Abstract
PAZ VIERA, . Juan E. and MIRANDA CASTANEDA, Iroel. Lossy Compression of Medical Images Containing Large Sized Lesions. EAC [online]. 2012, vol.33, n.1, pp. 63-70. ISSN 1815-5928.
Measuring position and dimensions of large size lesions, contained in radiological medical images stored in digital formats, can be a relative easy task for the specialist if the image is not affected by a lossy compression procedure that might introduce artifacts and resolution loss. In the present work, an analysis is made on image quality versus compression ratio as well as on the use of a certain codec for achieving JPEG 2000 compression of images containing such lesions
Keywords : lossy compression; lesions; medical images; JPEG 2000.
