I am trying to create a good image of my brain from an MRI I just had but when I load in the DICOM data, some of the planes are low resolution. The data I have is broken down into different subsections; sagittal, axial, coronal, etc. and when I click on one of them, the main part of the image looks good but the other planes are low resolution. I feel like I need to combine the subsections in order to pull in the high resolution images for all the planes, but I have no idea how. Any tips are appreciated.

This is exactly the use case for SynthSR.
