As an introduction to Section C2 (medical imaging) of track C (Images and PACS) of MIE '97, an appropriate and timely topic concerns the coding for the transmission of medical images in PACS. Speed limitations of existing networks along with the explosive growth of image modalities with extremely high volume outputs have combined to make the issue of medical image coding one of the key considerations in the design of future PACS systems. Both lossless and lossy compression schemes are reviewed and compared, and the compression demands are presented of the main digital medical image modalities.
作为对1997年医学信息学大会（MIE '97）C轨道（图像与PACS）中C2部分（医学成像）的介绍，一个恰当且及时的主题涉及PACS中医学图像传输的编码。现有网络的速度限制，加上具有极高输出量的图像模态的爆炸式增长，使得医学图像编码问题成为未来PACS系统设计中的关键考虑因素之一。本文回顾并比较了无损和有损压缩方案，并提出了主要数字医学图像模态的压缩要求。
