… and the app it’s just way too expensive for someone who just wants to browse some x-rays maybe once or twice and then not use it again. I tried to open some files that I got from my radiologist that worked on the version of this app that was on the CD on my Macintosh, but when I tried to open the same files on my iPhone, it was really restrictive Ffirst It wouldn’t even let me pull them over and then when I kind of find a tricky way to bring them over it wouldn’t let me open them up at all so there’s no way to view an image unless you pay.
Good, but urgently need annotations!

I would really use this app seriously if I could see fields like 'series description' and 'comments' in both the database and the image views. Also the image view needs the pulse sequence, exam no, date, TE/TR/FA/IR/rBW/FOV...or as for the Mac version, customizable DICOM fields. On the iPad there is plenty of space for 10-20 optional DICOM fields in the image view w/o cluttering it....please add this so one can know what is what and how the images were acquired.In the database view, again, please let us select the MR images (in different series) by series desc + comments so that the right series can be selected without random guessing. I find this should be priority over more advanced image processing features, but it would also be nice to be able to lock slice scrolling when viewing two series side by side.
Very Good app but not Great ...Yet

The Good: This app works very well with the Osirix Viewing program on my (2010) Mac Mini. The Query/Retrieve function is quick between the two. Images look very good on the iPad, easy to use.The Bad: I do get the occasional crash, I can not reproduce it but it can happen very randomly with no rhyme or reason. No certain function seems to cause it, it just happens. Usually 2-3 times / day. I would very much like the option of completely turning off the contrast control or having it greyed out by default, like the angle controls are. There are many times I will show someone an x-ray and if I don't remember to disable the contrast right away it will go completely white or black. I usually take a series of 4 x-rays and I have to disable contrast when I switch to the next x-ray or risk it accidentally going full black and having to "play" with the image to get it back to normal.If there was also a way to hide the controls(top and bottom menu) while in the viewer or enter a "full-screen" mode then this app would definitely earn the 5 stars it is trying to receive.I am using an iPad2 16GB 3G
A Game Changer!
SNWombat
Great job on version 3!Outstanding implementation of the dual viewer with cross reference lines. Now I can actually use OSIRIX to look at Spine MRIs. That is truly a game changer!The expanded Q&R is exactly what I have been needing.The only thing I have had difficulty with is quickly scrolling through images one at a time without activating cine mode. When I have a bunch of images in a series to get through and I start tapping, it too easily turns into a double tap which activates cine and then I lose my place. Getting cine to stop isn't so easy, either.I personally never use cine mode in my daily practice and I would bet many (if not most) people who use OSIRIX HD will rarely (if ever) need cine mode. Hopefully these talented developers will come up with a different method of activating that feature which will not so easily interfere with routine image scrolling.Other than that, I love the new version and I will be using it a lot!
