OsiriX is an advanced DICOM Medical Imaging Software used in patient care and health research that uses Open Source architecture. It conforms to medical standard DICOM 3.0. It is used as multimodality and multi-dimensional DICOM Viewer and PACS workstation.

It is released under a free software license. OsiriX is a unique software that functions as a viewing application workstation, reconstruction of data to be multi-dimensional (3D, 4D, 5D), limited server capabilities for storage and distribution, web server and transferring images from Hospital A to Hospital B through internet cloud.

According to AMDI, the achievement is attributed the International Conference on Open Source Software in Healthcare (INCOSSH) organized in November 2008 where a Memorandum of Understanding was signed to share expertise in ICT in healthcare among the ASEAN countries.
