Thanks, though!

led me to this - https://beta.jackimaging.com/demo#

which worked and I just grabbed some screen caps from there. good enough for me, thanks!

both are pretty much ruined, but one has been kind of locked up for a couple of months and I finally got aggravated enough to start the process of looking at it medically. today was DAY 1. I am sure it will be a long project with crappy results.

Worked for me.

I have been using this for years.

Used to work at a famous clinic, and needed to get that stuff on video in our dept.

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

Have not fired it up in years, but I remember it being about the best I could find at the time.

EDIT: I was just now looking at the website. When I used to use it, it was freeware. I see that has now changed.

As far as medical software goes, it is still a good deal, but if you are not a wealthy doctor, well... might be too much.

The demo might be useful. Sorry.

It is also only for Mac OS X, which is what we used for video production.

why they couldn't just give me a normal file, I don't know.

I have seen that many many times.

It is usually produced by the manufacturer of the imaging equipment, i.e Siemens.

Actually now that I enlarged your screen grab, and looked at the file structure, it looks like there is a viewer on the disc.

The autorun file should start the program, you could tried clicking on that. Some newer version of Windows are funny about autoruns.

You could also look in the folder called "viewer", there should be an .exe file that is actually the player.

Might be worth a look, the players are usually pretty good, and have convenient viewing options if there are multiple files in the scan.

you just are interested in seeing them. Maybe the file entitled, "Reports" has it.

Good luck.

just wanted it for my amusement and collection LOL - got some anthro/archeaologists in the family that like to look at bones.

so a tech took an X-ray and showed it to me. There was a big gap in my collar bone and I thought that was a break. As I was saying "oh chit, I'll be out of commission awhile," a radiologist walked by and laughed as he told me that was cartilage and I probably had bruising and tendon stretching. He said I would probably be better in a week or so.

I learned something from looking at it.

we have some good ones, the one I kick myself over was not getting copies of the images when my youngest son had a head injury - I saw them and almost passed out, he ended up having serious surgery and a plate installed with a couple dozen screws. Missed getting copies of that at the time, too bad. Kid was lucky to come out of that one. I thought it was just a bad scalp wound (lots of blood) but after he had a seizure I got him to the local ER and they flew him to Tucson. That was his second helicopter ride. When he was 18 months he was bit by a rattlesnake. He has put some extra age on me!

I know I would have been a nervous wreck worrying about children back when there were no cellphones. Glad things worked out.

kind of...meh whatever, been there done that. sort of like the last kid's baby album MIGHT have a birthdate and one set of milestones marked but is mostly blank.
