It will essentially be a :bitmap be and will be displayable by browsers. Also, is it possible to :set no compression for jpeg? I notice whenever I save a jpeg i can set :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.
