Opening a .crio file?
 

I was at the dentist and he took some x-ray piccies. I asked him to mail them to me which he did and I was naively thinking I could just open them using some Windows standard application like opening a .jpg pic.

But no joy and I just wondered if there was a simple solution? They are marked as .crio files but that means nothing to me.

It's no big deal but I wanted Mrs L (retired dentist) to see the pictures so she could tell me what they show.

Comments invited.

don't know, google didn't produce anything meaningful, sorry

Save a copy. . .

Try renaming it to .jpg, .pdf, .ai, .tif and see if it works.

Sometimes if you open it in notepad (context is better) you can get some hints in the first couple or last few lines.

OK, thanks for looking. I had tried Google but got a headache trying to understand comments :)

Oh well it was just a thought. Ho hum.

Thanks but didn't let me save it with another extension. Opened using Notepad which revealed: -
DICM UL ² OB UI 1.2.840.10008.5.1.4.1.1.1 UI( 1.2.250.1.90.3.1224100237.1359112789.141 UI 1.2.840.10008.1.2.4.70 UI 1.2.250.1.90.50.1.9.15.0 SH TW_6_12_23_0 CS

Best give up I reckon :)

This header looks very much like a DICOM one. Wich makes sense, since DICOM is often used in medical applications (DICOM = Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine). You could try to open it with one of the free viewers that are available on the net e.g. MicroDicom.

On the email he sent you, did he not include the link to the page hosting it?
I know a few girls over here that had dental/medical work and the doctor emailed a link which actually opened the file on the webpage.
