Series concatenation
Concatenate separate series into a single contiguous series.
Problem
Two series from the same study should be concatenated into one — e.g. a CT scan that was interrupted and resumed produced two Series Instance UIDs, but clinically it’s one continuous acquisition. Concatenating them under a single series simplifies viewing (one scrollable stack instead of two).
Steps
-
Open the files (⌘O) and switch to the Files tab.
-
Ensure both series are under the same study — use Merge dropdown or drag-and-drop if they’re under different study headers.
-
Use the Merge series dropdown on one series row to absorb the other series into it.
-
Verify — the tree shows one series row. Switch to View mode to confirm all slices are in a single scrollable stack.
Result
The two series consolidate into one row and their slices scroll together in the viewport. The survivor keeps its Series Instance UID, the absorbed identifier is dropped, and ⌘Z restores the two separate series.
