Would the psych department be doing scans using medical
imaging?
I have CDs/DVDs of some scans made at local hospitals --
MRIs and I disremember what else -- which I haven't managed to
display with Fedora. They don't harm any machine I've tried them
on, just fail to display imagery.
Anyway, I asked on Novalug some months back. Before the
discussion got way beyond any savvy I'll ever have, I discovered
that there are now some (apparently very fancy) formats
specifically for medical imagery. I did not then hear of an app
that would "just work" for a home linux user; dunno what chance
any has appeared since. But the discussions might tell youss
guyss a lot more than they did me.
