What is a DCM file?
DCM is the file extension for DICOM (Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine) files, used for storing medical imaging data such as MRIs, CT scans, and ultrasounds. DICOM is an international standard in healthcare.
DCM files often contain both image data and patient metadata, making them crucial for diagnostics, analysis, and telemedicine.
How to open DCM files
To view DCM files, specialized medical software like RadiAnt DICOM Viewer, MicroDicom, or OsiriX is typically used. Some PACS (Picture Archiving and Communication Systems) also support DCM viewing.
If you need to extract images or convert them to a simpler format like JPG or PNG, AnyConv offers an easy-to-use solution that respects your data's structure.

The format with a Hollywood cameo
In the TV series House M.D., many of the on-screen scans shown to viewers were actually real DICOM (DCM) files.
