But that's purely a guess, because no material I've seen so far talks about file extensions or file formats. The medical community is good at explaining things in excruciating detail, about things no one cares about. But few seem to be able to view their world from the outside, and work with new entrants.

How to copy medical CD to harddrive
Paul wrote on 12th Jan. 2015 04:39 UTC + 2 :
The only question in my mind would be, what tool made CDROM-XA in the first place ? Maybe the hospital diagnostic instrument was programmed by space aliens ? Space aliens like to make trivial changes to formats, to confuse the humans. Hello, A long time ago, I read a book, I do not remember whether it was about MS-DOS or about assembly programming (I think it was MS-DOS), that presented the basics about a different formatting for a floppy disk, introduced as a way of some sort of cryptography, so that the floppy can only be read with the intended software. Easy to imagine a transposition to a CD, and then a DVD. You know, space aliens are not the only ones willing to protect their data. About applying this to the medical context, I guess Micky has an idea about whom to speak about it with. |

I don't know if the OPs file is exactly this format or not, but you have a look at it with your hex editor, and see if it matches your filext suggestions. The mypacs site has sample medical imaging stuff. This series (61840350) had something to do with someone's knee. http://www.mypacs.net/repos/mpv3_rep...r/61840350.ipd Paul |

Easy to imagine a transposition to a CD, and then a DVD. There are a variety of techniques, but most were security by obscurity at best, as any number of tools would see through them. Usually the idea was a bad/fake allocation table, or changing the disk's apparent size, or similar. These techniques often relied upon the media being read/write, and could not be easily translated into write-once media such as CD/DVD. Regardless, these are simply not encryption techniques. If you want encrypted storage, use encrypted storage, there are a variety of options. -- They call it "PMS" because "Mad Cow Disease" was already taken |
