Limitations of JPEG format

When transferring or exporting images in JPEG format, the system uses lossy compression. Lossy
compression may create images that have less absolute detail than BMP format and that don't render
identically to the original images.
JPEG settings:
Setting
Low
Medium
High
In some circumstances, lossy-compressed images may be inappropriate for clinical use. For example, if you
use images in SonoCalc
software uses a sophisticated algorithm to measure images, and lossy-compression may cause errors.
For more information on using lossy-compressed images, consult the industry literature, including the
following references:

System Setup
Because the tags may be incompatible with some earlier archivers, keep this check
box unselected unless you use FUJIFILM SonoSite software products. For more
information, refer to the ultrasound system's DICOM conformance statement.
