FAQ
IMA to SHP Conversion
What are IMA files?
The Siemens IMA file format is a proprietary variant of the DICOM standard used by Siemens medical imaging systems, primarily for storing CT and MRI scan data along with patient information and acquisition parameters. While structurally based on DICOM, .IMA files often require specialized software or conversion tools for use outside Siemens equipment, as some viewers may not recognize the extension despite its DICOM-compatible internals.
What are SHP files?
The SHP (Shapefile) format stores vector files compatible with various Geographical Information System (GIS) software. SHP was developed by the Environmental Systems Research Institute (ESRI), an American provider of GIS software and geodatabase management solutions, with the aim of improving interoperability between GIS software produced by ESRI and other developers. An SHP file usually contains vectorial descriptions of geospatial data (e.g. rivers, lakes), including specific attributes.
