Manufacturer Format Notes
I only have a few sample of these. The data, in ".bin" files, inside
XA AND X-RAY VR3D "VR3D" sub-dir and appear to be compressed.
Alpinion
".bin" files Used on the E-CUBE models.
Note: At this time TomoVision is unable to read these files.
OPTICAL FILM DIGITIZER This format support 3D volumes. Images can be in Spherical, Cylindrical
KretzFile or Cartesian system. The data can also be compressed using Wavelet
".vol" files, compression.
or ".v00" to ".vZZ" Used on some Voluson models.
Note: TomoVision only support the uncompressed version of this format.
OTHER FORMATS
"KRETZ_US" private tag: The Kretzfile data is stored "as is" in these
private tags.
Used on some Voluson models.
GE* Note: TomoVision only support the uncompressed version of this format.
"GEMS_Ultrasound_MovieGroup" private tag: The 3D/4D data is
DICOM stored in these private tags.
Used on some Logiq and Vivid models.
"GEMS_Ultrasound_VolumeGroup" private tag: The 3D/4D data is
stored in these private tags.
Used on some Vivid models.
Note: I only saw Cartesian examples of this. If you have a spherical dataset, please let me
know!
This format support 3D/4D volumes, in an hybrid Cartesian/cylindrical
system, using "US Multiframe Image" SOP Class to store Cartesian 2D
images arrange in a 3D fan. The 3D information is stored in "ALOKA..."
Hitachi* DICOM private tags.
Used on some Alpha models.
Note: I only saw cylindrical datasets from Hitachi/Aloka. If you have anything else, please let
me know!
A very simple 3D format. The dataset can be Cartesian system or not.
Kartesian Used on some Combison models.
".v00" to ".vFF" files Note: I only saw Cartesian examples of this. If you have a non-Cartesian dataset, please let me
Medison* know!
MVL (Medison 3D Volume), This format support 3D volumes. Images can be
".mvl" files in Spherical, Cylindrical or Cartesian system.
"Philips3D" private tag: The 3D data is stored in these private tags.
Used in QLAB exports.
Note: TomoVision only support the uncompressed version of this format.
"Philip US Imaging DD" private tag:
- Using the "US Multiframe Image" SOP Class, the 3D data can be either
stored in Cartesain format in the pixel data tag, or in the private tags
(leaving room in the pixel data tags for rendered images of the
volumes).
Philips* DICOM - Using the "US Image" SOP Class, the 3D data is stored in spherical
system directly in the private tags.
Used on some iU, iE and affinity models.
Note: I am still working on the spherical version, more news soon...
"Philip US Imaging 60" private tag: The 3D data can be either stored
in Cartesain format in the pixel data tag using the "US Multiframe
Image" SOP Class, or stored (possibly compressed) directly in the
private tags using the "US Image" SOP Class.
Note: TomoVision only support the uncompressed version of this format.
Samsung* MVL Samsung use 2 format with the same ".mvl" file extension. One is the
".mvl" files Medison MVL format.
MVL vers:221 The other ".mvl" file format, version 221, has nothing in commun with
".mvl" files the previous MVL format exept for the file extension. It support 3D/4D

datasets in spherical or Cartesian systems.
Used in Accuvix V and other models.
The 3D data is stored (in Cartesian system only) using the "Enhanced
DICOM US Volume" SOP Class.
Used in MySono U6 and other models?
"SIEMENS MED SMS USG" private tag: The 3D data is stored in the
normal DICOM voxel data location (7FE0,0010) even if the voxels are
DICOM spherical!
Used on the Acuson S2000 model.
Siemens Note: The format seem to support both Cartesian and spherical voxels, but I only saw spherical
samples... If you have sample data in a Cartesian system, please let me know!
This format support 3D volumes (in Cartesian system?).
SPF Note: I only saw one sample of this format, and it was in Cartesian. If you have data in this
format, please let me know!
"PMTF INFORMATION DATA" private tag: The 3D data is stored,
uncompressed, in these private tags.
Used on some Aplio and Xario models.
Toshiba* DICOM "TOSHIBA MDW NON_IMAGE" private tag: The 3D data seem to be
stored in compressed format in these private tags.
Used on some Xario models.
Note: At this time TomoVision is unable to read these files.
Zonare* DICOM The 3D data is stored using the "Raw Data Storage" SOP Class.
