Short answer is that it’s not really doable to combine the multiple series into one higher res volume. But if your goal is to segment the tumor you should look into the [BraTS models in Auto3DSeg](https://github.com/lassoan/SlicerMONAIAuto3DSeg/releases/tag/ModelsTestResults#:~:text=Brain%20Tumor%20Segmentation%20(BRATS)%20GLI%20(v1.0.0)).

> Hi, I’m working on MRI to segment cheek fat volume and often I have one serie of few images for axial axe, one serie for coronal axe, one serie for sagittal axe (for one patient, one IRM). To get a better volume segmentation I would like to stitch these series. Stitch volume module can help me to match differents axes or it is for differents series of the same axe? Sorry for my English slight_smile
