[Development of DICOM image browser for Macintosh computer]

Although many medical image browsers are available today, most are extremely expensive. To solve this problem, we developed a Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine (DICOM) image browser (Medical Image Browser) for Macintosh computers. A comparison between this software, Advantage Workstation, NIH Image, and Graphic Converter suggested that this software is useful for diagnosis on the Macintosh desktop. This software is available at wwwl.odn.ne.jp/cak42860.
