You might consider saving your data using [WriteVTK.jl](https://github.com/jipolanco/WriteVTK.jl) and then visualizing with [Paraview](http://www.paraview.org/). That provides slices and much more. Paraview takes some effort to learn, but I find it preferable to Matlab for some volume visualizations, and especially good for volume+time (like CFD). Not the Julia solution you ask for, but nicely compatible with Julia.
