good day! slices are really not enough to get a quality image. I understand that you want to combine coronal, axial and sagital to get better quality? Here is a link why this cannot be done in Slicer.

> Hello, I am trying to evaluate bone quality using the bone texture module of 3d slicer software (ver.5.6.2) from pre- and post-operative CT scans of a certain surgery. However, not just with 3d slicer, but I am having trouble with axial, coronal, and sagital CT images not being displayed in series. To be more specific, dicom data a displays axial images clearly, but the resolution of coronal and sagital images becomes very low, and with dicom data b, coronal images are displayed clearly, but t…

Theoretically, this can be done in other 3D programs.  
Here is what I managed to do in Slicer = axial.
