Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine (.dicom)

DICOM and DCM both stand for an identical format. The DICOM file extension is integral to the Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine standard, a cornerstone in medical IT for storing and transmitting imaging data like CTs, MRIs, and ultrasounds. The DICOM file ensures that each image is linked with the corresponding patient information, facilitating a standardized exchange of medical images across various healthcare systems and equipment, regardless of the manufacturer.
