Abstract
Compression is necessary for storage and transmission of the large number of radiologic images in hospitals. Many lossless and lossy compression algorithms are available. Good lossy compression has statistically no observable difference from lossless compression. A study shows that lossy compression may be beneficial for diagnosis. Modeling provides better visualization and good lossy compression.
