It is often necessary for radiologists to use digital images in presentations and conferences. Most imaging modalities produce images in the Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine (DICOM) format. The image files tend to be large and thus cannot be directly imported into most presentation software, such as Microsoft PowerPoint; the large files also consume storage space. There are many free programs that allow viewing and processing of these files on a personal computer, including conversion to more common file formats such as the Joint Photographic Experts Group (JPEG) format. Free DICOM image viewing and processing software for computers running on the Microsoft Windows operating system has already been evaluated. However, many people use the Macintosh (Apple Computer) platform, and a number of programs are available for these users. The World Wide Web was searched for free DICOM image viewing or processing software that was designed for the Macintosh platform or is written in Java and is therefore platform independent. The features of these programs and their usability were evaluated. There are many free programs for the Macintosh platform that enable viewing and processing of DICOM images.
放射科医生在演示文稿和会议中经常需要使用数字图像。大多数成像方式产生的图像为医学数字成像和通信（DICOM）格式。图像文件往往很大，因此无法直接导入大多数演示软件，如Microsoft PowerPoint；大文件还会占用存储空间。有许多免费程序可让个人计算机上查看和处理这些文件，包括转换为更常见的文件格式，如联合图像专家组（JPEG）格式。已经对运行Microsoft Windows操作系统的计算机的免费DICOM图像查看和处理软件进行了评估。然而，许多人使用Macintosh（苹果电脑）平台，并且有一些程序可供这些用户使用。在万维网上搜索了为Macintosh平台设计或用Java编写因此独立于平台的免费DICOM图像查看或处理软件。对这些程序的功能及其可用性进行了评估。有许多适用于Macintosh平台的免费程序可实现DICOM图像的查看和处理。
