This paper discusses the design of the Image Compression Laboratory (ICL), a visual environment supporting radiologists in interactively compressing medical images but still maintaining the diagnostic information. In ICL lossy image compression techniques and the interactive image interpretation approach are merged following the cooperative visual environment approach. In this way the radiologists themselves can perform the compression using their professional skill and knowledge.
