Hey everyone, I’m running into an issue with diffusion series in OHIF.
When I load a DICOM series that has multiple volumes (different b-values), the b-value selection modal pops up as expected, but when I pick a different b-value, the image doesn’t update or re-render, it just stays on the initial volume.
Steps to reproduce:
Load a DICOM series with multiple diffusion b-values in OHIF.
Wait for the b-value selection modal to appear.
Change to a different b-value.
Notice that the image doesn’t change.
Expected behavior:
When selecting another value, the viewer should update and display the corresponding volume.
Version: OHIF 3.12
It used to work fine when opening local DICOM files, but it’s not working anymore. But it also works perfectly on other DICOM viewers.
isn’t this the same as this issue

### Describe the Bug
I'm facing an issue where Diffusion-Weighted Imaging (DWI… ) sequences from my MRI studies are not displaying correctly in OHIF Viewer, even though the same DWI images work perfectly in other DICOM viewers like Orthanc, Weasis, and Radiant.
The specific problem:
- DWI series (labeled as "Ax DWI ALL b1000" in my studies) either don't appear at all or display incorrectly in OHIF
- Other sequences like T2, PROPELER, and other MRI series display without issues
- The DWI images are properly accessible and viewable in other viewers, confirming the DICOM files themselves are valid
What I've already verified:
✅ DWI images load correctly in Orthanc viewer
✅ DWI images display properly in Weasis
✅ DWI images work fine in Radiant
✅ Only OHIF seems to have this specific issue with DWI sequences

What I need help with:
What could be causing this specific issue with DWI sequences in OHIF, and what steps should I take to troubleshoot and resolve this display problem?
### Steps to Reproduce
Diffusion-Weighted Imaging (DWI) sequences from my MRI studies are not displaying correctly in OHIF Viewer, even though the same DWI images work perfectly in other DICOM viewers like Orthanc, Weasis, and Radiant.
### The current behavior
- DWI series (labeled as "Ax DWI ALL b1000" in my studies) either don't appear at all or display incorrectly in OHIF
### The expected behavior
- It should render the DWI images properly like other viewers.
