Abstract
A transportable medical image storage medium includes a recordable optical compact disk. The compact disk has a first storage area which records a plurality of substantially losslessly compressed digital medical images and a second storage area which records a plurality of lossy compressed digital medical images corresponding to said losslessly compressed medical images. Where a case study or set of medical images is of such a length that more than one CD is required to record all of the losslessly compressed digital medical images, each CD records the entire set of lossy compressed digital medical images.
