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.

Portable Pixmap (.ppm)

The Portable Pixmap (PPM) file extension, an image format within the Netpbm family, stores simple, uncompressed images. Introduced in the late 1980s, PPM supports RGB color and grayscale images, making it suitable for basic image processing and conversion tasks. Its plain text encoding simplifies debugging and data manipulation, although its lack of compression results in larger file sizes compared to modern formats. As such, PPM finds limited use in contemporary applications, mainly in educational and experimental settings where ease of implementation and readability are prioritized.
