*If the feature relies on the Roentgen RIS, it is noted for BRT View (BRIT Lite requires the use of Roentgen RIS). Roentgen RIS requires Java features on the PC. Version 7.3 is the last version of BRIT View. It will be replaced by PACSView. BRIT Lite 2.0 is the same application as PACSView, without the standalone DICOM features.
