OsiriX - DICOM Viewer

great dicom viewer and great api

Probably still the best all-rounder... but (and it's sadly an increasingly large but), the free version is increasingly plagued by reminders you can buy the 64 bit plugin and the paid version. Over the years i have on and off purchased the plugin, the handbook, the iphone and then the ipad version, but this is getting annoying now. With every revision, the free version is seems to be getting slower. It seems to take twice as long to volume render CTs (or maybe that's my subjective impression) even though i have a faster mac. And what's worse is practically every screen is sprinkled with extremely visible and ugly reminders that you can buy the 64 bit plugin or that this 'is not for medical use', i guess implying that you could splash out and buy the version for medical use (not to nitpick here, but there is no non-medical use for this; perhaps it should be changed to 'diagnostic use' instead?) Will continue to use this as no real alternative on the mac; sad to see the spirit of opensource software no longer inhabits this one...

Great tool
