TinaIf the files are xray images in a standard format (DICOM), they will
open in Photoshop Extended. There are also a variety of freeware/shareware
readers (or at least there used to be) for the Mac and PC. Finally, most
software that burns xrays to CD usually includes a stand-alone file reader
 on the CD. It may or may not require installation on your computer. Just
look for the reader and double click on it. I get xrays on CD from all over
the world ( I supervise  the state TB clinic in a university town and have
to see chest xrays)  and they all seem to comply with our standards.
