Abstract
Radiology is increasingly embracing digital technologies in an effort to provide patients with better and more cost effective care. Mammography in particular should soon see the widespread deployment of Full Field Digital Mammography (FFDM) systems. The benefits such systems promise are numerous, yet come with new challenges. Two challenges stand out: how to display very high resolution digital images, and how to transmit and store the large volumes of digital image data. This paper addresses aspects of the latter challenge.
