It encompasses a range of image types, including X-rays, MRIs, and CT scans, supporting the integration of medical imaging data across various devices and systems. DC3 files contain the image data along with patient information and details about the imaging process, ensuring a comprehensive dataset for medical diagnosis and treatment planning. This format plays a crucial role in healthcare by facilitating the easy exchange and accessibility of medical images within and between medical facilities.
