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 powerful Cocoa framework with an easy object-oriented and dynamic language: Objective-C.
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.
All these modes support 4D data and are able to produce image fusion between two different series (for example: PET-CT). The 3D Viewer offers all modern rendering modes: Multiplanar reconstruction (MPR), Surface Rendering, Volume Rendering and Maximum Intensity Projection (MIP).
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). 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). It is fully compliant with the DICOM standard for image comunication and image file formats. It can also read many other file formats: TIFF (8,16, 32 bits), JPEG, PDF, AVI, MPEG and Quicktime. ) and confocal microscopy (LSM and BioRAD-PIC format).
As part of the process, you will need to contact Andy to organise a license key (free trial period available).ĭownload and setup instruction from Geekier The initial author of the open source code, Andy Le, has also created a personal version that is simpler to install. There are two options currently, one far easier than the other: Easy keeps a local database of previously uploaded cases to avoid duplication.
It will then take care of the rest, anonymising cases and sending them to your Radiopaedia account as draft cases. Simply select any file or folder with Dicom Images. Everything works locally, nothing is uploaded to any server.
It is designed to be installed on its own server and only needs query-retrieve rights on your PACS database. A free Dicom Viewer, for viewing images on Windows, Mac or Linux, without any downloads or program installs. This is a stand-alone open source project started by Radiopaedia and coded by Andy Le. If that doesn't suit you, our users have ranked more than 25 alternatives to OsiriX and 15 are free and. The best free Windows alternative is 3D Slicer, which is also Open Source. Radiopaedia vendor neutral uploader (Windows) OsiriX is not available for Windows but there are plenty of alternatives that runs on Windows with similar functionality.
Then download the Radiopaedia plugin from here. If you haven't done so already, first download Horos from here.
Using our application programming interface (API), third parties can develop applications to automate uploading cases from PACS or from other settings. A number of uploaders are available to help you create cases faster than by merely using the browser.
