Combining 3 ScalarVolume/DICOM Files into One?

[lassoan (Andras Lasso)]

This kind of imaging protocol makes sense if the images are only viewed by humans and they only review the acquired 2D image slices (they don’t do any 3D reconstruction). Sadly, this is still standard clinical practice at many hospitals. See more information in this topic:

Combining volumes - what am I missing?

In general, these multiple low-resolution acquisitions are not well suited for any 3D processing, so the best would be to acquire proper 3D volume, with as isotropic spacing (cubic voxel shape) as possible. You may try to find toolkits that can create an isotropic super-resolution image from multiple low-resolution sweeps, but this is a difficult image reconstruction problem, so there are no standard solutions.
