- Description
- A DICOM image whose pixel data is compressed with JPEG 2000, used for CT, MRI, X-ray and other medical scans; many viewers that read plain DICOM cannot decode it.
- A DDS file is a raster image saved in the DirectDraw Surface (DDS) container format. It can store compressed and uncompressed pixel formats and is often used for texturing video game unit models. DDS files may also be used to store Windows desktop backgrounds or wallpapers.
