​
Loading DICOM Files

Before you can begin planning, you need to load the patient’s CT or MRI imaging data into the case.

​
Upload Methods

​
Drag and Drop

The simplest method: drag a folder of DICOM files (or a ZIP archive) directly onto the planner viewport. NavNX will parse the files, identify the series, and load the imaging data.

​
File Picker

Click the Upload DICOM button in the toolbar or on the case detail page. A file picker dialog opens where you can select:
  • A folder containing .dcm files
  • Individual .dcm files
  • A .zip archive containing DICOM files
ZIP upload is the fastest method for large studies. Compress your DICOM folder into a single ZIP file before uploading.

​
What Happens During Upload

1

Parsing

NavNX reads the DICOM headers to identify series, modality, and patient metadata.
2

Cloud upload

Files are uploaded to secure cloud storage (Google Cloud Storage) with encryption in transit and at rest.
3

Loading

The imaging data is loaded into the viewport. The viewer starts at the middle slice of the series.

​
Cloud Storage

Once uploaded, DICOM files are stored securely in the cloud. When you reopen the case, the imaging data is automatically reloaded — there is no need to upload again.
DICOM files are stored in your organisation’s regional data centre. Data never leaves the jurisdiction where your organisation is registered.

NavNX does not modify or delete original DICOM files. The uploaded data is a copy stored in the cloud alongside the case.
