How to open ISQ file?

The main problem with MicroCT Image is that the ISQ file is incorrectly associated with programs. This is manifested by the fact that ISQ files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. This problem can be easily remedied.

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the ISQ file icon you want to open. If the operating system has an appropriate application to support it and there is also an association between the file and the program, the file should be opened.

Step 1. Install MicroCT

The first step is to check if the computer has the MicroCT program installed. To do this, enter the name MicroCT into the system search engine. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open ISQ files.

Programs to open ISQ file

Remember to download programs supporting ISQ files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.

Step 2. Create association of MicroCT with ISQ files

If, despite the installed application, the ISQ file does not start in the MicroCT application, you must create a file association. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. The window will show, among other things, the type of the file and the information by which the program is used to launch the file. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. The program should be visible in the window, otherwise it should be selected manually using the "Browse" button and the program installation directory should be indicated. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the ISQ file with the MicroCT program.

Step 3. Update MicroCT to the latest version

If, despite the association of the MicroCT program with the MicroCT Image file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the SCANCO Medical website and install the latest version.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the ISQ file

The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. The most common file problems are:

The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. Usually this applies to ISQ files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file ISQ or the program directory. Sometimes virus-infected ISQ files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the ISQ files changes over time. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing an older version of the program.
There can be many reasons for this. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair ISQ file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use SCANCO Medical help.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted ISQ files can be used by the device on which they were encrypted, on any other device it is required to have the appropriate cryptographic key and decrypt the file before its recovery.
Some of the system directories are excluded from modification. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. It is best to move ISQ to a different directory.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Just close unnecessary programs. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the ISQ file for a certain period of time. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
