What kind of data set it is?  
Could you try the latest stable version of Slicer?

Is it a time sequence of slices or volumes or just a plain 3D volume? Regular 3D volumes should be possible to load without issues. Time sequences can be stored in many different ways, so loading of those may require some tuning.

Do you see any errors or warnings in the application log? (`X` icon in the lower-right corner of the application window)

Do you see any errors or warnings in the application log? (you can see the log if you click `X` icon in the lower-right corner of the application window)

Can you share an anonymized data set (or a phantom data set acquired with the same acquisition protocol)?

Could you share with us what was the solution so that we can learn from it (what we can improve in the future)? Thank you.
