Transferring DICOM Files with OsiriX: A Step-by-Step Guide to Using the Osirix DICOM Library

When it comes to transferring DICOM files, using a reliable and efficient method is crucial. OsiriX, a popular digital imaging software, offers a comprehensive solution for managing and transferring medical images. In this article, we will explore how to use the Osirix DICOM library to send DICOM files to Anubix, SNC_Gateway, and other destinations.

To begin, select Anubix, SNC_Gateway (and MAC if you scan for the MAC) from the list and click the Send button. From here, navigate to the 'Send to...' icon or go to 'Transfer -> Send to' on the menu bar. It is essential to ensure that you select the whole scan and not just a single image or series.

Once you have selected the desired scan, open up the Patient Browser on the 3T Siemens console and choose the scan you want to transfer. Next, launch OsiriX by clicking on the icon on the Dock or in the /Applications directory. The script will prompt you, if needed, to close all previously launched instances of OsiriX that might have been started by other users.

To ensure that your images transfer to your profile, open a terminal window by clicking on the icon on the Dock and press the up arrow for the last command of 'sudo killosirix' and click enter. Alternatively, you can simply type it in. Anubix is the transfer Mac Mini, and the external Hard Drive is 'DATA'.

Finally, login to your lab's account on Anubix to send your DICOM files. With OsiriX, sending DICOM files to Anubix, PACS, or DVDs has never been easier. By following these simple steps, you can efficiently transfer your medical images and streamline your workflow.

In summary, using the Osirix DICOM library is a powerful way to manage and transfer DICOM files. With its user-friendly interface and robust features, OsiriX makes it easy to send DICOM files to various destinations, including Anubix, SNC_Gateway, and more. Whether you are working in a hospital, clinic, or research institution, OsiriX is an essential tool for anyone who needs to transfer and manage medical images.
