A DCM file is an image file saved in the Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine (DICOM) image format. It is commonly used to store medical imaging data such as CT scans, MRIs, and ultrasound images. DCM files can include patient information for reference, and they were developed by the National Electrical Manufacturers Association (NEMA) to standardize the imaging file format for distribution and viewing of medical images.
DCM files can be opened with a variety of applications, such as MicroDicom viewer (Windows), ezDICOM (Windows), and MeVisLab (multiplatform). XnViewMP and Adobe Photoshop can convert DCM files to other image formats. File Viewer Lite is a free program that can open NEMA .DCM and .DICOM files.
It is important to note that DCM files may also be a file catalog created by Fujiwara DiskCatalogMaker, a Mac file cataloging and organization program.
