A DCM file stores a medical image, such as a CT scan or ultrasound. It may also include patient information to pair the image with the patient. The DICOM format has become a standard for storing, transmitting, viewing, processing, and printing medical images. The National Electrical Manufacturers Association (NEMA) created the DICOM format. NEMA released the initial standard in 1983. It also revised it several times in the 1990s and 2000s. Doctors often share images with other professionals and patients via CDs or email. In addition, there are online apps that allow to view, edit, convert DCM files without installing anything. The file extension DCM is a standard way information is encoded for storage. The DCM format specifies how bits encode information in digital storage. File formats may be proprietary, free, unpublished or open. DCM files are like DCMD but DCMD supports thumbnails.
