Hi, coming from 3D Slicer Forum, i was advised to post this issue here  
There is a link to the original thread with more info:

> **[Odd DICOM import](https://discourse.slicer.org/t/odd-dicom-import/7576)**
>
> slicer versions: 4.10.1 ; 4.11 windows 10 this particular dicom fails to import and shows up as two copies of the content under the same volume with the original resolution (images are shrunk up to fit in the original resolution) i used Microdicom...

  
DICOM file:  
[https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1RgqhZjg6hXBfXKWZYmBYJOfFyq\_XxxiS](https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1RgqhZjg6hXBfXKWZYmBYJOfFyq_XxxiS)

This file loads up oddly as two “instances” of the image get rearranged in the same volume, to work this around i had to export the images from Microdicom (where they are read fine) then import into slicer and reassign slice thickness and spacing etc manually.
