- 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.
- VIPS is a libvips file format mainly used for calculations, but it can also store images. The main advantage is that it has no size limit; it's fast and straightforward. Nonetheless, most applications can't view it, so converting it to a more popular format is the only way to work around it.
