HOW TO EXTRACT IMAGES FROM A MRI DICOM DISK

Whether you need to extract the images so you view them on a phone or tablet, or whether you want to extract the images so you can add them to Trial Director or TrialPad, the first step is getting the images off the disk and onto your laptop.

Then, use a DICOM viewer to open the images. Frequently, a DICOM viewer will be included with the disk you get in discovery. But, even if it does, I still prefer to use Onis Viewer 2.5. AND IT'S FREE.

Once the images are open, you'll need to extract them, a process that Onis Viewer makes incredibly simply compared to many of the other DICOM viewers I've used.

Once extracted, I then go an additional step and combine the jpegs of each series into a single PDF.

This process makes handling and viewing the images incredibly easy, but make sure you watch the full video to the end where I discuss the caveats and cases where you might want to bring a laptop with the Onis Viewer on it to the courtroom with you.

If you have any questions, feel free to drop a comment. I'll try to answer them the best I can.

Just want to say, thank you!!!! I was literally sitting down about to cry from frustration! We my daughter suggested to google it. Your video came up. I was suppose to send my daughter MRI to her dr. Through a link, we live hours away, I can’t just drop it off. I was expecting to see pictures in the files. thank you again!!!

[sarita]

Thank you! I'm a paralegal and just ran into this site. I'm very much looking forward to more tutorials from you. You're quite knowledgeable, and are blessed with the gift of explaining difficult things in an easy to understand manner!

Just started my own practice and this was absolutely the software info I needed in the format I needed. This is excellent extraction for demands for settlement.

I just wanted to say thank you! I was diagnosed with something at the hospital and I needed the images of the MRI to send to the hospital to authorize the surgery. The doctor was super nice and gave me a cd right away so I wouldn’t have to go through any trouble and could do everything fast. I was freaking out thinking how I was gonna make this work, decided to google it and your video saved my life. Thank you!

[jackhenderson]

How anybody can dislike this video is beyond me.. perfectly articulated information.
Thank you so much for your help.
Blessings unto all that read this.

[avionita]

This tutorial just saved me tons of money from having to pay to print my MRI result... all just to be able to move on with my physiotherapy session. THANK YOU!

[ChristianWeitenberner]

Thanks for the walk through! The software bundled with these imaging disks look like they were developed in the 90s (and probably were). The viewer you were using in the video was a great upgrade from what was available on the disk. I was able to export the images within a few minutes after downloading.

[ninagiosa]

This is such a thorough and concise tutorial. You really have a gift for explaining things. Thank you so much for making this video, it helped me in a time of need!!!

Having my 1st experience with MRI, my knee being scanned on a GE Signa Optima. The cd-rom given to me (the patient) included on it 'cdviewer.exe' and a sub-folder named 'A'. Inside of folder 'A' was the full set of images. They merely did not contain any file name extension. I merely copied all of those files to a hard drive, and added the '*.dcm' extension. This note is only for GE produced cd-roms. Other MRI vendors will have other sub folder names.

Thank you so much! This helped me be able to see my pituitary tumor since none of my doctors showed me(just gave results). Thanks again!

[poiuytrewq]

Thank you so much. This has saved us hours of trying to wait to get any hard copy xrays from the hospital. Very easy to follow!

[alohachristine]

This was VERY helpful and we were able to extract our images from the MRI. Thank you so much!!!

[davidtempler]

I have been watching many of your vids and recommending them to local colleagues. Great stuff all around. Fantastic.

[monicaolson]

Thank you! MRI done in Feb 2023. It worked perfectly with an outdated laptop with windows 7 !! easy steps to install the program. I was able to view and download so easy all the images!

[disclosedtalentschannel]

Thank you for the information, brother. And thanks to ONIS for their wonderful viewing software. My mom and I really appreciate you all.

[kathyproctor]

I had a disk with software for a mac computer. I ran across this video and ta-da.. I got into the images on the disk. Thank you. I am searching all my disk that contain my lungs for my pulmonologist but, that particular disk wasn't labeled to what was on it. This video was so informative and very helpful. Thank you

[JustTayo]

Thank you so so so much. This has been very very helpful and i appreciate you taking your time to doing this. Thus was the only thing needed for me to get through Meps. Thanks again.

[sirstriker]

Thanks a lot. My mom wanted me to access her X-ray photos but she told me it was used by a Mac. After searching Apple photo converters with no success I searched how to view X-ray photos on PC. This was very helpful and it works! My computer warned me about the program I was downloading but I took the risk and just ignored it.

[donaldtwombly]

[TheXenaangel]
