To summarize, you can get individual frames out of the `BC_CinePartition0.bin` files quite easily, for example using [RawImageGuess extension](https://github.com/acetylsalicyl/SlicerRawImageGuess#slicerrawimageguess):

However, there seems to be some metadata stored before each slice, which throws off RawImageGuess (the module assumes that the input file contains voxels in one block). You would need to implement a reader (or hire someone for implementing it), that reads the metadata+voxels for each slice and interprets the metadata and writes the voxels into a large array (e.g., a numpy array); and in the end imports the array into a volume node. It could be a simple Python script, the hard part is get information about how to interpret the file - either by getting information from the manufacturer or by reverse engineering the files.
