hello Andras, and thanks for your support!

I read this thread and many others because I’m having issues while trying to upload a 3D US volume acquired with a Siemens system.

I will summarize, and I would like to know if you can help me:

- when I try to load using DCM module, I get this error

> Could not load: - as a 36 frames MultiVolume by ImagePositionPatient+AcquisitionTime as a MultiVolume

- when I load as data the files, they are deformed (elongated)
- I tried the Slicer Heart plugin and Raw Image Guess with no success
- I used the 7CF2 probe ([ref](https://renchengmedical.en.made-in-china.com/product/MwdxvDgWkUhK/China-Siemens-7CF2-Ultrasound-Probe-Transducer-for-S2000-S3000.html)) and an Acuson S3000

I can share a US scan if needed, it’s phantom data.

Please, let me know how can I solve this issue.

Thanks!
