The paper reports the results of a subjective test carried out to investigate the perceptual effects of different modalities and coding parameters of H.264/AVC (e.g. enabling/disabling the in-loop de-blocking filter) when applied to echocardiographic and echodoppler sequences. The experimental results show that adoption of last generation codecs can preserve the diagnostic effectiveness of the ultrasound imaging sequences.
