[QUOTE="IWT, post: 1780635, member: 83420"] Hi, I have posted in fair detail about this issue elsewhere on these Forums. The unreadability of your CD by OsiriX could have at least two explanations: 1. OsiriX Lite is free but very limited in its utility mainly, if not entirely, because the developers want you to purchase the hugely expensive OsiriX MD - which I have. (NB this is implied in your screenshot). But even then, I've come across the situation you describe, which leads to: 2. The DICOM CD has been specifically created with PC software and nothing but a PC-based DICOM viewer will open it. In fact, this is suggested by your various posts, e.g., [B]PC Autoplay DICOM viewer.[/B] If that is so, your only solution is to beg or borrow a PC, then download and install the free MicroDICOM Viewer ([url]http://www.microdicom.com[/url]). BTW, although a Google search of this software often claims a Mac version of MicroDICOM, I have never found this to be feasible. Believe me, I've tried. I have to say that your situation is far from unique. I am regularly asked to review DICOM imaging and some hospitals, having never heard of Macintosh I suppose, burn PC-only CDs. Hope this helps a bit. Ian [/QUOTE]
