Sometimes the information shown in the list may be insufficient to identify a series unambiguously. If it is checked, the dialog specifying loading transformations explained below is skipped. Depending on the context, several series can be loaded at once, or the selection is restricted to a single series. Use Remove or Remove all to remove series from the Selected for loading area. Select the series to be loaded, Add to SELECTED, and activate the Open button. The DICOM loader presents the selection of the available image series a dialog window as illustrated below. Once the user has located the proper directory with the Change Folder button, the button can be activated to initiate scanning for DICOM files. If this is the case, the Skip scan at start box can be checked. If there are many files in a directory, the scanning process may take substantial time. If no DICOMDIR exists, all files of the directory are scanned and all valid DICOM series listed.

All non-registered DICOM files in the same directory are neglected. If a DICOMDIR file exists in the directory, it is parsed and the registered image series presented for loading. If the Skip scan at start box is not checked, PMOD searches for DICOM images in the directory. When loading DICOM data, the directory of the last DICOM load operation is referred to.
