Dang this sucks, I had all the files from my brain MRI when I got Dengue Fever but my laptop recently got stolen out of my car and the CD they gave it to me on was in it. This would have been fun to mess with. The MRI facility is in another country so not sure how easy it would be to get them to send me the data again (although they should I gave them 3k dollars).
- throwup238 2y agoJust ask them. I don’t know which country it’s in but they may be legally obligated to send it to you (maybe for a modest fee), regardless of which country you’re from. They usually are in developed countries but YMMV everywhere else.
- gorkish 2y agoEvery country is different but I'd be surprised if they don't still have it. The irony is they will probably still have to burn it on a CD and mail it to you. Good old DICOM!
- TechDebtDevin 2y agoYeah I'm going to try and get it now. That sucks though, because that laptop was the last device I had that had a cd drive! Maybe an excuse to finally get one of those modded vintage Thinkpads with modern mobo/cpu.
- robotnikman 2y agoThere's always USB CD/DVD drives you can use, or I've even seen external USB enclosures for Desktop and Laptop CD/DVD drive form factors which you can just shove one into.
- foobarian 2y agoIronically an external USB DVD reader will probably be cheaper than getting your hands on that CD...
- jonnycomputer 2y agoAlmost certainly you can probably get it from them again.
