FAQ
IMA to MIF Conversion
What are IMA files?
The Siemens IMA file format is a proprietary variant of the DICOM standard used by Siemens medical imaging systems, primarily for storing CT and MRI scan data along with patient information and acquisition parameters. While structurally based on DICOM, .IMA files often require specialized software or conversion tools for use outside Siemens equipment, as some viewers may not recognize the extension despite its DICOM-compatible internals.
What are MIF files?
MIF is the file with the shapes in MapInfo's interchange format, which stores map data as a pair of text files. In the .mif file are the points, lines, and areas of a map layer, written as readable text with their coordinates, colors, and line styles, while the attributes of these objects, such as names and numbers, are kept in the partner .mid file. MapInfo is a desktop GIS program widely used in business, telecommunications, and local government, and the MIF and MID pair is its open way of passing data to and from other programs, since it can be read and edited in any text editor. A MIF file needs its MID file with the same name to be complete.
