Study on the technology of medical image reading based on JPEG2000

Along with the development of health informatization, many hospitals have set up PACS systems for centralized storage of patients’ medical examination images. Due to the large amount of image data, traditional methods such as C-MOVE, have slow upload and download speeds. And they also have security problems. Based on the research and development of medical imaging informatics and PACS, a JPEG2000-based method is described according to the PACS work flow and DICOM standard. This method makes the image storage, transmission and display operating in parallel, providing a good solution to timeliness and security problems of image reading and viewing. © 2016, Allerton Press, Inc.
