It has all the information, but you’ll have to cut and paste to extract it. Single ROI’s can be exported directly from here as an. From here you can rename it, which will be useful once you have exported it to a spreadsheet. Once you have your ROI in place, double click on it to open the ROI info panel. The selector tool is at the bottom of the ROI dropdown menu, and you’ll need it to activate any ROI. To copy it to a different patient or series, use command/C when the ROI is selected, then command/V on the image you’d like to place it on. To copy an ROI in the same series, you can use the dropdown ROI menu and choose “propagate ROI”. The repulsor tool (yellow circle) allows you to change the shape of several of these ROI’s, or you can click on the drag points to change the outline. It’s worth trying them all out to see how they fit your needs.

It has many different options, from oval and square regions, to polygons and freehand pencil ROI’s. The ROI tools are located in the “mouse button function” area of the standard toolbar. You can also just open one or a few at a time since series with many images can slow your computer down dramatically. Each series will open in a separate window. Once they are all selected, press the 2D viewer key at the top of the window. Holding the option key, click on the series under each patient that you want to open. To open selected series from multiple patients, start with the database screen. Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to go about doing it. My goal was to be able to create ROI’s on CT images of several patients, and export them into a spreadsheet format for a research project. I did buy the book ( Osirix: the pocket guide) which has some better explanations of the tools. In addition, the help available on the Wiki and in the forums is limited and frustrating to search though.

The open source, free software has lots of great features, but for users of eFilm (and former PC users) the interface is not always obvious.

I became a Mac user a few years ago, so by far the best DICOM software for me is Osirix.
