Ok, admittedly, this is more of a medical-IT related utility...however, I'm assuming at least a few of you are in this field...?

If not...then at least you can learn something about the medical field and IT today! For more information about the DICOM imaging standard, check out the Wikipedia article.

Most hospitals and clinics have a PACS setup (Picture Archiving and Communication System), allowing these facilities to transfer images and patient information easily and efficiently. These images are stored as DCM files, containing not only the patient images, but their information as well.

However, there may be a time when you need to convert these images to some other format...of course this defeats the advantages of the DICOM standard, but there's always an exception to the rule somewhere, and we have to have our tools, eh?

ABC Amber DICOM Converter is a utility which allows you to convert your DCM files to a huge variety of other more mainstream formats. You can convert a specific file, or a whole folder of images, including the usual suspects of JPG, WMF, BMP, PDF, and a LOT more.

ABC Amber Conversion and Merging software (kind of a strange software author name, eh?) has all sorts of other useful utilities, some free, that work like a dream.

I've purchased and used the BlackBerry Conversion software (which is not free), and it is awesome, so I've nothing but good things to say about this company!
