I saw someone’s dicombrowser or dicom module with image preview on the forum before, but I couldn’t find similar features in the slicer plugin today,Do we have this type of extension？

Note you can also see a thumbnail in the current preview release by right clicking and picking View Metadata from the menu (the images are shown before sorting but you can see what they look like).

It’s in a context menu when you right click on an element in the database browser.

You have version 5.2.1 there. You need to use a newer version (the latest preview has it, maybe 5.2.2, I don’t recall for sure).
