OsiriX MD
The ultimate DICOM viewer.
Overview
OsiriX is a widely used image processing software dedicated to DICOM images produced by medical equipment (CT, MRI, PET, etc.). OsiriX MD is the commercial, FDA-cleared, and CE-marked version for clinical use. It provides advanced features for navigating through image sets and offers powerful 2D, 3D, and 4D visualization tools, including Multiplanar Reconstruction (MPR), 3D Volume Rendering, and 3D Surface Rendering. While not a surgical simulator, it is a foundational tool for surgeons to review and analyze patient scans in 3D.
