Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine (.dicom)

DICOM, or Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine, is a standardized file format used in the field of medical imaging. It facilitates the storage, exchange, and transmission of medical images and related information between devices from different manufacturers, ensuring interoperability in healthcare environments. Originating from efforts by the National Electrical Manufacturers Association (NEMA) and the American College of Radiology (ACR) in the 1980s, DICOM's evolution has played a crucial role in the development of advanced medical imaging technologies and systems.

DEC Six Pixels (.six)

The SIX file extension, short for "six pixels", is a bitmap graphics format developed by Digital Equipment Corporation (DEC) for their terminals and printers. Introduced initially to send bitmap graphics to DEC dot matrix printers like the LA50, SIX later facilitated the transfer of soft fonts to terminals such as the VT220. This format encodes images using a series of six-pixel-high patterns, making it efficient for transmitting graphics over 7-bit serial links. Rediscovered around 2010, SIX remains in use with modern terminal emulators for tasks like video playback.
