Thanks for the clarification, Dr. Palter. My knowledge of compressed video standards is somewhat slim, but I have run across references to Motion JPEG2000 being used for remote security cameras and the like. (That may or may not have a place in the OR.) And HD Photo may hold promise in the sorts of embedded systems you are talking about. I'm coming at the imaging standards from a cultural heritage preservation point-of-view, and I'm still waiting to see the studies and the implementations that would allow for a true comparison with other standards that are out there.

Palter, MD Sun, 05 Aug 2007 14:24:06 +0000 http://docinthemachine.com/2007/08/03/hdphoto/#comment-23676 Peter- you are 100% correct there is nothing HD photo and video have in common except the letters "HD" (a bit of microsoft marketing). I did not mean to imply there was any connection. The OR archiving systems are fairly primitive today using low res BMP, or sometimes a decent TIFF or JPEG (usually lower res). I do not see HD photo replacing JPEG2000 in DICOM necessarily. The OR archival systems while sometimes DICOM compliant ususally do not use it. They are simply local recorders attached to the cmera that burn a disk. I have never seen an OR make use of the DICOM functionality sending the images remotely although that is a feature of some. My point of the post is that if a system can be designed that can use a compression algorithm that yields very high compression and quality on the fly it could enable wireless systems for us.

I do wonder about the potential for HD Photo use in the medical community since the <a href="http://medical.nema.org/" rel="nofollow"><abbr title="Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine">DICOM</abbr> standard</a> has JPEG2000 at its core already. Do you envision HD Photo supplementing or replacing JPEG2000 in DICOM? As near as I can tell, “HD Photo” and “HD Video” are two very different things (other than sharing “HD” in their name).
