Steps shown in the video
- Recognize the index. DICOMDIR lists the image files by patient, study and series. It does not contain the images themselves.
- Copy the images too. Keep the entire disc folder together. Transfer it to Files through iCloud Drive, Google Drive or a ZIP.
- Import the folder. In Ossidex, tap + and choose the folder containing DICOMDIR and the images. The app reads the index and groups the studies.
- Open a series. Scroll the slices, use measurements and switch to MPR or a 3D volume.
