What I'd do is open Horos in other words get it up and running. But, at the end of the day, if all you want is to view an MRI scan, then find a friend with Windows and get them to download it: MicroDicom - this free and widely respected, but it may only be available for Windows. RadiAnt DICOM viewer (Google for instructions and download sites) Sure, OsiriX is that and much more, but there are free alternatives around - or those that permit a 30 or 60 day free trial. On your CD, the MRI scan images are in DICOM format. The MD version is horrendously expensive (around £750/year for a one-Mac license). The "free" version of OsiriX is very hard to get and very nearly next to useless because it prompts you, almost by the minute, to upgrade to Osirix MD. NB - I'm a professional user of OsiriX, that is, I have to use it as part of my job (even though technically retired!).
