- Description
- ACR is a file type associated with the Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine (DICOM) standard, which is used for storing, viewing, printing, and sharing medical images (such as x-rays, CT scans, and ultrasound images). ACR files are primarily used for storing medical images.
- This format is used to compress TIFF images when sending them via fax machines. This format helps reduce the data transmission time. Group 3 eliminates redundant data during compression in order to reduce file size. The standard 10:1 compression ratio may be increased to the user's preferences, but it can lead to a significant loss of image quality.
