News



This article announces enhanced support for lossy compressed medical imaging data in AWS HealthImaging, a HIPAA-eligible service for storing, analyzing, and sharing medical images at scale.

Specifically, the article covers:

  • Support for lossy image compression formats like JPEG Baseline Lossy 8-bit, JPEG 2000 lossy, and High-Throughput JPEG 2000 lossy, which will be persisted without transcoding, reducing storage costs
  • Enhanced support for DICOM binary segmentation objects, where Segmentation Type BINARY will be returned in the Explicit Little Endian (ELE) transfer syntax
  • HealthImaging's ability to empower healthcare providers and software partners to run medical imaging applications at scale from a single copy of each medical image in the cloud
  • The availability of HealthImaging in several AWS Regions, including US East (N. Virginia), US West (Oregon), Asia Pacific (Sydney), and Europe (Ireland)
