Abstract
With the advent of full-field digital mammography, mammograms may provide a spatial resolution of 0.05 mm pixel size and 12–14 bits of gray level information which corresponds to more than 30 MBytes of data per image. The consequences are increased costs for storage and delays during image communication and display. Image compression techniques offer a solution to these problems [1].
