ZEISS DICOM Converter

ZEISS DICOM Converter

Connect Your ZEISS Microscope to Any DICOM Compatible Image Management System

Unlock seamless image data flow with ZEISS DICOM Converter. Connect your ZEISS microscope to any DICOM-compatible Image Management System (IMS) or Picture Archiving and Communication System (PACS). Transform your .czi image formats into the global DICOM standard to ensure interoperability, collaboration, and future-proof workflows across clinical research, pathology, and contract research organizations (CROs).

With DICOM (Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine), your data becomes universally accessible, linking images, metadata, and annotations into one standardized format. This has made DICOM also a preferred standard for Whole Slide Imaging (WSI). It is used in clinical and research environments to integrate slide scanners into existing image and data management systems.

Highlights

  • Converte ZEISS .czi image files to DICOM .dcm format effortlessly.

  • Supports complex Whole Slide Imaging (WSI): brightfield, fluorescence, multi-channel, and z-stack images.

  • Choose between manual mode for full control or background conversion for maximum automation.

  • Use and share images across IMS, PACS, and AI-based analysis tools in a standardized format.

  • Preserve critical details: ensures tissue structure, fluorescence markers, and metadata integrity.

  • Future-proof investment: standardized data for long-term storage, sharing, and compliance.

    Easy integration into multi-center studies with interoperable formats.

  • CROs (Contract Research Organizations)

    Ensure smooth data exchange with clients and collaborators.

  • AI & Machine Learning

    DICOM-ready datasets for training and deploying diagnostic algorithms.

  • Long-term Archiving

    Secure, compliant storage of valuable whole slide image data.

FAQs

  • DICOM (Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine) is the global standard for storing, transmitting, and sharing medical images and related metadata.

  • ZEISS DICOM Converter reads ZEISS .czi files and converts them into standardized .dcm format.

  • Yes. The converter supports brightfield, fluorescence, multi-channel, and z-stacks to preserve every tissue detail.

  • Yes. You can choose between manual conversion for full control or automated background conversion for efficiency.

  • It is recommended to run the converter on a separate PC to ensure smooth acquisition and processing.

  • In principle, the ZEISS DICOM converter should be able to communicate with all DICOM compatible PACS/IMS solutions.

  • The Axioscan 7 clinical can use the barcode information to generate a file name (see the ZEISS DICOM converter manual for details), allowing the LIS to assign the image data to the appropriate case file.
