- Description
- The ST7 file type is associated with images captured by SBIG CCD cameras, specifically the ST-X series, which are designed for astronomical imaging. These files contain raw data from the camera's charge-coupled device (CCD), recording detailed information about celestial objects as seen through the telescope with which the camera is paired. The format is primarily used by astronomers and astrophotography enthusiasts for deep-sky imaging, allowing for post-processing to enhance detail, correct for atmospheric distortion, and calibrate colors. Given their specialized nature, ST7 files typically require specific software to open, analyze, and process the data they contain.
- 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.
