DCM to PCX Conversion: FAQ
What are DCM files?
A DCM file is a DICOM image, which means it uses a specific standard for editing, storing and transferring images taken with medical equipment. The Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine (DICOM) standard facilitates the interchangeability of such images and can be integrated on scanners, servers, workstations and network hardware. DCM files are mostly used in hospitals or private medical practices which use medical equipment.
What are PCX files?
The PCX (Personal Computer Exchange) image file format is associated with PC Paintbrush, an image editing software initially designed for MS-DOS by ZSoft Corporation. At first, PCX files stored a limited range of colors but in time their range was extended to a 24-bit (true color) palette, and PC Paintbrush was adapted for Windows too. Though widely popular during the days of MS-DOS, the PCX format in time lost its appeal and was gradually replaced by formats such as JPEG and PNG.
