The international standard for transmitting, storing, retrieving, printing, processing, and displaying medical imaging data is called DICOM, or digital imaging and communications in medicine. DICOM uses image files generated from several modalities. DICOM, on the other hand, organizes information into a data set, so the image file contains the patient's ID, date of birth, age, sex, and other information regarding the diagnosis all inside the image, as illustrated in the figure illustrating the essential elements of a medical image.

Although all the elements are necessary, our focus is on the pixel depth and pixel data. To the best of my knowledge, converting ultrasound images to other file types is not problematic, but we must take the image's depth into account since we cannot convert a 16-bit DICOM image to a JPEG or PNG with an 8-bit depth because this might distort the image's quality and characteristics. The information that we will feed the network is pixel data.

Thanks, in the last paragraph I try to mention that it is 16-bit Dicom images consequently the pixel ranges are much higher. so I think converting them to jpeg or png images might distort the image's quality and characteristics.
