:the quality from 0-100%.

If they're more complex medical-type images, I'd recommend converting
the images to png over gif - political/patent issues aside.  I
wouldn't trust a jpg with important detail-oriented data like that.  I
don't know that a lossless tiff would be a great improvement over a
bmp - you're likely to run into the same platform-dependent viewer
issues as you would with a bitmap.
