J.Fieb, I would expect any lossy type compression (including MPEGx) to be unacceptable to use in medical diagnosis. I wouldn't allow it in any diagnosis of my family or I. Lossy compression loses data, period. It's not worth the risk. Nor would I expect any legal medical advisor to condone it. "well you see Mr. Juror these three pixels were missing from the image I sent Dr. Who, because I compressed it before I Emailed it to him. It's not his fault, we were using the latest in lossy image compression, and..." Judge: "Counselor, it would please the court if you would take a moment and explain lossy compression vs lossless compression?" Uh, Oh.... The technical issues of DNA are bad enough to try to explain, but explain why the medical industry relies on a compression scheme that loses data?!
