Communication of medical diagnostic information became a big challenge for today's researchers. Faster communication of medical information with minimal bandwidth without sacrificing the diagnostic information is necessary. Compressions of medical information prior to transmission help us to achieve the better communication with minimal bandwidth within short time. This paper concentrates on minimizing the transmission bandwidth by compressing the medical information using hybrid algorithm which uses 2D Bi-Orthogonal multiwavelet transform and SPECK -Deflate encoder.The performance of this algorithm is studied with a2D brain images.The subjective and objective quality of the algorithm is comparedalong with existing algorithms in order to study the performance of the proposed algorithm.The qualitative and quantitative analysis is studied and revealed a better compression ratio than traditional compression algorithm.
