FAQ
FEATHER to DCM Conversion
What are FEATHER files?
FEATHER is a fast, portable file format for tables of data, created in 2016 by Wes McKinney and Hadley Wickham so that data frames could be passed quickly between Python and R, two languages widely used in data analysis. Today the main version of Feather is simply the Apache Arrow file format, saved to disk, with optional compression that makes files smaller without slowing down reading. A table is stored column by column, which suits analysis of large data sets. When a column holds geometries such as points, lines, or polygons, the file follows the GeoArrow specification and carries their coordinate system. The Arrow project now recommends the .arrow extension for such files, but .feather is still very common.
What are DCM files?
A DCM file is a DICOM file, meaning it follows the Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine (DICOM) standard for storing, transmitting, and managing medical imaging data. This standard ensures interoperability between medical imaging equipment and software, allowing images to be shared across scanners, servers, workstations, and network systems. DCM files are most commonly used in hospitals, clinics, and private medical practices that rely on medical imaging equipment such as CT, MRI, and ultrasound devices.
