Compression of Medical Images Using Wavelet Transforms
Anant Raj Singh · 2012
Medical image compression is necessary for huge database storage in Medical Centres and medical data transfer for the purpose of diagnosis. Wavelet transforms present one such approach for the purpose of compression. The same has been explored in paper with respect to wide variety of medical images. In this approach, the redundancy of the medical image and DWT coefficients are reduced through thresholding and further through Huffman encoding. This paper presents a lossy image compression technique which works well over most of the medical images.
