  • Top 5 DICOM Viewers
    2. Horos - platforms: MacOS, top 1 if you use macOS. The same user-friendly interface and very rich toolset (multiplanar reconstruction, maximum intensity projections, volume rendering. It also has tools for manipulating images and making measurements). The Horos project is named after Horus, a deity in ancient Egyptian mythology, son of Isis and Osiris (which is a reference to the name OsiriX, on which Horos is... Source: over 1 year ago
  • Lots of comments (here/elsewhere) mentioning CCW. Just had a new ceph taken. CBCT scan indicated narrow airway (<5 mm). Any casual thoughts before surgical consult next week?
    Seems a little small for a CBCT... Yeah I would ask for the raw DICOM files. Should be able to open that on Mac using Horos. https://horosproject.org/. Source: almost 2 years ago

  • Text Fringing? looks bad on the new Samsung OLED G9...
    Download Mactype. If you download the beta version (warning: it will trip windows defender) you can use one of the QD-OLED profiles, if you download the last stable version (has an installer and will not trip Windows defneder), use a grayscale rendered font like this one. It doesn't work on chromium browsers though so you're gonna have to use Firefox if you want it to be on your browser. Source: 12 months ago
  • [HUB] One YEAR Using The Alienware AW3423DW QD-OLED - My Thoughts
    Already supported in WPF and DirectWrite. AFAIK DirectWrite by default only uses y-axis at large font sizes. I think MacType enables it system-wide. Source: about 1 year ago

    Step 2: Install it from the MacType homepage, it is an open-source project so it seems safe to me. I recommend installing it in "Load with MacTray" -> "Standalone Mode". Source: about 1 year ago
  • Recently got Windows 11, is there a way to fix this? The squished font looks terrible.
