[Insight-users] OsiriX 1.2: FREE open-source DICOM viewer based on ITK and VTK for MacOS X

[Antoine ROSSET]

OsiriX is an image processing software dedicated to DICOM images produced by
medical equipment (MRI, CT, PET, PET-CT, ...) and confocal microscopy (LSM
and BioRAD-PIC format). It can also read many other file formats: TIFF
(8,16, 32 bits), JPEG, PDF, AVI, MPEG and Quicktime. It is fully compliant
with the DICOM standard for image comunication and image file formats.
OsiriX is able to receive images transferred by DICOM communication protocol
from any PACS or medical imaging modality (STORE SCP - Service Class
Provider, STORE SCU - Service Class User, and Query/Retrieve) .

OsiriX has been specifically designed for navigation and visualization of
multimodality and multidimensional images: 2D Viewer, 3D Viewer, 4D Viewer
(3D series with temporal dimension, for example: Cardiac-CT) and 5D Viewer
(3D series with temporal and functional dimensions, for example:
Cardiac-PET-CT). The 3D Viewer offers all modern rendering modes:
Multiplanar reconstruction (MPR), Surface Rendering, Volume Rendering and
Maximum Intensity Projection (MIP). All these modes support 4D data and are
able to produce image fusion between two different series (for example:
PET-CT).

Osirix is at the same time a DICOM PACS workstation for medical imaging and
an image processing software for medical research (radiology and nuclear
imaging), functional imaging, 3D imaging, confocal microscopy and molecular
imaging.

Osirix supports a complete plug-ins architecture that allows you to expand
the capabilities of OsiriX for your personal needs! This plug-in
architecture gives you access to the powerfull Cocoa framework with an easy
object-oriented and dynamic language: Objective-C.
