DICOM to PCX Conversion: FAQ
What are DICOM files?
DICOM (Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine) is a standard format used in the medical field for storing and transmitting medical images and related data. DICOM images can be in various formats, including CT scans, MRI scans, X-rays, and ultrasound images. DICOM images are designed to be compatible with medical equipment and software, and they contain metadata that describes the patient, imaging equipment, and other relevant information. This metadata allows medical professionals to access and analyze the images accurately and efficiently.
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.
