Thanks @pieper

I dug deeper using the DICOM module , based on the recommendation on [another topic](https://discourse.slicer.org/t/load-dicom-series-using-python/3257/2) to view

> <https://github.com/SlicerRt/SlicerRT/blob/master/DicomRtImportExport/Testing/Python/DicomRtImportTest.py>

```auto
slicer.util.selectModule("DICOM")
browserWidget = slicer.modules.DICOMWidget.browserWidget
browserWidget.importDirectory(vol_pth)
#loadables, loadablesByPlugin = selectLoadables(browserWidget)

patient = slicer.dicomDatabase.patients()[0]
studies = slicer.dicomDatabase.studiesForPatient(patient)
series = [slicer.dicomDatabase.seriesForStudy(study) for study in studies]
seriesUIDs = [uid for uidList in series for uid in uidList]
browserWidget.onSeriesSelected(seriesUIDs)
browserWidget.examineForLoading()

loadables = browserWidget.loadableTable.loadables

loadablesByPlugin = browserWidget.loadablesByPlugin
for plugin in loadablesByPlugin:
  print(plugin.loadType)

```

For my 4DCT, is it sufficient to only use the Volume Sequnce import plugin lodable?
