Convert DCM images to VICAR 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 VICAR (Video Image Communication and Retrieval) file extension is a specialized raster image format developed by NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in 1966 to manage and process imaging data from unmanned planetary missions. It supports multi-dimensional scientific data, including spectroscopic, hyperspectral, and radar imagery, making it suitable for space exploration, biomedical imaging, and geological studies. The format includes metadata for data integrity and usability, and the software system is now open-source.
