These split files are often created when transferring large DICOM images over a network or storing them on media with limited file size capacity. The *.000003 extension indicates that this file is the third segment of a larger DICOM image. To view the complete image, all parts (e.g., *.000001, *.000002, *.000003, etc.) must be present and combined using compatible DICOM software.
