Ok so none of my readers will ever use this software, but I found it too cool not to write about it and post some screenshots.  FOSS in medicine is pretty cool.

OsiriX is an open source imaging program developed specifically for the Macintosh and is dedicated to DICOM images, which is associated with a MRI, CT, PET, PET-CT, SPECT-CT or Ultrasound scan.  The following quote from OsiriX explains a little bit more.

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).

Now for some cool shots
