In September 2021 I started having a difficult time walking because of a pinched nerve in my back. I went to the emergency room because it started hurting in my back and left side. A tight band developed from my back and wrapped around my waist. My legs became so stiff that I could hardly walk. The MRI showed multiple bulging discs in my lumbar spine. They said my left side pain was from me passing a gallstone and they recommend that I have my gallbladder removed. I went to an orthopedic doctor to see if he could help me with my legs because I was supposed to walk a lot after my gallbladder was removed. He took two X-Rays (below) and he couldn't understand why my legs were stiff.
Below is a side view of my lumbar spine and hip. The orthopedic doctor made me a copy of my X-Rays so I could take them to the neurologists and spine specialist.
The images below are some examples of DICOM images that I found online.

If you are a medical student, work in the medical field, or just someone with a curosity of looking at medical images, then I highly recommend that you give Aliza MS a try. You can look at some quick videos on YouTube to help you understand what the program is capable of doing.
