- Description
- A DCM file is an image file saved in the Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine (DICOM) image format. It stores a medical image, such as a CT scan or ultrasound. DCM files may also include patient information to pair the image with the patient.
- The Free Lossless Image Format File (FLIF) is a digital image file format designed to provide high-quality lossless compression for images. Unlike lossy formats like JPEG, FLIF preserves all the original image data without any degradation, ensuring that images are compressed without sacrificing any detail or clarity. This makes FLIF an ideal choice for applications where image quality is paramount, such as digital archives, professional photography, and graphic design. FLIF also incorporates advanced features such as support for high dynamic range (HDR).
