Automatically check for updates at startup time

Clicking this box causes OsiriX to check for a new version of itself automatically each time the program is run.

Transition effect when changing series

When this box is clicked, OsiriX will add a zippy little transition effect when moving from one series to the next. Current choices are:

1. Twirl
2. Zoom
3. Fade
4. Random (any of the above, when you least expect them)

Always use DCMTK to read JPEG DICOMs

Retro sound effect reminiscent of the good (?) old Tagarno-like cine film projectors.

Hide "Patient Name" in the Database Window

This option is useful for maintaining patient confidentiality when doing presentations.
