Ratings and reviews

When I load multiple scans, I can only view up to 4. I can see the rest on the bottom with the stacked square icons, but I can't make them the focus so I can see it in detail. I tried everything to select them, long press, swipe, changing view settings. Just isn't working. And if I load it in again, it adds to the same 'study' so there doesn't seem to be a workaround. EDIT: Changed rating due to workaround being available by dragging the series to the visible cell. I'm not sure if this is a common pattern in medical image viewers, but I haven't been able to find any documentation in the app on this functionality. If it's there and buried, I would highly suggest making it more visible. If this were present I would rate 5 stars

I am not a medical professional, so I don't have inherent knowledge about how MRI systems work. There are no real instructions for how to bring in your images and set them up on the Viewer. After muddling around I did bring the whole Dicom folder from my MRI disc into my phone. I added a study and pointed to this folder. It did show as a study. However, it errored when I tried to open the MRI. Apparently these imports take a while to process. There is no progress indicator in the main part of the app. You have to go to the Transfers section to see that images are being processed. There is also no scroll bar on the Transfers so you have no idea how many there are to process, the progress of the processing or how long it will take. I am an ex software developer so these types of interface shortcomings (IMO) kind of disappoint me.

Love it. I used to use Osirix for iOS but they decided to make it subscription based even after making us buy that app at $50. So looked around to find an easy to use DICOM viewer for my mom's scans since she's been fighting cancer for over 5 years. I always like to keep all the scans on hand just in case I need to show a doctor quickly. IDV did a great job at loading my scans from ZIP files. Works great on the phone and tablet. Only thing that I had an issue with was that I ZIP up 4 years of scans which ended up being 2GB and that crashed the app when trying to import. That's at no fault of the developer. I just tried to be lazy in importing so much at the same time. Works totally fine when I make small batches of ZIP file. Keep up the awesome work!
