Ex-radiology software developer here, and seconded! J2K is good, but here are some advantages of JXL in the context of medical imaging:

- Better compression ratios

- Ability to modify effort of lossless compression (good for real time transcoding)

- Multi-threaded encode and decode

- Far superior progressive decoding (great for low bandwidth scenarios, just stream in the lossless quality over time)
