When the Joint Photographic Expert Group (JPEG)--an international body formed in 1986 to establish standards for still image compression--created JPEG 2000 eight years ago, it designed the coding standard to improve existing JPEG recommendations for multicomponent, high-resolution still images. Since then, DICOM has adopted JPEG as the compression benchmark for medical images. The increasing availability of volumetric medical imaging modalities, such as CT, MR and positron emission tomography (PET), led committee members to extend the standard to handle such datasets. This addendum--JPEG 2000 Part 10, or JP3D--will be recognized as an international standard possibly this year, and the Vrije Universiteit Brussel has developed the verification model software.
