How FITS and JPG differ in practice

FITS stores 32-bit greyscale covering the full dynamic range of the scan, and JPG shows 8 bits. The conversion applies a window level, so what ends up visible depends on the window you choose. Decide separately whether patient metadata should be copied to the output or stripped from it. One FITS file can hold several pages or frames, while JPG holds one image each. reaConverter writes a separate output file per page and numbers them, so a single input can produce a whole folder of results.

FITS to JPG Conversion: FAQ

What are FITS files?

The FITS (Flexible Image Transport System) format is a standard format used particularly for storing, transferring and processing scientific images from fields such as astronomy. FITS was first launched as an open standard in the early 1980s and has gone through several subsequent upgrades. FITS files contain not just images, but also data related to photometry and spatial calibration, and information about the origin of the image. Similar formats include FIT and FTS.
