What defines which module Slicer will use to interact with a 4D volume? I am experiencing a behavior where on two different computers, with the same Slicer version and the same DICOM data, in one, the data is a Multi Volume, and on another the data is a Volume Sequence, after importing using the Add DICOM Data module.

If you go into the Advanced mode of the dicom module you can select which to use. Also there’s a plugins panel on the bottom left that you can open up and check/uncheck the methods you want to use.
