Removed the duplicated microsoft.public.windowsxp.help_and_support in my
reply and to reduce the number of newsgroups to which the cross-posted
article was shotgunned (from 4 down to 3). Was considering removing
microsoft.public.windowsxp.basics but decided to leave it for now.

What is the best free (no trialwares!) software that can view DICOM

Like Paul says, there's probably a viewer included on the disc where are
the imaging file copies. That's where I remember finding one after
getting an MRI. As I recall, the one they gave me on the disc wanted to
install but, I think, I managed to run it from the disc.

It's free for evaluation (i.e., expiring trial version). Fully
functional. While it is trialware, it appears you merely have to
re-download the product to get an extension to the expiration.

That one is free and open source.

That's a shared library of DICOM images, perhaps for educational
purposed. If you're willing to upload your DICOM images (in a .zip
file) then you can use their web-based viewer. You don't need to
install any software but you do have to upload your images. They say
"Do not upload files with information written on image!" and it's likely
that you do have personal info in the image files.
