Problem 1:
Medical images take up a lot of network bandwidth.
This results in bad or unstable image quality.
Problem 2:
Good compression kills CPU performance.
While the CPU is occupied with compression tasks, it does a bad job handling
medical applications such as rendering, segmentation, reconstruction, ...
Disadvantages of compression in software (CPU):
•
Very high processor load
•
No real-time compression possible
•
Compromise between good compression or low CPU load
•
High power consumption per client
Benefit 1:
High-performance imaging on any network.
Benefit 2:
CPU load remains low.
