Windows Scripts

I. PowerShell - Mounting and Dismounting an ISO Image

Purpose: creating a Virtual Drive from an ISO Image

Utility:

• you receive physical copies (CDs/DVDs), from the hospital, containing X-Ray (Radiography) software and imagery
• one of the devices (PC/laptop) that you/your doctor need(s) to use does not have an ODD (optical disc drive)
• you or the doctor need to check the imagery
• the imagery software only works while in a non-rewrittable environment

Instructions:

1. request from the hospital a copy of the files / gain access to a device that has an optical disc drive, insert the CD/DVD and copy the entire content to a new folder, on a USB stick (for example)
2. use a free software like PowerISO (https://www.poweriso.com/download.htm) in order to create an ISO image from the new folder utilized in the previous step (ISO filename: "rad")
3. download the script from here Mount_ISO.ps1 (right-click and choose "Save link as...")
4. copy/move the script to the same directory that contains the created ISO image
5. execute the script by right-clicking on it and choosing "Run with PowerShell"
6. open Windows Explorer and go to This PC - alongside the Local Disk(s), a virtual drive will be shown
7. double-click on it and review the imagery

*Workaround for step 5 - if the script is not executing - follow these steps:

• right-click on it and choose Properties
• at the bottom, check the Unblock box
• click Apply and then OK
• attempt to execute the script again, by right-clicking on it and choosing "Run with PowerShell"

**Workaround for step 7 - if a folder is shown - follow these steps:

• double-click on the folder
• locate an executable file (.exe file extension), like "DicomViewer.exe"
• double-click on it and review the imagery

Instructions - only for dismounting:

1. open Windows Explorer and go to This PC - alongside the Local Disk(s), a virtual drive will be shown
2. right-click on it and choose Eject
