New techniques for visualization of losses due to image compression in grayscale medical still images
2003
To evaluate the visual influence of irreversible compression on medical images, changes of the images have to be visualized. The authors have explored alternative techniques to be used instead of the usual side-by-side comparison, where the information contained in both images is perceived in a single image, preserving the context between compression errors and image structures. Thus fast and easy comparison can be done. These techniques make use of the human ability to perceive information also in the dimensions of color, space, and time. A study was performed with JPEG-compressed coronary angiographic images. Changes in the resulting images for six compression factors from 7 to 30 were sc…
A framework for PACS development in cardiology
2003
The authors develop a framework for the integration of cardiology into hospitalwide picture archiving and communication systems (PACSs) by the definition of user requirements in cardiology image information systems. These user requirements have to be based on the consensus of users and industry. A topdown layered scheme is proposed for the development of documents based on user requirements. The structure of committees within the European Society of Cardiology that are working in this field is discussed. >
