Extract text from Medical images and retail data (DCN)
To convert DCN Images and data to another format, you need RadiAnt DICOM Viewer or other Data software.
To convert other file formats to the "Medical Image & Database Log" file type, you need software like RadiAnt DICOM Viewer or a similar tool.
A .DCN file is most frequently encountered as a DICOM medical image, although the extension is also utilized by Aptos (formerly Retek) for Data Change Notification files in retail logistics. The main problem with medical .DCN files is that they are not standard bitmaps; they are containers wrapping pixel data with patient metadata, often in high-bit-depth grayscale that Microsoft Photos or web browsers cannot render. Opening them requires heavy, specialized software like RadiAnt DICOM Viewer or a full PACS workstation. For retail users, the friction lies in the file's proprietary structure designed for database syncing rather than human reading.
To make these files usable, you typically need to convert them based on their origin. For medical images, the best practice is converting to JPG or PNG for quick reference on mobile devices, or PDF for attaching to electronic health records. For Aptos retail files, converting to CSV or TXT allows you to parse the data changes in a spreadsheet editor like Microsoft Excel.

The history of Convert.Guru began over 25 years ago in California with Tom Simondi’s file-format database. A former contributor to Space Shuttle development and a software pioneer of the 1980s, Simondi established a trusted resource for file type analysis that was even referenced by Microsoft Windows XP. Today, we use modern technology to process and convert thousands of file formats while continually improving our DCN converter.
