OsiriX 3.2.1 Released and Viewing MRI Image Movies
Today I fired up OsiriX to add in the MRI images from Liza's hip and it told me that 3.2.1 had been released. Not as simple and neat as Sparkle, but not bad. I got the 32-bit version and then loaded up Liza's MRI images. Lots of images, as it turns out.
Since this is the first set of MRI images I've loaded into OsiriX, I was very interested to see how it would treat them, and what capabilities it'd have for looking at them. Well, I was certainly not disappointed. This is amazing.
The images can be viewed in a movie where the slices are sequenced based on the order in which they were placed on the media - which I only assume was the order in which they were taken. Very exciting. Looks just like those amazing images you see on TV when they "move" through the human body.
Then there's the 3D representation. Now I'm not doctor, but this stuff is very cool, and the body seems to take on a more machine-like quality when you look at it as this level. I can see what my sister and brother-in-law said about surgery - it's not a person so much as a machine you're working on. Makes it possible to remain a little detached and therefore better prepared to handle the problems that might arise.
Anyway, get it if you have any x-rays or MRI images. It's amazing.
