I got an MRI and they’ve given me a copy on a CD. Where can I go to transfer it to a USB or an email-able format? Is there libraries or something that I could use? Conbini???
Thanks.
The MRI is probably stored on some type of DICOM (Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine) format which means in order to view it, you need medical imaging software that can read it such as:
I don’t know how large your MRI DICOM files are but they could be anywhere from 0.5 GB to 30 GB.
Even if you were able to transfer that data onto another storage device or into a Cloud account, you still need a PC or laptop with DICOM-readable software, I think.
Internet Café?
Have you tried putting it in a PS5?
The files are too big to attach to an email.
Ask where you got the scan for a digital copy … they may provide a link to the file or put it on a thumb drive.
Bite the bullet and buy an optical drive. Usually like 2000 yen on Amazon. Rip to your PC.
