Convert a file to CTS

To convert other file formats to the "Medical Tomography Data" file type, you need software like RadiAnt DICOM Viewer or a similar tool.

About CTS files

The .CTS extension serves three distinct user groups, creating frequent confusion. primarily, it represents a DICOM CT Scan Image, a medical standard used to store cross-sectional anatomical data from Computed Tomography scanners. These files offer high diagnostic precision but are notoriously difficult to manage outside of a hospital network. They require specialized, often expensive software like RadiAnt DICOM Viewer or MicroDicom to open, and their large file sizes make email sharing impossible. Furthermore, raw DICOM files often contain sensitive patient metadata that must be scrubbed before sharing.

For traders, a .CTS file is a Chart Template Setting used by the ATAS Order flow trading platform. These are essentially JSON text files storing technical analysis configurations, layout preferences, and indicators. While powerful for setting up a workspace, they are useless without the ATAS software.

Lastly, the extension is used by TreeSheets, a hierarchical spreadsheet program. These files structure complex data in grids within grids, making them incompatible with standard converters or Microsoft Excel.

Best Conversion Targets:

For Medical Images: Convert to JPG or PNG for quick viewing on mobile devices or web browsers. For archiving reports, PDF is the standard. If the CTS file contains a sequence of scan slices, converting to MP4 video allows for smooth playback.
For Trading Templates: Since these are text-based, you can rename them to JSON or TXT to inspect the code in a text editor, though they function best when imported back into ATAS.
For TreeSheets: To share data with non-users, these should be exported to CSV for Excel compatibility or HTML for web viewing.

Convert.Guru analyzes your CTS file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.
