#OSIRIX LITE REVIEW FULL VERSION#
The full version of OsiriX MD costs £665 for one year, £1063 for two years plus £95/year for online support. If it comes to the bit, you may be required to download OsiriX and, if that proves to be the case, download the "patient" version: Īnd follow the instructions I posted above - exactly as you did for Horus. So, I still advise contacting the hospital first with the questions I mentioned. I emailed colleagues and phoned others and it turns out that there is a free "patient" version of OsiriX, not widely known or advertised, which allows an individual patient (let's say, you) to download a version that permits opening a CD and looking at the images. The point I was making was that OsiriX Lite, the free version, doesn't play nice but I did a lot of research on your behalf - that's what we are here for after all. There are other options, such as opening the CD and locating the DICOM files manually. If any part of this doesn't work, don't hesitate to come back to us. But the basic premise of all viewers is that you open them first, then direct them to the source for import. It all depends on what part of the body has been imaged.Ĭaveat: although Horos is widely used and respected in the medical community, I have no personal experience using it. To view them, you click on the identifier (probably somebody's name), and indented beneath the name will be all the sequences: something like - T1W Axial T2W Coronal FLAIR Sagittal. Once imported, the image files should appear in the Horos Database. If it works like most DICOM viewers, it will find the DICOM files itself within the CD and offer you the choice of copying them into Horos or viewing from the CD. Click on that and direct it to your CD by navigating to it. Then from the top menu bar, find the "Import" function. What I'd do is open Horos in other words get it up and running. But, at the end of the day, if all you want is to view an MRI scan, then find a friend with Windows and get them to download it: MicroDicom - this free and widely respected, but it may only be available for Windows. RadiAnt DICOM viewer (Google for instructions and download sites) Sure, OsiriX is that and much more, but there are free alternatives around - or those that permit a 30 or 60 day free trial. On your CD, the MRI scan images are in DICOM format. The MD version is horrendously expensive (around £750/year for a one-Mac license).
#OSIRIX LITE REVIEW UPGRADE#
The "free" version of OsiriX is very hard to get and very nearly next to useless because it prompts you, almost by the minute, to upgrade to Osirix MD.
#OSIRIX LITE REVIEW PROFESSIONAL#
NB - I'm a professional user of OsiriX, that is, I have to use it as part of my job (even though technically retired!).
