To view them, you click on the identifier (probably somebody's name), and indented beneath the name will be all the sequences: something like - T1W Axial T2W Coronal FLAIR Sagittal. Once imported, the image files should appear in the Horos Database. If it works like most DICOM viewers, it will find the DICOM files itself within the CD and offer you the choice of copying them into Horos or viewing from the CD. Click on that and direct it to your CD by navigating to it. Then from the top menu bar, find the "Import" function. What I'd do is open Horos in other words get it up and running. 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: MicroDicom - this free and widely respected, but it may only be available for Windows. RadiAnt DICOM viewer (Google for instructions and download sites) Sure, OsiriX is that and much more, but there are free alternatives around - or those that permit a 30 or 60 day free trial. On your CD, the MRI scan images are in DICOM format. The MD version is horrendously expensive (around £750/year for a one-Mac license). 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.
Will continue to use this as no real alternative on the mac sad to see the spirit of opensource software no longer inhabits this one.NB - I'm a professional user of OsiriX, that is, I have to use it as part of my job (even though technically retired!). And what's worse is practically every screen is sprinkled with extremely visible and ugly reminders that you can buy the 64 bit plugin or that this 'is not for medical use', i guess implying that you could splash out and buy the version for medical use (not to nitpick here, but there is no non-medical use for this perhaps it should be changed to 'diagnostic use' instead?)
It seems to take twice as long to volume render CTs (or maybe that's my subjective impression) even though i have a faster mac. With every revision, the free version is seems to be getting slower. Over the years i have on and off purchased the plugin, the handbook, the iphone and then the ipad version, but this is getting annoying now. but (and it's sadly an increasingly large but), the free version is increasingly plagued by reminders you can buy the 64 bit plugin and the paid version.
