Marius Šadauskas, System Integrator at MedDream

During the webinar, these questions from the attendees were answered:

– Why is HTJ2K not widely adopted yet?
– When MedDream is planning to implement pathology support?
– How can I deploy MedDream on the cloud?
– How is the adoption of HTJ2K in the DICOM community?
– How is the MedDream JPEG lossless setting compared with this?
– How hard is it to convert from HTJ2K from DICOM 2000? The idea is to store the study first in HTJ2K, and at 2+year mark convert to JPEG 2000.
– So, the advantage is faster visualization, but more storage capacity needed. But isn’t the enormous demand for additional storage exactly what’s slowing down the adoption of digital pathology? Is there a way to convert to JPEG2000 for long term storage to save on storage?
– This compression is lossy, no? It is approved for primary diagnosis?
– I see DICOM committee on PS3.5 just released, said that the HTJ2K is supported as “encapsulated” format. Is there a native compressed format?
– It is possible to postprocess those images? What about 3D reconstruction?
– With the new HTJ2K option in MedDream is the decoding done on the client and the performance related to the client resources?
