OsriX MD and the 64-bit extension

32-bit OsiriX Lite limits the built-in DICOM viewer to about 500-1000 images in a series. Query and Retrieve are not limited. You can use Osrix Lite to retrieve and store a very large series. The image viewer in OsiriX Lite will fail to load long fMRI runs.

Our standard work flow is to retrieve DICOM from PACS and immediately convert it to  NifTI. We normally view the images after NifTI conversion.

Pixmeo used to license the 64-bit extension as a stand-alone add-on. They no longer do this and we no longer have the 64-bit extension. The 64-bit extension is now bundled in with OsiriX MD. A single copy sells for $699.00 and a 10-seat site license is $5,199.

A work-around is to use OsriX Lite to retrieve the DICOM and then use Slicer to view the images.
