Over recent times, medical imaging plays a significant role in clinical practices. Storing and transferring the huge volume of images becomes complicated without an efficient image compression technique. This paper proposes a compression algorithm that uses a Haar based wavelet transform called Tetrolet transform, which reduces the noise on the input images and decomposes with a 4 x 4 blocks of equal squares called tetrominoes. It opts for a decomposing using optimal scheme for achieving the input image into a sparse representation which gives a much-detailed performance for texture and edge information better than wavelet transform. Set Partitioning in Hierarchical Trees (SPIHT) is used for encoding the significant coefficients to achieve efficient image compression. It has been investigated with various metaheuristic algorithms. Experimental results prove that the proposed method outperforms the other transform-based compression in terms of PSNR, CR, and Complexity. Also, the proposed method shows an improved result with another state of work.

To meet the demand for high speed transmission of image, efficient image storage, remote treatment an efficient image compression technique is essential. Wavelet theory has great potential in medical image compression. Most of the commercial medical image viewers do not provide scalability in image compression. This paper discusses a medical application that contains a viewer for digital imaging and communications in medicine (DICOM) images as a core module. Progressive transmission of medical images through internet has emerged as a promising protocol for teleradiology applications. The major issue that arises in teleradiology is the difficulty of transmitting large volume of medical data with relatively low bandwidth. Recent image compression techniques have increased the viability by reducing the bandwidth requirement and cost-effective delivery of medical images for primary diagnosis. This paper presents an effective algorithm to compress and reconstruct Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine (DICOM) images. DICOM is a standard for handling, storing, printing and transmitting information in medical imaging. These medical images are volumetric consisting of a series of sequences of slices through a given part of the body. DICOM image is first decomposed by Haar Wavelet Decomposition Method. The wavelet coefficients are encoded using Set Partitioning in Hierarchical Trees (SPIHT) algorithm. Discrete Cosine Transform (DCT) is performed on the images and the coefficients are JPEG coded. The quality of the compressed image by different method are compared and the method exhibiting highest Peak Signal to Noise Ratio (PSNR) is retained for the image. The performance of the compression of medical images using the above said technique is studied with the two component medical image compression techniques.

This paper concerns Image compression obtained with wavelet-based compression techniques such as set–partitioning in hierarchical trees (SPIHT)yield very good results The necessity in image compression continuously grows during the last decade, different types of methods is used for this mainly EZW, SPIHT and others. In this paper we used discrete wavelet transform and after this set-partitioning in hierarchical trees (SPIHT) with some improvement in respect of encoding and decoding time with better PSNR with respect to EZW coding.

In this paper, two simple yet efficient embedded block-based image compression algorithms are presented. These algorithms not only improve the rate distortion performances of set partitioning in hierarchical trees (SPIHT) and set partitioning in embedded block coder (SPECK) at lower bit rates but also reduces the dynamic memory requirement by 91.1% in comparison to SPIHT. The former objective is achieved by better exploiting the coefficient decaying spectrum of the wavelet transformd images and the later objective is realised by improved listless implementation of the algorithms. The proposed algorithms explicitly perform breadth first search like SPECK. Extensive simulation conducted on various standard grayscale and color images indicate significant peak-signal-to-noise-ratio (PSNR) improvement over most of the state-of-the-art wavelet-based embedded coders including JPEG2000 at lower rates. The reduction of encoding and decoding time as well as improvement in coding efficiency at lower bit rates facilitate these coder as better candidates for multimedia applications.
