To start the CD Viewer software you will need to first locate the sent data sets, either sent by CD/DVD, USB drive, or download depending on transport method.

• If CD/DVD was sent; simply insert into the CD/DVD into the CD/DVD drive of the pc. If an auto play window appears simply click the Run for the Simple Viewer Launcher, and skip to Choosing Viewer Type section below.
• In some cases, depending on how your auto play is setup in your PC; you might be prompted to open the disk to view the files instead as shown below.

Note: Increased system requirements exist as noted on the viewer select screen. Minimum Graphics Processing Unit or “GPU” or graphics card required, is the NVIDIA GeForce GT 720 or higher to use the next generation viewer. Use this when higher performance systems meeting the specifications are in use and when there are projects being included by the sending site.

If GPU does meet the requirement, the software will open the Ez3D-i Simple Viewer Original.

If GPU does not meet the requirement use the Simple Viewer Lite instead.

Opening the Simple Viewer Lite – will open a lighter version that does not require as high of a performance system; however it is limited to only displaying and viewing the dicom. Any previous case work up sent by the originating office will not work with Simple Viewer Lite.
