He began to develop an open-source software with radiologist Antoine Rosset, who had a research grant to study at UCLA at that time. of Medical Imaging and Information Sciences and Head of Nuclear Medicine Division at the University Hospital of Geneva, Switzerland, he explained that the idea to create OsiriX was born at UCLA in 2004, when he became annoyed that no known industry software could handle the huge amount of data produced by PET/CT scanners including 3-D dynamic images. When Meike Lerner, of European Hospital, spoke with one of its developers, Osman Ratib MD PhD FAHA, Professor and Chair of Radiology of the Dept. The OsiriX creators say it provides an intuitive and user-friendly user interface tailored for physicians who are not familiar with complex image processing and manipulation techniques. It also provides dynamic display for time-varying images such as cardiac motion or metabolic functional studies. The 64-bit programme can handle new generation imaging modalities combining anatomical and metabolic images (MRI, PET, CT, ultrasound, and angiographic images).
