DICOM

DICOM, or Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine is a standardised file format created to aid the distribution and viewing of medical images. CT scans, MRIs and Ultrasound scans are converted to the standard DICOM format for distribution and processing.

This allows medical viewers such as Perspecta, or Dextroscope to work with a wide range of medical scans, and yet only have a single file format to worry about, ensuring maximum efficiency.
