I need to convert a DCM image on my Mac. At present, it’s unaccessible. Tried Madena, no luck.
The image was generated with medical software, if that helps.
Daughter took a hip check in the delivery room on her way into the world and broke her collar bone – I’d like to have a look. Thanks.
Photoshop should be OK with it. I remember opening it once and its basically just TIF files with extra meta data.
Thanks for the suggestions. Tried both, neither’s working. The file appears to be communicating with the hospital’s database, or some damned thing. The image file itself is read as ‘corrupted’. Got it to open on my wife’s 10-year old beastly XP machine. Not on my Mini, not even when running Win 7 in Parallels.
If you can open it on an old XP machine, why not use gimp to convert it to something else?
gimp.org/
Might be able to. I couldn’t find any means of exporting the image once I did get it to open…not even a screenshot…so I took a photo of the screen. Bah. If I fail to figure anything out, I hand it off to a buddy more familiar with Windows and image progs.
At least I was able to view the file and see that, yes, wee Encore’s collar bone indeed ‘snapped like a twig’. Keeping her arm immobilized for a few weeks won’t be a big deal.
Thanks all.
Hello! Does anyone know how to convert a unix executable image to something I can view on my Mac?I got a cat scan recently and the images are all in unix executable format. They are titled as IM00001 and so on. Is there a way to convert them into jpeg or something I can open on my Mac OS 10.4?
thanks so much!

I work as an Art Director for a commercial printer using a Mac with OSX 10.4 and I have come across this situation many times. I have noticed that when OSX can’t determine what type a file it is, it makes it a UNIX executable file. Chances are that your image is already a JPEG file. So, just rename the file with a .jpg extension, on a PC, and then your computer should be able to open it. It always works for me, not with just JPEGs but many types of files, as long as you know or guess exactly what kind of file it is.
