• Digital video sequences:– Replacing analogue tapes– For post operation reporting– Carefully selected clips
• Archiving on DVD or Server
• Without workflow disturbance
• Associated to report for referring physicians
• Minimizing the retrieval time
– Including sound (environment, comments)

The Video SignalThe Video Signal• PAL is the analogue TV transmission standard used in
Europe, and throughout many parts of the world. A uncompressed PAL TV (25 f/s) picture produces a massive 216 Mbit/sec bit stream
• The U.S. uses an analogue TV system called NTSC. This system provides less precise color information, and a different frame rate (30 f/s). An uncompressed NTSC signal requires slightly less transmission capacity at 168 Mbit/sec.
• Data rates becomes even higher when one realizes a High Definition TV (HDTV) picture requires a raw bandwidth exceeding 1 Gbit/sec (1000 Mbit/sec).

MPEG-2MPEG-2
• 1987 Discussion about compression of video• 1988 ISO/IEC Moving Picture Experts Group• 1992 MPEG-2 (TV) and MPEG-3 (HDTV) combined
• 1993 MPEG-2 Main profile defined, compatible with MPEG-1
• 1994 ISO 13818-1 MPEG-2 Systems Definition
• 1997 First interactive Digital Video Broadcast service using MPEG-2

Other MPEG standardsOther MPEG standards
• MPEG-1, a standard for storage and retrieval of moving pictures and audio on storage media
• MPEG-2, for digital video
• MPEG-4, for multimedia applications (~DivX)
• MPEG-7, content representation standard for information search
• MPEG-21 to define a multimedia framework

Why MPEG-2Why MPEG-2
• Open, established standard
• Compatibility to DVD and Networks
• Low cost technology base
• Family inter-operability & flexibility
• Scalable bit rates
• Industry Support…
• and STABLE ?

MPEG-2 DisseminationMPEG-2 Dissemination
Systems which now use MPEG-2 is extensive and continuously growing:– Digital TV (cable, satellite and terrestrial
broadcast)– Video on Demand– Digital Versatile Disc (DVD)– Personal Computing– Card Payment, test and measurement, etc.
Thiem, Rorive & Cordonnier DICOM 20th Anniversary Conference / Video page 18
MPEG-2 CompressionMPEG-2 Compression
• Video compression which is backwards compatible with MPEG-1
• Full-screen interlaced and/or progressive video (for TV and Computer displays)
• Enhanced audio coding (high quality, mono, stereo, and other audio features)
• Transport multiplexing (combining different MPEG streams in a single transmission stream)
• Other services (GUI, interaction, encryption, data transmission, etc)

MPEG-2 Levels & ProfilesMPEG-2 Levels & Profiles
• Profile = quality of the video
• Level = resolution of the video
• The basic system is known as Main Profile Main Level (MP@ML) which covers video compression to 1-15 Mbps.

DICOM WG13 MPEG2 Work ItemDICOM WG13 MPEG2 Work Item
• Several face to face meetings, mainly in Europe, and t-cons
• Supplement 42: MPEG2 Video Sequence Transfer Syntax
• Supplement 47: Visible Light Video Sequences
• Plan to finalize the supplements end 2003, for balloting early in 2004

DVD based media exchange profileDVD based media exchange profile
• The DVD writers (~350€) and DVD-R media (~2€) are really accessible
• CD is more and more accepted and used for image distribution and « portable archive »
• DICOM sup 80 will be balloted soon• WG13 proposes to:
– Use the sup 80 format with VL SOP + potential Key Object Selection for « key » sequences
– Add an informative annex suggesting how to create a « dual format » DVD containing the DICOM data and a Video DVD of the acquired / selected sequences for the distribution to the patient / referring physician

ConclusionConclusion
• The demand for digital video recording in Visible Light Imaging is emerging
• DICOM will contribute to harmonize the different products
• MPEG2 MP@ML is the best compromise
• Network transfer and DVD media exchange
• To be adopted in VL in a couple of months
• Could be applicable elsewhere (US…)
