Convert DCM to FF

DCM, short for Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine, is a file extension used for medical imaging data. Originating from the DICOM standard developed by the National Electrical Manufacturers Association in collaboration with the American College of Radiology in the 1980s, it facilitates the storage, transmission, and management of medical images and related information across various devices. Its uses span hospitals and clinics, where it integrates imaging modalities like MRI, CT scans, and X-rays, ensuring interoperability and enhancing diagnostic accuracy and efficiency.

The Farbfeld (FF) file extension stands for "Farbfeld Lossless Image", a format designed for simplicity and efficiency in parsing and piping image data. Introduced by the Suckless community, Farbfeld stores images in a straightforward, uncompressed format, making it ideal for use with external compression algorithms. This format uses 32-bit RGBA values for each pixel, ensuring lossless quality. Its history traces back to the need for a minimalistic, easily manageable image format that avoids the complexity of integrated compression found in formats like PNG.
