DICOM to PNG Conversion
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 PNG files?
The PNG (Portable Network Graphics) file format was designed in the mid-1990s as an improved alternative to the previously existing JPG and GIF formats, and as an extension which would be particularly web-friendly. In time, PNG files have gained a wide popularity and are highly appreciated at the moment for their ability to provide a lossless compression of images, which translates in high-quality and detailed renderings.
