[QUOTE="Lifeisabeach, post: 1773711, member: 38864"] If you still get stuck after Horos gets back to you, I would like to suggest a different approach here. In spite of what you may have been told, that zip file might not even contain the images. I've never seen it that way, but I can't speak for every system out there in how these discs are made either. First, take a look at this page I'll link to below. They give an overview of how DICOM cds typically are organized. It varies from vendor-to-vendor, but it's a starting point. [URL]https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3354356/figure/F1/[/URL] Normally the DICOM images are all individual files in a subfolder that the embedded viewer knows where to look automatically.
