In most industry nations the use of software for medical purposes in patients, in diagnosis, therapy or surgery is considered as a Medical device. OsiriX Lite supports a complete plug-ins architecture that allows you to expand the capabilities of OsiriX Lite for your personal needs! This plug-in architecture gives you access to the powerful Cocoa framework with an easy object-oriented and dynamic language: Objective-C. OsiriX Lite is at the same time a DICOM PACS workstation for medical imaging and an image processing software for medical research (radiology and nuclear imaging), functional imaging, 3D imaging, confocal microscopy and molecular imaging. OsiriX MD, the commercial version, is certified for medical use (FDA cleared and CE II labeled). OsiriX Lite supports 64-bit computing and multithreading for the best performances on the most modern processors. It offers advanced post-processing techniques in 2D and 3D, exclusive innovative technique for 3D and 4D navigation and a complete integration with any PACS.

It fully supports the DICOM standard for an easy integration in your workflow environment and an open platform for development of processing tools.

It is the result of more than 10 years of research and development in digital imaging. With high performance and an intuitive interactive user interface, OsiriX Lite is the most widely used DICOM viewer in the world. All these modes support 4D data and are able to produce image fusion between two different series (for example: PET-CT). The 3D Viewer offers all modern rendering modes: Multiplanar reconstruction (MPR), Surface Rendering, Volume Rendering and Maximum Intensity Projection (MIP). OsiriX Lite has been specifically designed for navigation and visualization of multimodality and multidimensional images: 2D Viewer, 3D Viewer, 4D Viewer (3D series with temporal dimension, for example: Cardiac-CT) and 5D Viewer (3D series with temporal and functional dimensions, for example: Cardiac-PET-CT). OsiriX Lite is able to receive images transferred by DICOM communication protocol from any PACS or medical imaging modality (STORE SCP - Service Class Provider, STORE SCU - Service Class User, and Query/Retrieve). It is fully compliant with the DICOM standard for image comunication and image file formats.

It can also read many other file formats: TIFF (8,16, 32 bits), JPEG, PDF, AVI, MPEG and Quicktime. ) and confocal microscopy (LSM and BioRAD-PIC format). OsiriX Lite is an image processing software dedicated to DICOM images ('.dcm' / '.DCM' extension) produced by medical equipment (MRI, CT, PET, PET-CT.
