Abstract

We have attempted to understand the characteristics of images through the dependence of distortion and noise production on the compression and to quantitatively estimate of picture quality according to the type of detector used to obtain digital mammography images. We determined the differences in the original images with Signal to Noise Ratio, Peak Signal to Noise Ratio, Root Mean Square Error, and Mean Absolute Error by applying the compression rates of JPEG2000 and JPEG and selecting eight sample images after we checked the Module Transfer Function with the edge method based on IEC 62220-1-2 from the direct Hologic detector and the indirect GE detector. The picture quality of the direct detector was superior to that of the indirect detector with MTF. However, the distortion of the direct detector was more severe than that of the indirect detector in image compression.
