What is the crowd's opinion of MicroDicom?

From 3.5 billion comments

Yeah DICOM is very common, you can extract the JPG files (or other formats) from it with this for example.

I was considering of adding direct support for DICOM format, which would simplify that step.

I did exactly this! Mostly for the sake of keeping records in the same place, but also to occasionally make gifs of my progress or show off the awesome Punisher/Cthulhu lovechild image from my first scan.

I may or may not have even sent a friend the occasional CT image of my balls (and asking him to guess what it was), but that's another matter altogether.

Also, MicroDicom Viewer is free and often better than the Java viewer they include on the CD.

> I stated above that you will obtain digital copies of your x-rays, well those digital copies don't work in any specific computer. They require specific software that some doctors have to be viewed. You might need to get them developed and/or printed somehow.

The images -- X-Ray and MRI that you can request and download from MyHealthEVet (Premium acct) are in the DICOM format..

You can get a free DICOM viewer, the best one I found so far is the MicroDicom DICOM viewer

Or better yet, the next appointment you have at your VA hospital, make some time to talk with records release.. My hospital to get X-Rays or MRIs you go to radiology, tell them you need some films, give the clerk the dates and images you want, you sign a release form, and in about 15 minutes or so you'll get CD's with the images that includes a reader as well.

If you just want to view the images you can use a free viewer. I like Microdicom for that.

If you want to print them, you may be able to call an imaging center or hospital near you and see if they can do that for you.

Just curious, there's no viewer on the CD?
