- Description
- The RAD file format is associated with Radiance, a suite of programs designed for the analysis and visualization of lighting in design. It is primarily used for simulating and predicting the light levels and appearance of a space prior to construction. RAD files contain descriptions of physical materials, geometry, and lighting in a scene, allowing for highly accurate light simulation and rendering. This format is widely used by architects and designers to understand and optimize the lighting of both interior and exterior spaces.
- 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.
