The ALI comPACS Data Compression Module for Diagnostic images is an accessory to the ALI UtraPACS (K925965/A) Picture Archiving and Communication System. Through the use of JPEG and Motion JPEG lossy compression, ALI comPACS is intended to provide:

1. significant reductions in the amount of electronic storage space for digitized diagnostic still images and digitized video of diagnostic images while maintaining medically acceptable diagnostic quality of the images; and

2. significant reductions in the amount of time to transmit digitized diagnostic still images and digitized video of diagnostic images from storage to viewing sites, while maintaining medically acceptable diagnostic quality of the images.

Indications for use read by OCR from a scanned FDA summary, so letters may be misread. Check the PDF before quoting it.
