May I have an urgent help?

I loaded the DICOM files and I have changed the setting to CT bone and adjusted the slicer to get the bone visualization. My main focus is on the cervical bone. **However, the soft tissues around the cervical bone is still visible (as shown below). If I pull the slicer too far, part of the bone is lost.**

Please help me. I need a good visualization as I need to do segmentation.
