How to view DICOM images

Hi

UBUNTU_CODENAME=focalI have just received some MRI/X-ray images which are in DICOM format. It came in a zip file with a directory format that looks like:
Code:$ ls -1
Autorun.inf
gplv2+ce.txt
IMAGES
jre
Licence.txt
NT209027297.zip
Readme.txt
viewer-mac.pdf
viewer-windows.exe
weasisAs you can see there are viewers provided for MAC and Windows, but not linux.
After some searches I installed amide, which I think should allow me to view them, but I have no idea how to use it to view existing images.
Does anyone know how I can view DICOM images using Amide ? I have tried to import what I think is an image file, but it just seg faults.
Alternatively the Readme.txt file mentions weasis and there is a weasis directory that came with the .zip. It looks like this:
Code:$ ls -1
bundle
bundle-i18n
conf
felix.jar
felix.jar.pack.gz
resources
substance.jar
substance.jar.pack.gz
weasis-launcher.jar
weasis-launcher.jar.pack.gzPresumably somewhere in there there is a means of installing and running weasis, which would allow me to view the images.
Would anyone know where I can find out what I would need to do to go about doing that ?
