eFilm Lite for Mac OS X or a freeware third party viewer to view DICOM medical images?

[Ant]

Hello.

Does anyone know if there is an eFilm Lite software for Mac OS X (10.5.8
and 10.8.4)? One of the medical doctors gave my client a burned CD with
scanned X-rays, but we were unable to read the encrypted(?) 522 KB DCIM
X-Ray image(?) files [Terminal showed "file IM000000" showed "IM000000:
DICOM medical imaging data" and none of Windows, Mac, and Linux can view
them] and run Windows software (want to avoid installing Windows dual
boot and running a virtual machine to make things more complex for him).

I was unable to find any Mac downloads on http://www.merge.com/ web site
(e-mailed sup...@merge.com and currently waiting for a reply/response
[probably not until next regular short USA work week], but probably
won't get a good answer). For now, I will have to extract these them in
Windows XP Pro. SP3 with this buggy and complex program. Ugh! :(

Thank you in advance. :)

Really? Really? Did you try googling "dicom medical imaging data mac"

Did you at least try?

I haven't had trouble with it. Try Graphic Converter.

I tried it and it told me it was unreadable. Hence why my Windows and
Linux's can't as well. I am thinking it is encrypted to be read onlyu
with eFilm Lite (from 2009 too)?

I'd go with OsiriX. A version for 10.5.x is available too.

I won't post the links, you should do some work too...

Agreed. I've used it. It works. It's free. Do be aware that the version
of the images on the CD will (probably) be a lower rez version than what
he/she showed you in the office. Just the way it is. The cynic in me
guesses that's so you can't take the images to a competing physician for
a second opinion, but I have absoluely no proof of that.

If it is corrupted, then how come eFilm Lite was able to read them just
fine?

Because that is what eFilm Lite's Help About showed. They made this product!

Perfect. That 32-bit worked in 10.8.4. I didn't try in 10.5.8 yet, but I
will assume it will work too since it is the same program. Thanks. :)

OsiriX is perfect in Mac OS X 10.8.4 (will try 10.5.8 later)! Yeah,
288x288 resolutions! Sheesh. Exactly, the whole point. SHowing to

10.5.8 did not work. http://www.osirix-viewer.com/OldVersions.html says
http://www.osirix-viewer.com/OldVersions/OsiriX4.0-Int.pkg.zip is 10.5
compatible, but running its unzipped pkg file tells me it needs 10.6 or
higher. :(

I also tried
http://www.osirix-viewer.com/OldVersions/OsiriX4.1.2.pkg-Int.zip to see
if the web site got the files swapped. Nope! :(

I have contacted the support through its e-mail address and Yahoo! forum
about this.

I have v3.7.1 working on an iSight PPC iMac running 10.5.8.

Where did you get v3.7.1? Can Intel MacBook Pro (2008) run those PPC ports?

Mine claims to be universal. There is a very small link at the bottom of
the OsiriX viewer page which leads here:

<http://www.osirix-viewer.com/OldVersions.html>

Presumably one of those ought to work.

Ah. Dumb question: How do I access Rosetta in 10.5.8?

As mentioned in my earlier re(ply/sponse) above, I already tried both
v4.x versions. Both told me to it needs Mac OS X 10.6 or higher. :(

You don't "access" Rosetta. It is automatic. Just launch the
application, and if it is PowerPC-only and you are on an Intel Mac,
Rosetta works behind the scenes to allow it to run.

(If the application is Intel-only or Universal, the native Intel code
runs directly.)

This raises a question: if your client has an Intel Mac, why is the
computer still running Mac OS X 10.5.8 rather than being updated to Mac
OS X 10.6.8?

I seem to recall something about not wanting to lose use of a printer
that required AppleTalk?

This now seems to be causing more trouble than it is worth.

Then there are the security implications of still running Mac OS X
10.5.8, which stopped getting security updates about two years ago.

PowerPC Macs have no choice, but they are arguably more secure than
Intel Macs due to the "security by obscurity" of being a different
processor and a less interesting target, e.g. the Flashback malware last
year didn't work on PowerPC Macs, but it did on Intel Macs running
10.5.x.

Rosetta is a standard component in 10.5. It is only 10.6 which had it as
an optional install.

I'm surprised that Apple would not have it available for download any
more. I don't recall it ever being available as a manual download or via
Software Update, just an on-demand installation.

In any case, you can install it from the Snow Leopard DVD after the OS
is installed, by running the "Optional Installs" installer and picking
Rosetta from the list.

IF its not installed you can't access it. If you you see a crossbar
running through the icon of the application then and it won't open
Rosetta is not installed. If you double click on Application and it does
Open Rosetta was installed.

Ant's client is running Mac OS X 10.5, which always has Rosetta
installed, but ignoring that detail...

You are mixing up two system versions. The "no entry" sign appears on
top of applications which cannot be launched on that system under any
circumstances. This includes:

(a) Classic applications on an Intel Mac (or on Mac OS X 10.5 on a
PowerPC Mac);

(b) PowerPC applications on Mac OS X 10.7 or later;

(c) Applications which specify a higher minimum system version in their
Info.plist (e.g. the OS X 10.8 version of Mail won't launch on 10.7.x or
earlier).

If you are running Mac OS X 10.6 and you don't currently have Rosetta
installed, then PowerPC application icons look normal.

If you double-click the application icon, the system attempts to launch
it, discovers Rosetta is missing, then launches Software Update, which
displays a message saying that Rosetta is required to launch a PowerPC
application, and offers to download and install it.

In an earlier post, Lewis said that mechanism wasn't working any more,
but I've just done it successfully: freshly installed Snow Leopard
system (with no customization, therefore no Rosetta), updated to 10.6.8,
tried to run a PowerPC application, got the Rosetta install request,
told it to proceed. It took about a minute to search for the update,
then got it and installed it.

The PowerPC application then worked when I launched it again.

Wait. None of these seem to work. I keep getting .html files. :( Do you
guys get the same like with v3.7.1?

Yes (a copy of the DVD on a hard drive partition), so that could mean
Software Update failed to download it, and found the installer by
searching local drives, if it has a mechanism to do that (which I
doubt).

install.log reveals no clear evidence except that the installer package
it extracted was in the place 10.6's Software Update puts downloaded
updates: /Library/Updates/041-4640/Rosetta.pkg

As far as I know, the code number is unique to that update, and I think
it is defined by Apple's software update servers. If Software Update had
sourced the installer package from another local volume, it wouldn't
know what the code number was for the update (unless Apple's servers
told it that much but then said the file wasn't available for download,
which seems unlikely).

It also seems unlikely that Software Update would need to take another
copy of the installer package - it could have just passed the path of
the package on the 10.6 install volume directly to installd.

I'd also suspect a glitch (perhaps Apple/Akamai had a temporary
problem).

Well, try this link:

<https://www.vuiis.vanderbilt.edu/~welcheb/mac%20installs/OsiriX/>

I googled 'OsiriX3.7.1.pkg.zip' or you could try
'OsiriX3.7.1-Int.pkg.zip' for the Intel build.

Thanks! I will try its v3.8 (first) too!

What about ImageJ: http://rsbweb.nih.gov/ij/
It'll run on Mac, Windows or Linux as long as a suitable version of Java
is present.
ImageJ will read DICOM files, although I know nothing about encryption
of DICOM files.
