Madena is a medical image viewer and image processing program. Madena can open all QuickTime compatible image file formats as well as most Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine (DICOM) and ACR/NEMA file formats.

With Madena images can also be printed and exported to many common graphics file formats as well as to DICOM and ANALYZE format.

Here are some key features of "Madena":
Madena is a powerful medical image processing and viewing utility.
Madena opens all QuickTime supported graphics file formats as well as 8-bit, 16-bit, compressed and color DICOM, ACR/NEMA and TIFF 16-bit formats. Multiplanar DICOM CT and MRI images may be opened, subdivided by study, series, and folder, and sorted by X,Y or Z coordinate.
Orthogonal reconstructions are available.
Multiple frame DICOM ultrasound files and cardiac radiography movies can be viewed and converted to QuickTime .mov files. Both color and monochrome (gray scale) medical images can be enhanced, tinted, colorized, scaled, rotated, animated, calibrated, distances and profiles measured, translucently fused together (e.g. CT and MRI fusion), regions and volumes of interest measured and various statistics calculated.
Images can also be printed and exported to many common graphics file formats as well as to DICOM and ANALYZE format.
DICOM files can be anonymized individually or in bulk.
What's New:
Added an arc measuring & region generating tool

Page up & page down keys can now advance image selection across series boundries.
