- Description
- The Sun Rasterfile, identified by the extension .rast, is a bitmap image file format originally developed for use on SunOS by Sun Microsystems. It is designed to store color and monochromatic raster images, such as scanned photographs and digital artwork. The format supports various color depths, including 1, 8, 24, and 32 bits per pixel, allowing for a range of color representations from simple black and white to full true color images. Despite its origins on Sun systems, the format can be used on various platforms and is supported by a variety of image editing and viewing software.
- 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.
