It seems that when I load the Dicom file the volume rendering is distorted. The axial, coronal is the brain spect tomo, and sagittal are not displaying as you would expect it to be. The dicom file is from Siemen Simbia. 3D slicer version 5.9, windows 11.

That appears to be the raw acquisition data and not the 3D reconstruction.

reconstruction images and they worked!
