Years ago (like 10 maybe? I’m blessed w ADHD so I have absolutely no concept of time) I had downloaded that OsiriX when it was free & was viewing all my MRI’s, etc. then I was living in the woods for 4 yrs (long story, another adventure) & when I finally got to a place where I could use my old G4 the app was bad. They had one you could buy but my experience w the free one was so poor that there was no way I was going to buy it.Recently I had more X-rays & decided to try looking at them after the VA gave me a disc. I saw that it included OsiriX Lite. I decided to look in the app store & voila, this beautiful little app which not only worked great (so far) but it’s entirely free to boot!I’m giving it 4 stars bc it’s still got some quirks. However, I no longer have to worry about buying OsiriX, which I wouldn’t do anyways bc when you’re living on an extremely limited fixed income, such niceties become even more extremely difficult to justify even a penny to it,Anyways it does for the most part what it says it does & I’m sure most of the quirks I encountered were due to my lack of experience w the app. However, rest assured I will be putting it to the test as I have a plethora (can you say “plethora”?) of discs w X-rays, CT’s. MRI’s & CT myelograms to look at. Perhaps I will chg it to a 5 afterwards.

This product is the continuation of Osirix, which was my go-to imaging program for Mac in years past. The program is Robust, it has every tool you would want, It can be used for professional use - i.e. actual formal reading of scans. Pro tip - I keep all of our family's images. Hospitals dispose of them in 3-5 years, and having old scans for comparision is vital when something pops up. The question always is "Was that there 10 years ago?" Always get a CD of your images - the hospital should, and must give these to you. Yes - you will have to ask/edmand them. Do it. This program willl allow you to compare old scans. Today, I compared my wife's images to some we got 20 years ago.

I build surgical case studies using all kinds of different CD's with .dcm files. On Windows, my go to has been Radiant. I have struggled for a long time to find something close to this for the Mac. This program exceeds my expectations. I would gladly pay for it because of all its features.

I've been using Osirix for years. They are getting ridiculous with their license, forcing me to upgrade when the macOS upgrades. Its not cheap. I found this fork and for 30 dollars you get all the abilities of Osirix. It functions about the same. One can tell there isn't as much support. Understandable for 20x less price to continue license. I did get a response from the dev on some feedback right away which was nice. The only problem I have is its so slow to transfer files from the disc. It sees like 100x the "files" it needs to copy just for a radiograph and Osirix didn't do that. For instance a typical radiograph copies 10 files maybe less on Osirix but "80" on this program. Therefore it takes too much time just to review a radiograph before a report of findings. It 98% wont' recognize the disc and automatically copy to the database and 100% doesn't eject. Efficiency is important at a busy office I may have to purchase Osirix only because time is money and I'm always behind with patients as it is :).
