Fig. S3—Joint Photographic Experts Group (JPEG) 2000 compression artifacts in transverse low-dose chest CT image in 50-year-old man with ground-glass opacity nodule.
A and B, Original image (A) and JPEG 2000–compressed images (B) show that blurring artifacts are more prominent in chest wall than in lung. Compression artifacts are best shown if a pair of images is alternately displayed on a single monochrome monitor calibrated according to Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine (DICOM) Gray Scale Standard Display Function (GSDF).

A and B, Original image (A) and JPEG 2000–compressed images (B) show blurring artifacts are more prominent in chest wall than in lung. Compression artifacts are best shown if a pair of images is alternately displayed on a single monochrome monitor calibrated according to Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine (DICOM) Gray Scale Standard Display Function (GSDF).
