Hi I am new to Slicer and I have ten png images already registered, I want to turn them into a 3D object that allows me to view it in different angels, is it something that would be achieved by 3D slicer?

I did a quick search on the forum. Let us know of none of these topics give you an answer

> I have two stacks of .png images, imported as .tiff files, corresponding to axial and sagittal MRI data. Once I put them into Slicer using the “Data” panel, both stacks are only visible using the “Axial” view. I am trying to segment a 3D volume using the segmentation editor, but since the views are both marked as Axial, the paint tool for each volume is not aligned. I have tried using transforms to switch the plane of the Sagittal .tiff image stack, but it only flips the data in the axial view. …
