Before you begin

  • Make sure you have your imaging files (from a CD-ROM or other source) available on your computer.
  • Have your 3DICOM login credentials ready.

Please note:

We recommend copying your medical images from the CD-ROM to your computer before uploading, as this can speed up the upload process. If you don’t have enough disk space, you can upload directly from the CD-ROM, but it may take longer.

Uploading your scans to 3DICOM

Prepare your medical imaging files

Step 1. Open your CD-ROM using File Manager or File Explorer. Locate the folder containing your medical images.

Step 2. Copy the entire imaging folder.

Step 3. Paste the copied folder onto your Desktop or Documents folder for easy access.

Step 4. Wait until all files have finished copying before you continue.

Step 12. Complete any remaining wizard steps and click to start your upload. You will see an Uploads window appear at the bottom right of the screen, where you can track the upload progress.

Step 13. Wait for all series to finish uploading. Once complete, the portal will automatically display your uploaded scans.
