EDITOR NOTES
Read about the OsiriX ADC success story, what it does and how the authors managed to integrate so many key Apple technologies into a free application.

DESCRIPTION

OsiriX is an image processing software dedicated to DICOM images (".dcm" / ".DCM" extension) produced by medical equipment (MRI, CT, PET, PET-CT, ...) and confocal microscopy (LSM and BioRAD-PIC format). It can also read many other file formats: TIFF (8,16, 32 bits), JPEG, PDF, AVI, MPEG and Quicktime. It is fully compliant with the DICOM standard for image comunication and image file formats. OsiriX is able to receive images transferred by DICOM communication protocol from any PACS or medical imaging modality (STORE SCP - Service Class Provider, STORE SCU - Service Class User, and Query/Retrieve).

OsiriX has been specifically designed for navigation and visualization of multimodality and multidimensional images: 2D Viewer, 3D Viewer, 4D Viewer (3D series with temporal dimension, for example: Cardiac-CT) and 5D Viewer (3D series with temporal and functional dimensions, for example: Cardiac-PET-CT). The 3D Viewer offers all modern rendering modes: Multiplanar reconstruction (MPR), Surface Rendering, Volume Rendering and Maximum Intensity Projection (MIP). All these modes support 4D data and are able to produce image fusion between two different series (for example: PET-CT).

Osirix is at the same time a DICOM PACS workstation for medical imaging and an image processing software for medical research (radiology and nuclear imaging), functional imaging, 3D imaging, confocal microscopy and molecular imaging.

Osirix supports a complete plug-ins architecture that allows you to expand the capabilities of OsiriX for your personal needs! This plug-in architecture gives you access to the powerful Cocoa framework with an easy object-oriented and dynamic language: Objective-C.

A Wiki Manual is available.

Jatayu lantas berkeinginan untuk menangkap sang matahari, keinginan yang selalu dicegah oleh sang kakak, Sempati. Tetapi karena Jatayu keras hati, terbang juga ia untuk menangkap matahari. Matahari yang merasa terusik menjadi marah besar dan melepaskan sinarnya yang membakar kearah Jatayu. Melihat adik tersayang dalam bahaya besar, serta merta Sempati terbang menyusul untuk menyelamatkan Jatayu. Sempati mengembangkan sayapnya demi melindungi Jatayu dari sinar matahari yang membakar. Jatayu selamat, tetapi Sempati jatuh ke bumi dengan sayap terbakar.
Sejak itu Sempati tak lagi bisa terbang. Ia menghabiskan sisa hidupnya dalam gua, sementara Jatayu diangkat menjadi raja segala burung. Namun akhirnya Jatayu mati dalam pertarungan melawan Rahwana demi menyelamatkan Shinta. Jatayu mati di pangkuan Rama tanpa sempat memberitahu dimana Shinta berada. Demi mendengar selentingan kematian adiknya, Sempati segera keluar dari gua demi mencari kabar. Pada saat itulah ia bertemu Hanuman yang ditugaskan Rama untuk mencari tahu keberadaan Shinta.

Kesedihan Sempati tumpah saat bertemu Hanuman. Tetapi Hanuman yang memang terkenal bijaksana segera menghibur Sempati dengan menceritakan kepahlawanan Jatayu. Akhirnya, dengan kemampuan penglihatannya yang tajam, Sempati sanggup melihat keberadaan Shinta yang sedang disekap di Alengka dan memberitahu Hanuman untuk segera berangkat ke Alengka menjemput Shinta.
