Hi
\nI am new to DICOMs. I have a query which may seem very basic . I see a field called patient_ID which links the image to a patient. Similarly Is there any field present in the dcm files which ties the image taken to a particular week during the week it was taken.\nPlease clarify

You are welcome. Multiple dcm images represent slices. CT imaging produces a 3D volume for each scan, this volume consists of 2D slices, each slice is a dcm image in our case. In other words, by stacking 2D images, you get the volume (case or patient). They're all taken at the same time/week, which is week 0 in our case.\nThe weeks and FVC values in the CSV sheets represent the progression with time, for example: week 10 indicates that this measurement has been taken 10 weeks after the CT scan. \nHope this helps.

If I understood correctly a patient's directory includes multiple .dcm files which are taken at once on week 0, but the measurements can be taken before and after week 0, is it correct?

However, in the train.csv, the week number not always starts from 0 (for example negtive week number). Does that mean the CT scan is correlated to the first week (row) in \"Weeks\" column even the week number starts from any smallest number rather than 0?

\"Week\" column shows the week of this FVC measurement relative to the CT scan (CT scan is at week 0). For example, week value of 10, means that this FVC measurement has been made 10 weeks after the CT scan. Week value of -2, means that this FVC measurement has been made 2 weeks before the CT scan. It is not necessary that the CT scan and the first FVC have been made in the same week. Hope this helps.

@ahmedhshahin Thank you for your patient explanation. It means some of CT scans do not have the correlated label ('FVC' for example) as Week 0 does not exsit in every patient records, right?

Every patient has a CT scan and FVC history. The point is that the CT scan and the first FVC measurement are not always made in the same week, but they are still correlated and this is usual as clinical practice.
