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.

PiCture eXchange (.pcx)

The PCX file extension, standing for PiCture eXchange, is a raster image format developed by ZSoft Corporation in 1985 for its PC Paintbrush software. It became one of the first widely accepted DOS imaging standards, supporting palette-indexed images from 2 to 256 colors and later true-color (24-bit) images. PCX files use RLE (Run-Length Encoding) compression, making them smaller in size. Although largely replaced by formats like BMP, JPEG, and PNG, PCX was pivotal in early computer graphics and is still supported by various image processing software.
