Due to the constrained bandwidth and storage capacity, medical images must be compressed before transmission and storage. However, compression will reduce image fidelity, especially when the image is compressed of lower bit rate, which cannot be tolerated in medical field. In this paper, the compression performance of the new JPEG-2000 and the more conventional JPEG is studied. The parameters used for comparison include the compression efficiency, peak signal-to-noise ratio (PSNR), picture quality scale (PQS), and mean opinion score (MOS). Three types of medical images are used — X-ray, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and ultrasound. Overall, the study shows that JPEG-2000 compression is more acceptable and superior compare to JPEG for lossy compression.

Purpose The joint photographic experts group (JPEG) 2000 image compression system is being used for cultural heritage preservation. The authors are aware of over a dozen of big memory institutions worldwide using this format. This paper aims to review and explain choices for end users to help resolve trade-offs that these users are likely to encounter in practice. Design/methodology/approach The JPEG 2000 format is quite complex and therefore sometimes considered as a preservation risk. A lossy compression is governed by a number of parameters that control compression speed and rate-distortion trade-off. Their inappropriate adjustment may fairly easily lead to sub-optimal compression performance. This paper provides general guidelines for selecting the most appropriate parameters for a specific application. Findings This paper serves as a guide for the preservation of digital heritage in cultural heritage institutions, including libraries, archives and museums. Originality/value This paper serves as a guide for the preservation of digital heritage in cultural heritage institutions, including libraries, archives and museums.

To provide efficient compression of medical images, identifying and extracting the region of interest from the entire image and coding the specific region to accuracy is important. This chapter introduces the basics of region of interest coding, an overview of the coding methods available and their main features for the benefit of learners and researchers. The special focus is on JPEG-2000-based algorithms.

There is a significant necessity to compress the medical images for the purposes of communication and storage.Most currently available compression techniques produce an extremely high compression ratio with a high-quality loss. Inmedical applications, the diagnostically significant regions (interest region) should have a high image quality. Therefore, it ispreferable to compress the interest regions by utilizing the Lossless compression techniques, whilst the diagnostically lessersignificant regions (non-interest region) can be compressed by utilizing the Lossy compression techniques. In this paper, a hybridtechnique of Set Partition in Hierarchical Tree (SPIHT) and Bat inspired algorithms have been utilized for Lossless compressionthe interest region, and the non-interest region is loosely compressed with the Discrete Cosine Transform (DCT) technique.The experimental results present that the proposed hybrid technique enhances the compression performance and ratio. Also,the utilization of DCT increases compression performance with low computational complexity.

     This paper introduced a hybrid technique for lossless image compression of natural and medical images; it is based on integrating the bit plane slicing and Wavelet transform along with a mixed polynomial of linear and non linear base. The experiments showed high compression performance with fully grunted reconstruction.

This paper presents a listless variant of modified wavelet block tree coding (MLBTC) algorithm. Wavelet block-tree coding (WBTC) improves the image compression performance of set partitioning in hierarchical trees (SPIHT) at lower rates by efficiently encoding both inter- and intra-scale correlations. The use of auxiliary lists makes WBTC undesirable for hardware implementation as it needs a lot of memory management due to exponential increase of nodes on each pass. The proposed coder named as hierarchical listless block-tree DTT (HLBT_DTT) that combines discrete Tchebichef transform (DTT) with MLBTC exhibits compression performance significantly higher than most of the DCT-based embedded coders and comparable with JPEG 2000, especially at lower bit rates. Further, HLBT_DTT requires only 10% of memory than that of DCT-based SPIHT/WBTC coders.
