DICOM images are normally generated and provided on a CD when you have MRIs or CT scans performed and sometimes for X-rays. What makes Onis so special? Well, if you have an MRI of your spine, axial (horizontal) and sagittal (vertical) slices (images) will be taken. With Onis viewer, you can open a set of sagittal images in one window and a set of axial images in another window. When you do that, a slice line appears enabling you to know what you&rsquo;re specifically looking at. <a href="https://chirogeek.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Dr. Doug Gillard</a> did a <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hwfYR50F-kE" target="_blank" rel="noopener">video</a> about using Onis 2.5 Free Edition to read MRIs and explains it much better than can be explained in text.</p>
