- The DC3 file type is associated with the Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine (DICOM) standard, which is widely used for storing and transmitting medical imaging information. 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.
- A JPEG file is an image saved in a compressed graphic format standardized by the Joint Photographic Experts Group (JPEG). It supports up to 24-bit color and is compressed using lossy compression, which may noticeably reduce the image quality if high amounts of compression are used. JPEG files are commonly used for storing digital photos and web graphics.
