18. Some discs actually include a player program right on the disc.

I have seen that many many times.

It is usually produced by the manufacturer of the imaging equipment, i.e Siemens.

Actually now that I enlarged your screen grab, and looked at the file structure, it looks like there is a viewer on the disc.

The autorun file should start the program, you could tried clicking on that. Some newer version of Windows are funny about autoruns.

You could also look in the folder called "viewer", there should be an .exe file that is actually the player.

Might be worth a look, the players are usually pretty good, and have convenient viewing options if there are multiple files in the scan.
