IM5 format details:

A file format defines how the data in the file is structured. The initial characters of a file are called signature, sometimes also referred to as "magic bytes". The signature can be used to infer the file format. However, different programs can use the same file extension, and file extensions can be assigned incorrectly. When there is a problem with a file, the first step to solving it is to determine the file format. In the following you will find our evaluation of the IM5 files:

The IM5 file extension is rarely used and includes different formats for the applicable programs. However, the following two file formats are common:

• 65% of all IM5 files are based on the popular DICOM file format. DICOM is short for Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine. DICOM files are used to store, exchange, and transmit medical images from radiography, ultrasonography, computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and radiation therapy, but also personal data about the patient. The content consists of illegible binary data, which can only be read and interpreted by the associated programs. IM5 files are between 310 KB and 8 MB in size. The file type is relatively new. The keywords DICM and 1.2.840.10008.5.1.4.1.1.4 are typical for these files.
• 5% of all IM5 files start with the bytes SAIA PCD Image File crucial for this file format. The contents of these files cannot be read by a human; only a computer program can interpret the data. The average file size is 100 KB with most files being between 53 KB and 700 KB in size. Several words can almost always be found in the files, e.g. SAIA PCD Image File.

All other IM5 files (30%) have no consistent format. If you want to find out which format your IM5 file belongs to, just click on the button "Choose your .im5 file to view this image".
