The .dcm extension files are raster image format files that are universally used by the medical community for creating and storing body scans of patients. This format was developed by NEMA (National Electrical Manufacturers Association) and is primarily associated with the DICOM (Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine) image format files.
The Picture Exchange file format, shortened PCX, with the .pcx filename extension is an image file format developed by ZSoft Corporation. It was initially released in 1985 as a lossless bitmap image format and for a time was the default file format for PC paintbrush. The format is now largely superseded by other formats given the target platforms for the software associated with the format are no longer in production, i.e. MS DOS and Windows 1.0.
FreeFileConvert uses tuned encoding for DCM to PCX conversions, preserving clarity while trimming file size. Finished audio streams instantly across phones, tablets, desktops, and modern browsers without extra tweaks.
Upload DCM files from desktop, tablet, or cloud storage, queue multiple jobs, and let the converter finish autonomously. Return whenever convenient to download synchronized PCX results on any device you rely on.
Process up to 5 files sized 1000 MB per batch without splitting queues manually. Mixed-format uploads convert together, producing consistent PCX audio with dependable progress tracking.
A .dcm extension file is associated with the DICOM format which consists of standard specifications to store, distribute and analyze images related to the medical field. It works as a communication protocol to store information like the name, contact information, personal details and the medical history of the patient in combination with the scanned images so that the patient's details can be linked to the image for future reference.
Later iterations of the format supported 24bit color palette, upgrading from the original 2 to 4 colors. Byte ordering used by the format is little endian ordering with three blocks; a 128 byte header, image data and an optional 256 color palette. Image data is stored in an orthoganal arrangement of scan lines ordered from the top to the bottom. Files can eiher be compressed using the simple RLE (Run Length Encoding) algorithm or uncompressed.
