I work/live/sleep/eat/breathe in the DICOM CD world.
Your CD should have come with an embedded viewer so that you can see the contents of yourCD. The beauty of DICOM is that it is supposed to be portable and anyone, anywhere in the world can view your CD.
If your CD didn't come with an embedded viewer included, your doc's office messed up. And they are not in compliance with DICOM's portability standard. You should be able to open up your own CD, even at home. Good luck!
There was a Windows application on the CD. I was not able to run it standalone under WinXP, nor install it. The orthopedist did use the app on the CD to look at the images this morning, so the problem is almost certainly that my WinXP installation is screwed up in some way that interferes with this software.
Either that, or it's got a design flaw that makes it have to run Only From A CD, and the problem is that my XP machine doesn't have a CD drive so I copied the files over to the hard disk from a computer that does have a CD drive.
