AWS HealthImaging adds native JPEG 2000 Lossless support

AWS HealthImaging now offers JPEG 2000 Lossless as a transfer syntax for storing and retrieving lossless medical images. With this launch, it is simpler than ever to integrate HealthImaging with applications that require JPEG 2000 encoded DICOM data.

Customers can now choose between JPEG 2000 lossless and High-throughput JPEG 2000 (HTJ2K) for storing lossless DICOM data. HealthImaging data stores enabled for JPEG 2000 Lossless compression more easily integrate with legacy applications and still deliver low latency image retrieval performance from the cloud. With this launch, customers can retrieve image frames in the JPEG 2000 Lossless (1.2.840.10008.1.2.4.90) without incurring the latency of transcoding at retreival time.

Support for JPEG 2000 Lossless is available in all AWS Regions where AWS HealthImaging is generally available: US East (N. Virginia), US West (Oregon), Asia Pacific (Sydney), and Europe (Ireland).
