Extract text from 3D patient images (TOM)
To convert TOM 3D images to another format, you need Canfield VECTRA or other 3D software.
To convert other file formats to the "Medical 3D Scan File" file type, you need software like Canfield VECTRA or a similar tool.
A .tom file primarily functions as a 3D patient imaging file generated by the Canfield Scientific VECTRA clinical imaging system. In engineering and software environments, the .tom extension is also used for custom component object models in Tekla Structures, CNC tool definitions for ANCA ToolRoom, and software template archives for Hogia business applications.
The main disadvantage of the .tom format is its highly proprietary nature. Medical imaging files produced by the VECTRA system contain closed binary data that cannot be opened by standard 3D viewers, web browsers, or universal CAD software. Users are typically locked into relying on expensive, specialized clinical software to view or interact with the patient scans.
To make this data usable in standard pipelines, you must convert .tom files to universal 3D formats like OBJ, STL, or PLY. However, because this file format is difficult to open or convert, standard online converters fail to parse the geometry. Often only the original Canfield software can properly read or export the 3D data. Our system inspects the internal signature of the file. If your .tom file is actually an ANCA CNC tool definition (which uses standard XML) or a Hogia template (which uses ZIP compression), our analysis will detect the supported underlying embedded format, making data extraction and conversion possible.
Convert.Guru analyzes your TOM file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.
Users also converted PLY, STP and ZTL files.
If you want to convert TOM file to CSV, JSON, XML, YAML, YML, TOML, INI, CFG, CONF, DAT, DB or SQL, you can use Canfield VECTRA or similar software from the "3D Patient Imaging Model" 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 TOM, try Canfield VECTRA or another comparable tool in the "3D Patient Imaging Model" 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 TOM converter.
