    Actually, last time I had such an injury, I copied the files from the DVD to my phone and just showed all the doctors exactly that... x-rays and CAT scans on my phone, all using free apps. Similar viewers exist for Mac and Windows too. It works fine and the image format is a lot more powerful than JPEG, letting you scan between depths (or reconstruct a 3D model from individual slices), etc.

    DICOM Web Viewer: open source zero footprint medical image library.

    Web viewers exist too: https://ivmartel.github.io/dwv/

    Not to say it's great UX, but it's really not that hard to solve compared to the rest of the mess of the medical industry.

    It's a bureaucratic nightmare thing, not a software challenge.
