Default View DICOM images? MicroDicom DICOM viewer!

Irfanview didn't work for me, either; however, XnView did.


I e-mailed with Irfan recently and he said these things about my DICOM
issue:

"Sorry, I am using a third party Dicom plugin and not all possible and
crazy Dicom types can be properly loaded "

"My plugin is based on ezDicom ... and yes, ezDicom is not perfect and
there can be crashes.
Dicom is a bad format ... "

"I found the sources but sorry, the Aeskulap code is under the GPL
license and can't be used in non-GPL programs "

XnView isn't free ...


Who said XnView isn't free? You? Or were you quoting the Irfanview
author? Of course it is free - for personal use.

"If you intend to use XnView in a company, you must purchase a license."

You never said whatever Dicom viewer you found would be deployed within
a business. So far, it has been all about just you.

... like IrfanView.


But Irfanview didn't work on the sample images. From Irfanview's
download page, 4.38 is the latest version. That's what I have. I also
downloaded and installed the 4.38 version plug-ins. Under Help -
Installed plug-ins, DICOM.DLL 4.20 "Dicom images - DCM ACR IMA" is
listed and that's the version listed on Irfanview's download page. It
didn't work when I tried using Irfanview with the Dicom plug-in to view
the sample images. Could be XnView works on some Dicom images where the
Irfanview Dicom plug-in fails, and perhaps visa versa, too.
