Thanks to all who responded to my query. I probably should have looked
harder before asking but the responses are all helpful.
I yum installed "aeskulap" which works but it's operation does not seem
very intuitive to me. I have had more success displaying the images
after copying just the image files from the disc to my nfs server.
These are images of a heart catheterization I had done several weeks ago
and display as video clips showing the injection of the radio opaque dye
to outline the blood vessels, everything is moving as the heart beats,
surprising detail, interesting to see ... Just received the disk
yesterday and I need to play with it some more, perhaps try another
viewer? This is a new thing for me and will take some time.
And yes, they did include a Windows viewer and I have a Windows VM
somewhere but prefer not to mess with that if there is an Linux alternative.
Tnx,
Bob
Btw, R has a package called fmri which allows one to read in DICOM
files. Though I am not very clear if the goal is to watch a video or to
analyze the data. If the second, then R will be useful.
Many thanks.
