Hi,  
I have a MR dicom data and I want to view 3D with volume rendering. Folder include 3 volume but each volume contain only one clear part (as shown in image). My purpose is create a new volume that includes clear parts from other volumes. Is that possible? If possible how can i do step by step.

Thank you.
