[QUOTE="IWT, post: 1773377, member: 83420"] Hi davowolf NB - I'm a professional user of OsiriX, that is, I have to use it as part of my job (even though technically retired!). 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. The MD version is horrendously expensive (around £750/year for a one-Mac license). The good news is that you don't need it! On your CD, the MRI scan images are in DICOM format. All you need is a DICOM viewer/reader. Sure, OsiriX is that and much more, but there are free alternatives around - or those that permit a 30 or 60 day free trial. You might consider: Horos:[url]https://www.horosproject.org[/url] RadiAnt DICOM viewer (Google for instructions and download sites) MicroDicom - this free and widely respected, but it may only be available for Windows. There may be a Mac version; not sure. 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: [url]http://www.microdicom.com[/url]. and. [url]http://www.microdicom.com/downloads.html[/url] Hope this rather convoluted post helpsO:) Ian [/QUOTE]
