Abstract
A digital encoding and decoding method of high bit-depth gray scale medical images allows standard 3-channel color image compression algorithms to be used to compress and de-compress such encoded high bit-depth gray scale images without significant image quality loss. The digital encoding and decoding method may be used to improve the network transmission, storage and rendering of such gray scale images in a standard web browser.
