Opening .cda

I have had an X-ray of my chest taken and would like to view it. They have given it to me on a CD that seems to be empty apart from some .cda track/file/something that I cannot open. Internet search yielded no solutions - any ideas as to how to open it?

 

I had an MRI and it included a viewer. The simplest answer I can think of is call the place that gave to you. And as I thought cda is an audio format. I think you must be well confused or can you input more?

 

It was a .cda file/track/something for sure - I checked and rechecked it and when I searched on the internet, all I found was information about audio, just as you mention.

On second thoughts, I am guessing that my CD drive simply has trouble reading the CD, because now it doesn't show even the .cda thing and when I insert the CD, it identifies it as an empty CD and asks me if I want to burn it! If I click on properties while 'exploring' the empty CD, it shows 'used space 0' and 'available space 0'. That's just weird. It might be my CD-drive - it has not been particularly great at reading burnt CDs in the past either.

 

The Drive reading 0 used 0 available says to me your drive might be having trouble with the disk. I have had that problem in the past. Also they could of burned a bad disk.

I really think as I said you need to call the doctor/medical services they will know file format and all that. I suspect you really want to see and is important to you. As my MRI was to me. Even though honestly I could neither make heads nor tails.

We can guess all night not worth either of our time. Call the X-ray place.

And I hope all is well for you as chest X-Rays are not a normal part of a physical.

 

It was a problem with my drive. I can view it successfully on another computer. I am also happy to report that everything seems to be fine with me. I hope your MRI scan also bore good news rather than bad.
