DIGITAL IMAGE PROCESSING : A focused Medical Application
Kamal K Vyas, Shubhrita Tiwari, Amita Pareek · 2012
Digital Image Processing is a rapidly evolving field with growing applications in Engineering and Medical. Modern digital technology has made it possible to manipulate Multi-dimensional signals. Digital Image Processing has a broad spectrum of applications. This exploratory paper projected the different compression standards, specified compression technique for medial images. Despite rapid progress in mass-storage density and processor speed, the digital communication system's performance demands for data storage capacity and data-transmission bandwidth. For correct diagnosis, of medical image, a Region Based Compression approach using Block-Based Binary Plane Technique for medical image is preferred. The Physician identifies the region (rectangular in shape) where the important information for the diagnosis is present. Then the part identified by the Physician is compressed using loss less technique so that it is extracted with no loss in quality when it is displayed.
