Rationale and Objectives. The authors' purpose was to assess the effects of Joint Photographic Experts Group (JPEG) image data compression on the performance of computer-assisted detection (CAD) schemes for the detection of masses and microcalcification clusters on digitized mammograms.Materials and Methods. This study included 952 mammograms that were digitized and compressed with a JPEG-compatible image-compression scheme. A CAD scheme, previously developed in the authors' laboratory and optimized for noncompressed images, was applied to reconstructed images after compression at five levels. The performance was compared with that obtained with the original noncompressed digitized images.Results. For mass detection, there were no significant differences in performance between noncompressed and compressed images for true-positive regions (P =.25) or false-positive regions (P =.40). In all six modes the scheme identified 80% of masses with less than one false-positive region per image. For the detection of microcalcification clusters, there was significant performance degradation (P
