Supplement 235: HTJ2K Transfer Syntax

This supplement adds HTJ2K (High Throughput JPEG 2000 image compression) Transfer Syntaxes to the DICOM Standard. The addition of HTJ2K is intended to address some of the shortcomings of JPEG 2000 which have prevented wider adoption of JPEG 2000. The benefits of HTJ2K include making it easier to stream and decode thumbnails as well as improving the performance of encoding and decoding, and decreasing the encoder and decoder complexity.
