Abstract
A PRIOR ULTRASOUND compression study performed by our group considered a variety of factors, including frame-grabbed versus direct Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine (DICOM) acquisition techniques, Joint Photographic Expert's Group (JPEG), and wavelet compression algorithms, the presence of burned-in text in the image, anda variety of compression ratios ranging from 10:1 to 25:1.1 The results of this prior study showed that grayscale ultrasound images compressed with the JPEG algorithm were preferable to those compressed with our wavelet techniques. The results also indicated that grayscale ultrasound images compressed with a quality factor of 70 (corresponding to a compression ratio of approximately 9:1) were of acceptable for diagnostic purposes. The purpose of this study was to formally validate that preliminary finding using a large number of grayscale and color ultrasound images.
