Abstract

This study examines image quality of medical image after compression using JPEG2000 for AAPM CT Performance Phantom in PACS. The compressed images of 15:1 showed change of 1.93% and 0.81% in the CT number of water and the slice thickness, respectively, compared to the original images. The variation of the uniformity did not give a correlation for each measured area. In noise measurements at compressions of 10:1 and 15:1, changes of 1.47% to 10.99% were observed, respectively. The noise showed incremation tendency as increasing over the compression ratio 15:1, and the noise of 81.68% was measured at a compression of 40:1. CT number, uniformity, slice thickness, spatial resolution and contrast resolution for the compressed images were slightly changed by increasing the compression ratio. However, the noise was seriously changed relatively at the compressed images. Thus the noise was a important factor to determine the compression ration. A compression ratio of 10:1 for the AAPM CT Performance Phantom image was appropriate and could be applied to diagnostic images.

본 연구는 PACS에서 JPEG200을 이용하여 AAPM CT Performance Phantom 영상을 다양한 비율로 압축 한 후 영상의 질 변화를 알아보았다. 원 영상을 기준으로 압축된 영상을 비교했을 때 물의 CT 계수 측정에서는 압축률 15:1에서 1.93%의 변화, 절편 두께 측정에서는 15:1에서 0.81% 의 변화를 보였다. 균일도는 규칙적인 변화나 통계적으로 유의한 차이가 나타나지는 않았다. 노이즈 측정의 경우 10:1에서 1.47%의 변화를 보이나 15:1에서 10.99%로 증가한 후 변화율 증가 폭이 확대되어 40:1에서 81.68%의 변화율을 보였다. CT 계수, 균일도, 절편 두께, 공간 분해능, 대조도 분해능의 경우 압축률 증가에 따라 영상의 화질 변화율도 증가하나 영향은 크지 않은 것으로 나타났다. 상대적으로 노이즈는 압축에 따른 영향을 많이 받는 것으로 나타났다. JPEG2000 압축 기법으로 AAPM CT Performance Phantom 영상을 평가한 결과 CT영상의 압축을 시행하는 경우 10:1정도의 압축률이 적정한 것으로 판단된다.
