edam id: edam.format:3548

ncit id: ncit:C63537

file extensions: dicom dcm

limitations:

  • Files are generally named using unique identifiers that may not be compatible across all operating systems (i.e., they may be too long).

  • Patient data is included in each image file header so all files must be processed in order to anonymize them.
