There seems to be an issue compressing 16-bit CT and MRI images, at least from GE equipment where I have tested 5 different machines and Toshiba CT where I have tested two equipment.
The outcome of subjecting the images to J2K lossy compression is images with artefacts that appear like boxes of different sizes. It does not matter the quality factor.
I have attached before and after screen-shots of the images as seen on a viewer.
I have also attached before and after dicom images themselves (anonymized)
Is there a known issue with conquest in this regard?
Thanks.
