All Slicer versions are available at [https://github.com/Slicer/Slicer/commits/master](https://github.com/Slicer/Slicer/commits/master).

It looks like you are loading a GE Invenia ABUS image. A [reader plugin for such images was added to Slicer Preview Release a couple of months ago](https://discourse.slicer.org/t/load-ge-invenia-abus-images-from-dicom/15067).

To load the images correctly (i.e., reconstructing the curved geometry), make sure that the `DICOMGeAbusPlugin` plugin is enabled in DICOM module / DICOM Plugins section. `DICOM.instanceUIDs` is only set if loaded by `DICOMScalarVolumePlugin`. For all other DICOM data objects, such as the ABUS image, you can get the series instance UID from the subject hierarchy, as shown [here](https://slicer.readthedocs.io/en/latest/developer_guide/script_repository.html#access-tag-of-an-item-in-the-subject-hierarchy-tree).
