eFilm Lite for Mac OS X or a freeware third party viewer to view DICOM medical images?

Hello.

Does anyone know if there is an eFilm Lite software for Mac OS X (10.5.8 and 10.8.4)? One of the medical doctors gave my client a burned CD with scanned X-rays, but we were unable to read the encrypted(?) 522 KB DCIM X-Ray image(?) files [Terminal showed "file IM000000" showed "IM000000: DICOM medical imaging data" and none of Windows, Mac, and Linux can view them] and run Windows software (want to avoid installing Windows dual boot and running a virtual machine to make things more complex for him).

I was unable to find any Mac downloads on http://www.merge.com/ web site (e-mailed support@merge.com and currently waiting for a reply/response [probably not until next regular short USA work week], but probably won't get a good answer). For now, I will have to extract these them in Windows XP Pro. SP3. Ugh! 😟

Thank you in advance. 🙂

MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.5.8), 2.4 Ghz; A1260 model; 15" size.

Visit Macupdate.com and search for "dicom." There are several possibilities. Be sure to note the date for the listed software as some are pretty old.

Oh, good, but 10.7.5 is a Tiger without stripes, called Lion! ;)

Thanks, BDAqua! Of course I meant Lion 10.7.5; just another one of my ever more frequent senior moments. 😊

It doesn't help that I'm running Mac OS X Tiger 10.4.11 and, in parallel, Leopard 10.5.8 on the G5 sharing the dual monitors, keyboard and mouse as well as Mac OS X Tiger 10.4.11 and Leopard 10.5.8 on the Mac Pro, and that both machines are networked together, as well as that Apple abandoned the big cats with Mavericks, Yosemite and El Capitán, 😝

Well, your latest post leads to the start of this thread here, but I don't understand its context?

Could you have possibly misconstrued my last post? 😕

…I was only referencing the possible source of my "senior moment" in confusing OSX 10.7.5 with "Lion" in my sentence. My bad!

In other words, I'm not looking for any other version or other application. The one I downloaded works fine in the most advanced version of Mac OS X I am able to run on my machines, and that solved my immedate and only problem.

Thanks for all your replies, BDAqua. 🙂
