This help file explains how to use the application.
This application allows you to view DICOM images. Please make
sure you have read the license text in the "About" dialog.
The application automatically starts when you
enter a CD-ROM with the software embedded.
Please note that your operating system may have disabled this feature. In this
case you can run the "<your CD-drive>:\autorun.exe" directly from the
CD-ROM.
