About DCM (.DCM)
DCM files are Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine (DICOM) images used primarily for storing medical imaging information such as MRI, CT scans, and X-rays. These files ensure that medical images can be exchanged and viewed across different devices and software. The DICOM standard was developed in the 1980s to facilitate interoperability among medical imaging equipment.
Technical Details
Technically, DCM files consist of a header and image data encoded in a standardized format that supports various image types and data compression methods. The format uses a tag-based structure to store information, which allows for extensibility and customization while maintaining compatibility. DICOM files often use the .dcm extension, but the file format itself is defined by the DICOM standard published by the National Electrical Manufacturers Association (NEMA).
Additional Information & Use Cases
DCM files contain detailed metadata about the patient, imaging settings, and acquisition parameters, making them vital for accurate diagnosis and treatment planning. They are widely supported by specialized medical imaging software and some general image viewers. An interesting fact is that DICOM files can also include multiple images in a single file, allowing for complex imaging studies to be stored efficiently.
