Recently,
while doing some research on producing video depositions, I came across
RealLegal‘s .ptx files. Those in the legal profession will recognize
this format is the method not a few court reporters use to deliver
deposition transcripts. This can present a challenge for Mac users
because the .ptx file is a proprietary encrypted file, only readable
with RealLegal’s software which is not well supported for the Mac.

It’s true that RealLegal offers free readers for both the PC and
Mac, but if you look at the fine print you’ll realize that the Mac
version is written to run in ‘classic’ mode. Classic mode is not
supported under OS 10.5 ‘Leopard’ or on any Intel Mac. In other words,
RealLegal isn’t really interested in continuing to support the Mac
market. If you have a PowerPC Mac running OSX.4 or prior, this solution
may work for you for now. If not, read on…

Since I was interested in producing synchronized video depositions,
I needed to find a way to easily access these files. Here are some of
my initial findings:

For producing synchronized video depositions, Clarity Legal Software
makes DepoSmart which it claims can read RealLegal e-Transcript XML
files. I haven’t tested it out yet, but it sounds promising. Clarity
also produces free cross platform viewer software. All Clarity’s is
available for either platform (and really supported by the look of it).

What if you just want to be able to read .ptx files on you mac? I use Codeweaver’s Crossover software
to run a PC only program that I need to use. Crossover is a commercial
application of the opensource Wine project, which is dedicated to
running Windows application on Intel chips without the need for Windows. If you have an Intel Mac this is your ticket. Crossover is available as a free 30-day trial version.

I found that the PC version of RealLegal’s free reader ran
perfectly well in Crossover. If you want to give Crossover a try,
here’s some details on how I set it up that should save you some time:
After installing Crossover for Mac and running it, click on the ‘manage
bottles’ link and create a new Windows 2000 ‘bottle’. When Crossover is
done setting up the bottle, click on the applications button and then
the install software button. Choose the ‘install unsupported software’
option – don’t panic, this just means it’s not on the limited list of
tested software – not surprising since there isn’t a big market for it
outside of the legal profession. Navigate to the envsetup.exe file you
downloaded from the RealLegal site
and choose it. Follow the installation directions. When it’s done you
should get a finder window with the viewer’s program icon. Open the
viewer application and use it like you would any other app.

What if you want to convert your transcript into a universal format
that anyone can read, like a potential expert witness? Select the
entire transcript (I found I needed to click and drag the whole
document to do this – see what I mean about junky proprietary
software?). Remember that it thinks it is running under windows, so the
copy command is Control-C instead of the Mac’s Command-C (Pasting on
the Mac side is still Command-V). Next I opened Pages [Apple’s word
processor] and pasted the text in. From there choose File>Print and
choose the ‘Save as PDF’ option and you’ll have a cross-platform
shareable PDF. [Note: other word processors, such as Word for Mac or
even TextEdit may work for this, but I haven’t tested them.]

If you own Adobe Acrobat Professional, you can take this a step
further. [Note: I found I couldn’t paste a transcript of 20 or more
pages directly into a blank Acrobat PDF. My test file was 50 pages
long. So I used Pages to create the initial PDF file, then opened it in
Acrobat to index it.] Acrobat will allow you to index the file so you
can search it for any word and quickly locate each usage. Open your PDf
in Acrobat and choose Advanced>Document Processing>Manage
Embedded Index. Click the ‘Embed Index’ button and Acrobat will index
the entire document. The nice thing about this is that the index can be
searched by anyone with the latest free Adobe Acrobat reader software.
Adobe by the way has a very good track record at maintaining cross
platform compatibility.

I hope this helps you if you’ve found yourself in the same boat. I’d
love to hear some feedback on these workarounds or other ideas if you
have them. Let me know of your experience with this issue.

MacAn introduction to the DICOM single-file format

Ptx Viewer Mac Free Trial

The Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine (DICOM) standard was created by the National Electrical Manufacturers Association (NEMA) to aid the distribution and viewing of medical images, such as CT scans, MRIs, and ultrasound. Part 10 of the standard describes a file format for the distribution of images. This format is an extension of the older NEMA standard. Most people refer to image files which are compliant with Part 10 of the DICOM standard as DICOM format files. A complete copy of the standard (in PDF format) is avaiable for download (drafts of the standard are organized by year).

A single DICOM file contains both a header (which stores information about the patient's name, the type of scan, image dimensions, etc), as well as all of the image data (which can contain information in three dimensions). This is different from the popular Analyze format, which stores the image data in one file (*.img) and the header data in another file (*.hdr). Another difference between DICOM and Analyze is that the DICOM image data can be compressed (encapsulated) to reduce the image size. Files can be compressed using lossy or lossless variants of the JPEG format, as well as a lossless Run-Length Encoding format (which is identical to the packed-bits compression found in some TIFF format images).

DICOM is the most common standard for receiving scans from a hospital. Neuroimagers and neuropsychologists who wish to use SPM to normalize scans to stereotaxic space will need to convert these files to Analyze format. My freeware MRIcro software will directly convert most DICOM images to and from Analyze format. Eric Nolf's freeMedcon and XMedconsoftware can also convert between Analyze and DICOM.
