- Description
- The RL4 file type is associated with the Windows operating system, particularly designed for bitmap images. It specifically refers to a bitmap file format used in Windows environments for storing graphical images in a 4-bit RLE (Run-Length Encoded) format. This compression technique helps in reducing the file size without sacrificing the image quality significantly. RL4 files are typically used for storing simple graphics or icons with a limited color palette, making them efficient for applications where space conservation is important.
- 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.
