can anybody help me figure out how to view some medical image files? [View all]

I had an xray of my knee done today and I asked for copies. the guy handed me a cd/dvd and I have been trying for hours to view the images - actually I am not even sure where they are. here is what the disc seems to contain -




cache, image temp, and reports are empty. in viewer there is a file "launchcdviewer" and if I try to open that it starts loading images but then after a while nothing happens -





I can't remember right now but it seemed I could get that little "loading" icon pop up thingy when I tried to open some other things as well. it spins there for a while (and I can get multiple ones going) but then just disappears after a few minutes.

if I dig into that "DICOM" folder, it eventually goes to something that looks like the three images that were ordered (I reallly think this is what I am looking for) -



any ideas how or what to open these with? when I try to open one, it gives me a popup asking which program I want to try, nothing it offers works (paint, adobe, notepad, media player, photo viewer etc)
