SCT to HRZ conversion is the process of transforming an image file encoded in the SCT format (a specialized/scientific or vendor-specific scanned image container) into the HRZ image format, producing an output compatible with HRZ-supporting viewers and workflows. This conversion remaps SCT image data, metadata, color profiles, and compression into the HRZ schema while attempting to preserve visual fidelity and metadata where possible.
