In this paper we investigate the coding of 3D medical images using three-dimensional wavelet decomposition and adaptive arithmetic coding. A highly efficient context arithmetic coding scheme is used in conjunction with classical lifting-based wavelet decompositions. The resulting coder is shown to attain superior performance in comparison to other compression schemes for 3D medical image coding.
