These parameters are determined by the quality of the scanning device which uses photosensitive, charge coupled diode (CCD) transducers to digitise the image. e. Thehuman eye actually fails to detect differences in quality at values far below these levels. However, if the numberof bits is too low then both grey-scale andcolour images lose resolutionandtendtomonochrome picturesinwhichdetail is lostin amorphous blocks. So why not use the maximum number of bits all of the time? For example, The American College of Radiologists (ACR) has defined [l041 two categories of teleradiology images; small matrix or low-resolution systems must digitise 500 pixel x 500 pixel x 8 bit images, while for large n m t r h or high-resolution, systems therequiredimageresolution is 2000 pixel X 2000 pixel X 12 bit.

A single image file at the low resolution (ultrasound, magnetic resonance, nuclear medicine) standard is therefore about 250 KB. In contrast, a single image file atthe high resolution (digitised radiographic films and computed radiography) standard takes 4 MB, a factor of 16 times the small matrix file size.
