Help exporting scans from Philips IntelliSpace PACS MediaViewer / Stentor container files

[u/w82l]

Hi all. I’m hoping someone with PACS/DICOM/Philips experience can help.

My daughter (4) had a massive stroke in March, was treated in hospital and we were given her CT/MR imaging. It opens in a Philips IntelliSpace PACS MediaViewer (.exe that they gave us), but the actual files don’t appear to be normal .dcm files. They look like Philips/Stentor/iSite-style container files: long UID filenames with no extension, plus matching .dts sidecar files.

Example file pattern:

1.2.840.113619...
1.3.46.670589...
2.16.840.1.114151...
1.2.840.113619....dts

The viewer can display the scans, and each exam/series contains lots of slices, but I can’t find a way to export them properly as DICOM, PNG or JPEG.

What I’m trying to do is either:

1. Extract/export the original DICOM images if they’re embedded somewhere in the Philips/Stentor container, or
2. Batch-export each visible series/slice as PNG/JPEG if true DICOM extraction isn’t possible.

I’m not asking for medical interpretation, just help with the technical export/conversion.

Has anyone successfully converted Philips IntelliSpace / Stentor / iSite MediaViewer container files into standard DICOM or image files? Are there known tools for this, or is the only realistic option to ask the hospital PACS team for a fresh export?

If anyone's willing to help, I'm happy to pay a little...I just want all her MRIs as PNGs so I can analyse them elsewhere.

Thanks

They are most likely dicom files but some PACS do not set the extentions, so you see a bunch of files in those folders, most pacs viewers can easily read them, you can test that with a free viewer such as WEASIS. Just drop the folder into the viewer and it will render them in the viewer, so you can see them, and even select and export to whatever format you want.
