Technical note

Before you convert DC3 to HPG

DC3 is made of pixels and HPG stores geometry, so the conversion traces the image into real lines, arcs and polylines. The result is editable in CAD: entities can be selected, snapped to and measured, rather than a bitmap wrapped inside a HPG container, which is what a viewer or a lightweight converter usually produces. It is still derived geometry, so expect contours rather than a structured drawing. Dimensions, blocks and meaningful layer names were never in the DC3 to begin with. How good the result is depends almost entirely on the DC3 going in. Clean line art, a logo or a drawing scanned at 300 dpi or more traces into geometry you can work with. A photograph does not: continuous tone has no contours to follow, so tracing it produces thousands of tiny shapes and a file nobody can edit. Scan or export at the highest resolution available, and prefer a lossless original, because compression artefacts along an edge become ripples in the traced path.

Smart Workflow

Do more with your DICOM files

Converting DC3 files for easier viewing/sharing? reaConverter offers many additional ways to process DICOM images, so you can customize them according to your requirements.

Our range of editing options includes such image processing actions as Adjust Brightness/Contrast for better clarity, Rotate, Crop, Watermarks to stamp resulted images with DICOM Metadata such as Patient Name, Birthday, Acquisition time and more.

Additionally, opting not to copy metadata ensures that patient information is excluded from the output, helping to protect sensitive data and keep the image anonymous.
