Abstract

In this study, the original medical image, DICOM file, was converted into TIFF, BITMAP, GIF, JPEG image file, and then the conversion loss ratio according to the image compression and conversion process was quantitatively evaluated using Origin pro and ICY image analysis program. As the evaluation method, 50% MTF, structural similarity index, MSE, RMSE, maximum signal - to - noise ratio and so on were evaluated. The TIFF image file showed the same result as DICOM image in all experimental groups, Image file format. In this study, we propose a new method for evaluating the quality of digital images by applying original evaluation program such as Origin pro or ICY medical image analysis program. Is expected to be used as research data in the field of medical image processing, and TIFF image file showing the same result as DICOM image in the basic research field using digital medical image and evaluation program that does not support DICOM file Therefore, it is believed that it will help to secure reliability in digital medical image processing research using image file.

본 연구에서는 원본 의료영상인 DICOM 파일을 TIFF, BITMAP, GIF, JPEG 이미지 파일로 변환한 후 Origin pro와 ICY 영상분석 프로그램을 이용하여 영상의 압축 및 변환과정에 따른 변환 손실율을 정량적으로 평가를 하고자 하였다. 평가 방법으로는 50% MTF, 구조적 유사지수, MSE, RMSE, 최대 신호대 잡음비 등을 실험을 통하여 평가하였으며, TIFF 이미지 파일의 경우 모든 실험군에서 DICOM 영상과 동일한 결과 값을 나타내어 DICOM 영상과 동일 하거나 가장 유사한 이미지 파일 형식이라고 판단하였다. 그리고 JPEG 이미지 파일의 화질의 손실 및 왜곡의 정도가 가장 심한 결과로 나타났다, 본 연구는 Origin pro나 ICY 의료영상 분석 프로그램과 같은 독창적인 평가 프로그램을 적용하여 이후의 디지털 의료영상 기초 연구분야에서 본 논문의 평가 방법이 의료 영상 처리 분야의 연구 자료로 활용될 것으로 기대되며, DICOM 파일을 지원하지 않는 디지털 의료영상 및 평가 프로그램을 이용한 기초 연구분야에서 DICOM 영상과 동일한 결과를 나타내는 TIFF 이미지 파일을 기준으로 제시하여, 이미지 파일을 이용한 디지털 의료영상처리 연구 분야에서 신뢰성을 확보하는데 도움이 될 것으로 추론된다.
