[QUOTE="Lifeisabeach, post: 1773916, member: 38864"] I've given some more thought on how to manage this if the password proves to be correct. If it does, I'm going to have to recommend using The Unarchiver to do the extractions if there are multiple zip files inside the zip file. With the settings that I'm going to review here, this will ensure that all zip files will be extracted in-place with the extracted folder having the same name as the zip file itself. First, open The Unarchiver and go to its settings. Make any changes needed to match the screen shot below: [ATTACH=FULL]27262[/ATTACH] Once done, quit The Unarchiver. Next, drag the zip file off the DICOM disc you have to a location of your choosing on your Mac's drive. The Desktop will do. Once copied, open that copy with The Unarchiver. If it takes the password, you will have a folder in place of the zip file but otherwise with the same name. Open the folder. If there are more zip files, repeat. Once there are no more zip files, you can try using OsiriX on the master folder. Here's a screen cap of a disc of my own showing the folder on the CD: [ATTACH=FULL]27263[/ATTACH] The files you see on the far right are the DICOM image files. Each of those folders you see numbered 2522, 2523, etc all have images in them.

OsiriX will have something similar (I don't have it at the moment... my copy was outdated, but follow Ian's instructions). I told it to just "Copy Links", and voila... it saw all the images in the subfolder and loaded them up. Another little power tip... all those files you see that have no extension?

I used to have a general graphics viewer that recognized DICOM images, but darned if I can recall what it was. You don't NEED to do this, but if you plan to keep the files on your computer, it's tidier and less confusing IMO to have an identifying extension on them. [/QUOTE]
