FAQ
GMT to DCM Conversion
What are GMT files?
GMT is a text format for map vector data used by the Generic Mapping Tools, a widely used open-source collection of programs for drawing scientific maps and graphs, developed by Paul Wessel and Walter Smith. In its simplest form, a file is just a list of coordinates of points or lines, with a line starting with the character > marking the start of each new line. In the newer form, the file also carries a header written in comments, which names the type of shapes, the extent, the coordinate system, and the attributes of each feature, such as a name or a depth, so that points, lines, or polygons with their attributes can be kept in one file without a separate table. This version was introduced to improve exchange with other GIS programs.
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.
