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 (.sixel)

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.
