Hi Andras,

sorry, I haven’t been able to find how I can send private messages.

I’ve been trying to load a GE Kretz ultrasound volume (.vol) given to me by a sonographer.  
After installing the SlicerHeart Extension I was able to load a few of the supplied files, but I wasn’t able to visualise the volumes correctly following the steps shown in your demonstration video.

Would you be so kind and test the following files?

The file version 6\_2 seemed to be the “closest” but it seems to be a wrong projection somehow.

Any tips would be very much appreciated!

Thank you
