VICAR files: Frequently Asked Questions
What are VICAR files?
VICAR and VIC (Video Image Communication Retrieval) are two bitmap formats originally created by NASA for storing images captured during space missions. The two extensions were launched in the 1960s and later on they were also used for various other applications, including biomedical imaging, earth resources and geology. Both formats are considered highly specialized and archaic, so opening them using regular image viewers is probably difficult.
