OsiriX Reviews
"Osirix is a great DICOM solution."
Overall: Using this as a store and forward server and as a CD reader to import DICOM into my PACS.
Pros: Osirix is a very fast server and does excellent post-processing, like reslicing and color 3D rendering.
Cons: This was originally a free shareware product, but the free version has been hobbled over the years and now one must buy the paid version to get server capability. Also, new versions are now longer free and you get bugged to buy upgrades way too often. But the old versions work fine, so you can ignore the messages if you are happy with what you have.
"The BEST DICOM viewer"
Overall: We use Osirix for full reporting of cases by our radiographers. Its a great system and unparalleled in it's range of features.
Pros: This software is really easy to use and creates very detailed 3D reconstructions. It's easy to create MPR's and is fast and works well.
Cons: It's quite an expensive system to purchase so we only have it on a couple of Mac's meaning we use a cheaper DICOM viewer throughout the rest of the hospital.
"Useful program to visualize and edit biomedical images in DICOM format"
Overall: Sometimes the viewers of some equipment are not recorded with the study. In these cases it is very useful.
Pros: Good utility cost benefit. The image is not distorted, observing good quality, as seen in the imaging equipment.
Cons: Limited compatibility with images obtained with Phillips equipment. The parameter that modifies opacity with the mouse is very sensitive. You have to improve the visibility of the play button on the main panel.
"Osirix is the definitive viewer for medical DICOM images"
Pros: Excellent features for viewing DICOM (and other) images. Unmatched rendering capabilities for generating 3D images. It's fairly powerful too with morphological and region-growing tools available. Best of all it's fairly easy to use and to teach others to use quickly.
Cons: Only available for MACs which forces Windows users to get a new machine (it's worth it though).
"Expensive product only to become not fit for purpose when new versions available. "
Pros: Useful as a tool for teaching and exam practice for trainees.
Cons: Planned obsolescence - when new versions become available constant requests to upgrade whilst using the product and a banner obscuring part of the image make it unsuitable for the use for which it was purchased.
"Osirix medical imaging"
Overall: I feel as though I could write an essay on this product having used it for 2 years. It can be a great product and has many cool features. That being said it is so far away from user friendly and it’s overall ease of use is incredibly low. While I would like to recommend the program I want to save everyone here the hours of endlessly remeasuring muscle size due to the program choosing what it thinks is best. The program has good intentions and cool features but it completely misses the ball.
Pros: Osirix is very cutting edge and is a very nice program when it does what it’s supposed to. This is not very often unfortunately.
Cons: The program is incredibly difficult to use. In terms of segmenting muscles from MRI images it will choose for you where to place lines. You are unable to change your options when entering the program and create custom settings for your own measurements.
