For Windows users, I suggest IrfanView:<p><a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.irfanview.com&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.irfanview.com&#x2F;</a><p>It&#x27;s freeware (though not open source) and an excellent and fast image viewer. You&#x27;ll have to also download the plugins to view the Dicom images (the MRI images). Fortunately all plugins for IrfanView can be downloaded as a single file as explained at the site above.<p>As other have already mentioned, the MRI images are full of personal meta data (which can be shown by clicking &quot;info&quot; in IrfanView). I assume that the OP must have been aware of this.
