DCM to PS Converter

DCM (DICOM - Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine) is a standard format for storing, transmitting, and handling medical imaging information and related data. It's the universal standard for medical imaging used in radiology, cardiology, and other medical fields.

DCM files contain both image data (like X-rays, MRIs, CT scans, ultrasound images) and patient information, making them comprehensive medical records rather than simple image files.

The format supports various compression methods, multi-frame images (image sequences), and extensive metadata including patient demographics, study information, acquisition parameters, and even structured reports and annotations.

DCM files can be opened with specialized medical imaging software such as OsiriX, Horos (for macOS), RadiAnt DICOM Viewer, and MicroDicom (for Windows).

Professional healthcare systems use dedicated PACS (Picture Archiving and Communication System) viewers that handle DICOM files within their clinical workflow.

For research and education, tools like ImageJ with the DICOM plugin and 3D Slicer provide advanced visualization and analysis capabilities for DICOM data.

To convert DCM files to standard image formats like JPEG, PNG, or TIFF, use our specialized medical imaging converter that preserves diagnostic quality while making images accessible for general use.

For research purposes, our converter can transform DICOM datasets into formats suitable for analysis in scientific software while maintaining calibration information.

Our HIPAA-compliant conversion tools can anonymize DICOM data during conversion, removing patient identifiers while preserving the medical image content for educational or research purposes.

PS (PostScript) is a page description language developed by Adobe that describes the appearance of text, graphics, and images on a printed page. It was revolutionary in desktop publishing and printing industries.

Unlike EPS, which is a single graphic, PS files can contain multiple pages and are primarily used for printing documents rather than for embedding graphics into other documents.

PostScript files contain programming instructions that describe precisely how text and graphics should appear on a page, enabling consistent reproduction across different printers and devices.

PS files can be viewed and printed using software like Adobe Acrobat Distiller, Ghostscript with GSview, or PostScript viewers.

For macOS users, Preview can open many PostScript files, rendering them for on-screen viewing.

Some professional printing software packages also support direct import and processing of PostScript files.

To convert PS files to more widely supported formats like PDF, use our online converter that maintains all text, graphics, and layout elements from the original PostScript file.

Converting PS to PDF is the most common conversion path, as PDF preserves all PostScript elements while adding features like compression and web compatibility.

For image-based outputs like PNG or JPG, our converter will rasterize the PostScript content at your specified resolution.
