Hi, just a quick shortcut if anybody else would be trying to get this simple functionality:

1. Load and display one of the volumes.

2. Click the “double arrow” option from the top bar in one of the views (screenshot below):

1. Set up your view.

2. Optionally: set up colours for volumes using the “Volumes” module (see the above screenshot).

Bonus: you can also display segments (and labels) on top of the overlaid images.

I found out how to do it thanks to this post: [Visualization of the background and foreground image together - #2 by cpinter](https://discourse.slicer.org/t/visualization-of-the-background-and-foreground-image-together/4981/2)
