FAQ
PD to SHP Conversion
What are PD files?
PD is a specialized file format used by some medical devices which perform tomography or CAT scan. It is considered rare and it's probably difficult to open using regular image viewers. For best results, PD files can be converted to more accessible formats.
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.
