Getting Started with OsiriX

With over 10,000 users, OsiriX has become one of the worlds most advanced, and popular, Open Source diagnostic imaging viewers. Many would argue that a Mac running OsiriX is an ideal workstation for viewing and manipulating MRI, CT, PET as well as medical images from other sources such as confocal microscopes.

In this 32-minute, pre-recorded presentation, Dr. Joe Borelli takes you through the basic installation, set-up and use of OsiriX. Viewers will be able to download case studies and follow along, at their own pace, throughout the seminar, using their own Mac.
