Re: Woes with DICOM, Sequoia and clips.

Showcase is basic software for viewing DICOM media whether it's an M.O.
disk, CD-ROM, Floppy, or Hard-disk. You can send DICOM images and
videoclips from the Sequoia to a local PC hard-disk and use Showcase to
view them. Luckily, in our lab we have both a direct link and access to
an M.O. drive, which adds a lot of flexibility.
Yours,
Martin.
