Of course somebody viewing their own generated data knows the modality, but as soon as there is dataset sharing, this becomes more important. Modality is one of the most prominent aspects of each series (which generally becomes a volume model in ChimeraX). Here is a page listing DICOM modality attributes Ideas are to do one or more of the following: - report series modalit(ies) in the Log when opening DICOM. Remember that the DICOM hierarchy is (1) Patient (2) Study (3) Series, and as I understand it, each series becomes a 3D volume model or 4D volume series in ChimeraX. - does the level in the DICOM hierarchy also need to be a model attribute? namely patient/study/series - Prepend the modality when generating the attribute ""Volume name"" at the series level... that way it would automatically be shown in the Model Panel, reported with ""info model"", etc. #1 series0079-Body 1.1 Patient 1.1.1 20220225 1.1.1.1 MR: 785B_4Dflow_ePAT3_retro_native 79 [...] #1 RIDER-112916-4940 1.1 Patient RIDER-11291640 1.1.1 20060920 1.1.1.1 CT: Chest CT 4 1.1.1.2 SEG: QIN CT challenge: alg01 run2segmentation result 1000 [...] - also assign modality as a separate volume model attribute which could be reported with ""info models,"" used in command-line specifiers, etc." enhancement closed moderate DICOM fixed Tom Goddard all ChimeraX
