Paper Abstract
The application of digital technologies to chest radiography holds
the promise of routine application of intage processing techniques to
effect image enhancement. However, due to their inherent spatial
resolution, digital chest images impose severe constraints on data
storage devices. Compression of these images will relax such
constraints and facilitate image transmission on a digital network.
We have evaluated image processing algorithms aimed at compression
of digital chest images while improving the diagnostic quality of the
image. The image quality has been measured with respect to the task
of tumor detection. Compression ratios of as high as 2:1 have been
achieved. This compression can then be supplemented by irreversible
methods.
