In fact, this combination is already in use at some hospitals around the world, and you can watch a video below of surgeons using an iPad with MRI images within OsiriX during an operation. My doctor happened to be using an older Windows tablet – remember those? – but I can see these apps and iPads taking the healthcare world by storm in the very near future. Considering how expensive everything else is in the American health care world, I was impressed to find out that these apps are offered for free for Mac, iPhone, and iPad. OsiriX delivered in a far more impressive manner than I expected, it is one of the most interesting applications I’ve ever used. I’m just a curious patient, not a medical professional, but after paying the equivalent of a brand new midrange MacBook Pro to get an MRI, I wanted to be able to view the resulting MRI DICOM images on my Mac when I got home. In my case, these DICOM files came from an MRI.
