Convert DCM to SIXEL
Convert DCM images to SIXEL format, edit and optimize images online and free.
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 SIXEL, or "six pixels", is a bitmap graphics format created by Digital Equipment Corporation (DEC) for their terminals and printers. Initially designed for DEC dot matrix printers like the LA50, it enabled the efficient transfer of bitmap graphics using a series of ASCII characters. Each character represents a 6-pixel high row, making it suitable for 7-bit serial communication. This format was later adapted for modern terminal emulators, extending its utility beyond its original scope.
