But to Query & Retrieve a DICOM node, you also have to add the parameters of your OsiriX DICOM workstation on the DICOM nodes list of the PACS (AETitle, IP Address and Port Number). To Query a DICOM node, you have to add his parameters in the Locations View of the Preferences. Buying it helps to support this open-source project, and can make it much easier to navigate the details of setup. There is an excellent user guide for $49. It can receive data from the scanner with the same settings that were used for Osirix (and described below). If you have been using Osirix, and getting tired of the nagging, Horos can detect and import your Osirix Database of images. Horos can be used to view and revise the information in the Dicom header, so you can use it to deidentify Dicoms. You can also write to a USB key if you prefer that to a CD. Horos can read and write clinical CDs (useful for incidental findings). Once it is working, Scott or Heidi can send data from the scanner directly to your machine without the need for USB drives or DVDs. Security on your machine or in your building may block your access. Most of the setup involves getting the network settings right.

For this, you need a static IP address (so, probably not your laptop). Horos can receive Dicom data transfers directly from MR4 or other Horos and Osirix machines (i.e., it is a Dicom listener).

Horos is a free mature graphical Mac tool for viewing and transferring Dicom files.
