I have DICOM files from a brain MRI but they are separated into axial, coronal, and sagittal series and thus I cant work with them together as one volume. If I try the other two planes appear blurry. Is there way to combined the three series?

In short, there is no way to effectively combine these series. See details in this topic: [Combining volumes - what am I missing?](https://discourse.slicer.org/t/combining-volumes-what-am-i-missing/2941/2?u=lassoan)
