OsiriX 5.6

OsiriX is an intuitive and very powerful DICOM viewer application for Mac OS X.

OsiriX is capable of receiving DICOM images (STORE SCP - Service Class Provider) from a PACS network and it is compatible with DICOM files and PACS networks.

OsiriX has been designed for multi-series MRI exams, image fusion, cardiac CT, and 3D reconstructions and it comes with support for 5D viewers that can be used PET-CT and cardiac CT examinations-series.

To be able to learn how to do image fusion, use the 4D viewer and do 3D reconstructions, please read the "Quick Manual".

Here are some key features of "OsiriX":

Expansion & Scientific Research:
· OsiriX supports a complete dynamic plugins architecture
· Access pixels directly in 32-bits float for B&W images or ARGB values for color images
· Create and manage windows
· Access the entire Cocoa framework
· Create and manage OpenGL views
· Faster than IDL, Easier than ImageJ !

Based on robust Open-Source components:
· Cocoa (OpenStep, GNUStep, NextStep)
· VTK (Visualization Toolkit)
· ITK (Insight Toolkit)
· PixelMed (David Clunie)
· Papyrus 3.0 (Digital Imaging Unit)
· DICOM Offis DCMTK
· OpenGL
· LibTIFF
· LibJPEG

Requirements:

· Intel CPU
· 1GB of RAM - 6GB recommended
· 4GB of RAM if you plan to open more than 3000 images (cardiac CT wih 4D Viewer).

Limitations:

· Does not allow you to address an unlimited memory space
· Does not have 64-bit support
