What is DCM file?
The .DCM file extension is used for Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine (DICOM) image files. These files are also referred to as 'Digital Imaging Format'; they are typically used for medical applications and contain medical imaging data such as Magnetic Resonance (MR), Ultrasound, or Computed Tomography (CT). A .DCM file can contain various types of information, including high-resolution images, patient data, visual effects, patient wristband information, and other related data. [ ⏩ ] DCM file extension
What is DIC file?
The DIC file extension is used to store dictionaries, in a special file format, creating by WordWeb software. It is used primarily to store definitions of words and other data such as the pronunciation and/or part of speech for a word. This data can then be looked up quickly for use in other applications. The file format used allows for the storage of anything considered a “dictionary” as long as it conforms to the specifications given by WordWeb Plus software. [ ⏩ ] DIC file extension
How to convert the file from DCM to DIC?
To successfully convert the DCM file to DIC, you should install one of the applications from the list. After installing the software, open the program and select the file you want to convert (file-name.DCM). The next step is to select the target format from the list, in this case DIC (usually converters allow you to convert to several different formats, so check out their features - maybe one of the available formats will suit you more than DIC).
What is a file conversion?
A data conversion is normally an automated process to some extent. The effect of the operation of one program is automatically the input product of another application. If that does not happen we need to help the process a little bit and convert the file on our own, e.g. DCM to DIC. To obtain a matched structure of the data, it is necessary to use an appropriate converter.
Program for converting DCM files to DIC files is a kind of a "binary code translator" compensating for the differences in the code or translating it in such a way so that another application could use it. For us, as users, the visible change will be only another file extension. (After converting the file, it will be the extension DIC, while before this step we had the DCM file). For the programs, the difference is on a much higher level – either the application will be able to open a new DIC file, or not.
