There’s a Slicer Issue on this topic: [Controlling visibility of volume node children in subject hierarchy · Issue #4961 · Slicer/Slicer · GitHub](https://github.com/Slicer/Slicer/issues/4961).

Could also review past discussion at

> [@Hiding patient in hierarchy](https://discourse.slicer.org/t/hiding-patient-in-hierarchy/11850):

> When I click on the eyeball at the patient level the subject hierarchy, I would expect it to hide the entire patient (both CT and structure set), but it only hides the structure set. Is this a bug or is this “works as designed”? [2020-06-03\_12-46\_1]
