OsiriX is an image processing software dedicated to DICOM images (".dcm" / ".DCM" extension) 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

After an accident, I used this software to visualize the fracture of my knee. Even without medical knowledge, it is very fun ! The iPad/iPhone apps are nice too, It's very fun to impress his friends.
But I'm sure the medical staff has a more intelligent use of the software than me.
A quick primer on this software. When ever you get an MRI or CT scan an a diagnostic center ask them or tell them your doctor wants it on CD as well as being sent over to his/her office. Also you could be honest and tell them you want a copy for personal use, it works most of the time. Anyway, once you have the CD you can pop it into your mac and use this program to see all the cool 3D stuff in your body or that skull shot you have always wanted. Then you can shock the doc or dentist by telling them you have already seen the scan on your personal computer. My dentist could not believe it because he pays a girl full time to decode and transfer MRI data. Crazy fun.
I'm using the lite-version and have to say that it is exactly that tool I was looking for!
Now I'm able to look at my x-ray and computer tomograph pictures - spinn them around and enlarge them.
And if you wanna go deeper I just think you'll find a lot more functions in the big version.
OsiriX, being a free open-source software (FOSS), is not certified as a commercial medical device for primary diagnosis. Hence, there are no FDA/CE-1 certifications. In US and Europe, you can only use OsiriX as a reviewing, research or teaching software, not for primary diagnostic, used in clinical workflow and/or for patient care.
For a FDA/CE-1 version and for a use in a medical / clinical environment, please see: http://www.osirix-viewer.com/Partners.html"
In most industry nations the use of software for medical purposes in patients, in diagnosis, therapy or surgery is considered as a Medical device. For example: in terms of classification, OsiriX is a Class II Medical device in the European Union and the USA.
aycan Digitalsysteme GmbH offers an FDA-cleared and CE-labeled version of OsiriX as Medical device Class II with support and comprehensive documentation.
Differences between the free version of OsiriX:
   * FDA clearance and CE Mark (medical device class ll)
   * 33% faster DICOM send
   * 20% faster DICOM Query Retrieve
   * Hotline support - immediate live customer service and support
   * Various Training options
   * Comprehensive user manual
   * Integration in current PACS and RIS
   * improved stability
   * improved data protection
   * configuration support with new updates
   * improved workflow when segmenting
   * Filmcomposer with WISIWYG functionality
I'm not a physician, but only a cardiopathic and I must say it's always a great emotion for me to look over my angioplastic intervention. Really great!
At the hospital they gave me a copy of the CD, but they said it was not possible to see with a normal PC.
But they don't know Mac!
Thanks to the developer.
Crash galore on startup on my MacBook Pro 13" on 10.7.2. A dialogue box would pop up asking rebuild database or not. Irrespective of which option I choose, it'll crash. Not good at 4.0.

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 powerful Cocoa framework with an easy object-oriented and dynamic language: Objective-C.

Ended up finding the OsiriX folder in ~Users/Documents and deleting it. Problem fixed.
Q: What's OsiriX's relationship with SIri?
