Abstract

A full-frame bit-allocation technique has been developed for radiological image compression based on encoding the cosine transform of the image. Six different types of diagnostic images were used to examine this technique, and the results have been encouraging. Reconstructed images from compressed-image data with compression ratios of 4:1, 8:1, 12:1, and 16:1 did not have excessive visual degradation. It is concluded that this technique is suitable for diagnostic image compression.

Molecular orbital study on the glutathione-dependent detoxication of ozonides.

The present paper describes a theoretical study on the mechanism underlying the reaction of cellular glutathione (GSH) with polyunsaturated fatty acid ozonides. The reaction can be catalyzed by glutathione S-transferases and leads to detoxication of the ozonides. Semi-empirical molecular orbital computer calculations suggest that the reaction of glutathione with ozonides involves a nucleophilic attack at one of the carbon atoms of the ozonide ring, instead of at one of the peroxidic oxygen atoms of the ozonide ring. This implies a mechanism different from that of the glutathione S-transferase-mediated reaction with hydroperoxides, previously proposed for the glutathione-dependent detoxication of fatty acid ozonides.
