The problem with such proprietary formats is that they have their custom headers and it is not too straightforward to load it. Do you happen to know the manufacturer of the ultrasound that produced the file?

In any case you could try with this module: [New extension: RawImageGuess - for loading of images from unrecognized file format](https://discourse.slicer.org/t/new-extension-rawimageguess-for-loading-of-images-from-unrecognized-file-format/9219)

Let us know how it goes.
