Non-DICOM file support, including LSM, BioRadPIC, ANALYZE, TIFF, JPG, PNG, PDF, Quicktime, etc.In June 2005, the software was awarded "Best Use of Open Source" and runner-up for "Best Mac OS X Scientific Computing Solution" in the Apple Design Awards. A year later the group spun off a new company called Pixmeo to certify OsiriX as a FDA-approved PACS and provide commercial support for OsiriX and other open-source solutions. In March 2009, Rosset and his colleagues created the OsiriX Foundation to promote open-source software in Medicine. Shortly afterwards, on April 23, a stable version 1.0 of the software was released.

OsiriX started out in November 2003 as a UCLA grant project of Antoine Rosset dedicated to learning about imaging informatics and writing "a small software program to convert DICOM files to a QuickTime movie file." The project idea expanded to an open-source project, with a SourceForge project page being created on April 16, 2004.
