RESUMO

OBJETIVO:

Estabelecer o limite máximo de compactação JPEG na qual não há comprometimento na análise quantitativa de lesões vasculares cerebrais isquêmicas de pequenos vasos em ressonância magnética. MATERIAL E

MÉTODO:

Quinze imagens em DICOM foram convertidas para JPEG a taxas de compressão de 110 a 160 e avaliadas juntamente com as originais por três neurorradiologistas, que identificaram as lesões, tipo de contorno, morfologia e intensidade do sinal.

RESULTADOS:

As lesões foram bem identificadas até a taxa de 130. Foram identificadas mais lesôes na taxa de 110 do que nas imagens originais. Morfologia e contornos foram bem avaliados até a taxa de 140. A compactação não alterou o sinal.

CONCLUSÃO:

Foram avaliadas lesôes pequenas (até 2mm) e notamos que em todas as taxas de compactação o algoritmo gerou ruídos na imagem, que levaram os avaliadores a identificarem mais lesões nas imagens JPEG do que nas imagens originais DICOM, criando falso-positivos.
ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE:

To establish the maximum achievable JPEG compression ratio without affecting quantitative and qualitative magnetic resonance imaging analysis of isquemic lesions in small vessels of the brain. MATERIAL AND

METHOD:

Fifteen DICOM images were converted to JPEG with a compression ratio of 110 to 160 and were assessed together with the original images by three neuroradiologists. The number, morphology, edges and signal intensity of the lesions were analyzed.

RESULTS:

Lesions were properly identified up to a 130 ratio. More lesions were identified with a 110 ratio then in the original images. Morphology and edges were properly evaluated up to a 140 ratio. Compression did not affect signal.

CONCLUSION:

Small lesions were identified (<2mm) and in all compression ratios JPEG algorithm generated image noise that misled observers to identify more lesions in JPEG images then in DICOM images, thus generating false-positive results.
