How to Open a DCM File on Mac

The DCM file extension stands for Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine, which is a widely used standard for information exchange in digital radiology. In most cases, imaging equipment such as CT and MR scanners generate images saved as DICOM objects. These objects are organized following the hierarchy of Series (single image acquisition), Study (single imaging exam encounter), and Patient.

If you have a DCM file on your Mac, you may be wondering how to open it. Fortunately, there are several software programs that can open DCM files on your Mac. Here are some of them:

* Fujiwara DiskCatalogMaker

* Slicer

To associate the Fujiwara DiskCatalogMaker program with .DCM files on your Mac, follow these steps:

1. Right-click a .DCM file and click Open With.

2. Select Check box for Always use this app to open.

3. In the Open with dialog box, click Fujiwara DiskCatalogMaker or browse to locate the program (.exe) that you want.

Alternatively, you can also import and export DICOM data using the Slicer software. This module provides support for reading and writing data sets from/to disk in DICOM format and network transfer using DIMSE and DICOMweb networking protocols.
