The DCM file format is a specialist image format used in medical circles. They are used to contain images of X-rays, CT scans, or MRIs in a standard format that can be shared across the industry.

Within the DCM file can be several medical images, which are often accompanied by important patient data and surgical routine data, all stored as metadata within the file.

As DCM is a specialized format, it can only be opened and viewed with similarly specialized software. We have tools that allow DCM files to be converted to other, more accessible formats, such as JPEG.

Extension	JPEG
Full Name	Joint Photographic Experts Group
Type	Image
Mime Type	image/jpeg
Format	Binary
Opens With	Paint.Net, Photoshop

A JPEG file is a compressed and highly efficient image file format whose aim is to store photographic-quality images using a fraction of the storage space compared to other lossy and non-lossy image compression methods available at the time.

The compression used by JPEG encoders is "lossy", meaning image colors that are not perceptible to the human eye are discarded during the compression process. The removal of this color data greatly reduces the size of the final JPEG file with no discernible loss in quality.

Due to their compact and high-quality format, JPEG files are one of the primary image formats used by websites, digital and phone/tablet cameras, and more. This widespread support means JPEG files can be edited within most popular image editing software.
