Extract text from CT images or rosters (FRO)
To convert FRO files to another format, you need ImageJ or other Data software.
To convert other file formats to the "Medical Image & Game File" file type, you need software like ImageJ or a similar tool.
A .FRO file typically belongs to one of two highly distinct, proprietary formats: a CT Scanner Image generated by GE Medical Systems, or a custom roster file used in the EA Sports NCAA Football video game series. Rarely, it functions as a legacy dBASE IV Compiled Report.
These formats present massive challenges because they are completely proprietary and closed. Medical .FRO files often contain uncompressed raw pixel data from CT slices, meaning they lack the standard header information found in a JPG or PNG. Without knowing the specific image dimensions or color depth, standard image viewers cannot render them. Meanwhile, NCAA Football roster files are encrypted binary databases designed to prevent users from easily modifying player stats outside the game environment.
To view or convert medical .FRO files, clinical researchers rely on specialized tools like ImageJ or specific GE console software. Legacy database reports require an active installation of dBASE.
When converting medical .FRO files, the optimal target is DCM (DICOM) to retain essential patient metadata, or standard PNG files for presentations. Game rosters are typically converted to CSV using community modding tools, though this process often breaks game compatibility.
Standard online converters fail to process .FRO files because the format lacks public documentation. Convert.guru offers a realistic workaround. Just drag and drop your file to identify the format, view its internal structure, and convert it when possible. Our engine will analyze the file signature to determine if it is a medical image or game data, extract raw hexadecimal or text data, and attempt conversion if standard underlying structures are detected.
Convert.Guru analyzes your FRO file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.
Users also converted XLSM files.
If you want to convert FRO file to CSV, JSON, XML, YAML, YML, TOML, INI, CFG, CONF, DAT, DB or SQL, you can use ImageJ or similar software from the "Medical Imaging / Game Data" category. In the File menu, look for Save As… or Export….
To convert DBF, XML, SQLITE, XLSX, SQL, TSV, ACCDB, YAML, MDB, CSV, ODS or JSON files to FRO, try ImageJ or another comparable tool in the "Medical Imaging / Game Data" category.
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 FRO converter.
