Unfortunately, you cannot reconstruct a single high-resolution image from 3 sparse images. See more information in this topic:

> Hello! I am a surgeon trying to segment a hip joint for 3-D printing. I have become pretty good at isolating the femur and pelvis bones making different segments, however, I’ve noticed in all of my models I have these “ridges” or “steps” on the side of the segmented model. When I set the master file as axial, I notice the steps in the axial plane. In this picture, I used the sagittal file and have these ridges in that plane. The CT DICOMs I’m using have high resolution cuts in axial, …
