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.

Have you tried OsiriX


This is the latest version

For your MacBook Pro Intel running 10.5.8 an older version is also available


http://www.osirix-viewer.com/OldVersions.html

FYI. 10.8.4 was perfect, but not for 10.5.8.



http://www.osirix-viewer.com/OldVersions.html says
http://www.osirix-viewer.com/OldVersions/OsiriX4.0-Int.pkg.zip is 10.5 compatible, but
running its unzipped pkg file tells me it needs 10.6 or higher. 😟


I also tried http://www.osirix-viewer.com/OldVersions/OsiriX4.1.2.pkg-Int.zip to see if
the web site got the files swapped. Nope! 😟


I have contacted the support through its e-mail address and Yahoo! forum about this.

Great link.


Worked straight up, easy to import files and mainpulate. I had a collection of 3 discs that took a lot of fiddling with just to work on Windows 7, when I went back to the computer I couldn't get Windows to work again and looked here. Solved in about 5 minutes.


Just a tip, after downloading Osirix, use the import icon at the top to select the folder or disc where your images are. The application works out what it needs to import.

Good to see your name again, BDAqua ! Warm greetings.🙂


Im looking for a version of the Osirix viewer that is compatible with Lion OSX 1.7.5. The site just keeps bouncing me around to various irrelevant versions.


This link http://www.osirix-viewer.com/OldVersions.html

returns a 404 Not Found error. 😝

Any help you or

anyone else can provide will be much appreciated.

Thank you most kindly, BDAqua.


I downloaded version 4.0 (32 bits) of OsiriX, and it runs on Tiger 10.7.5. I could not manage to save or export the images as anything, but they opened nicely, so I just made screen shots of the two X-rays my wife wanted to send her orthopedist prior to her appointment next Monday. That worked well.


That OsiriX viewer is the most inscrutable thing ever to run on my Mac—at least without reading the documentation. 😝

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!
