Owing to a large amount of images, image compression is requisite for minimizing the redundancies in image, and it offers efficient transmission and archiving of images. This paper presents a novel medical image compression model using intelligent techniques. The adopted medical image compression comprises of three major steps such as, Segmentation, Image compression, and Image decompression. Initially, the Region of Interest (ROI) and Non-ROI regions of the image are split by means of a Segmentation procedure using Modified Region Growing (MRG) algorithm. Moreover, the image compression process begins which is varied for both ROI and Non-ROI regions. On considering the ROI regions, the compression is carried out by Discrete Cosine Transform (DCT) model and SPIHT encoding method, whereas the compression of Non-ROI region is carried out by Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT) and Merge-based Huffman encoding (MHE) methods. As a main contribution, this paper intends to deploy the optimized filter coefficients in both DCT and DWT techniques. Here, the optimization of both filter coefficients is performed using Modified Rider Optimization Algorithm (ROA) called Improvised Steering angle and Gear-based ROA (ISG-ROA). In the final step, decompression is done by implementing the reverse concept of compression process with similar optimized coefficients. The filter coefficients are tuned in such a way that the Compression Ratio (CR) should be minimum. In addition, the comparative analysis over the state-of-the-art models proves the superior performance of the proposed model.

Abstract Nowadays, medical imaging and telemedicine are increasingly being utilized on a huge scale. The expanding interest in storing and sending medical images brings a lack of adequate memory spaces and transmission bandwidth. To resolve these issues, compression was introduced. The main aim of lossless image compression is to improve accuracy, reduce the bit rate, and improve the compression efficiency for the storage and transmission of medical images while maintaining an acceptable image quality for diagnosis purposes. In this paper, we propose lossless medical image compression using wavelet transform and encoding method. Basically, the proposed image compression system comprises three modules: (i) segmentation, (ii) image compression, and (iii) image decompression. First, the input medical image is segmented into region of interest (ROI) and non-ROI using a modified region growing algorithm. Subsequently, the ROI is compressed by discrete cosine transform and set partitioning in hierarchical tree encoding method, and the non-ROI is compressed by discrete wavelet transform and merging-based Huffman encoding method. Finally, the compressed image combination of the compressed ROI and non-ROI is obtained. Then, in the decompression stage, the original medical image is extracted using the reverse procedure. The experimentation was carried out using different medical images, and the proposed method obtained better results compared to different other methods.

Medical Image Compression

<span>The application of three-dimensional (3-D) medical image compression systems uses several building blocks for its computationally intensive algorithms to perform matrix transformation operations. Complexity in addressing large medical volumes data has resulted in vast challenges from a hardware implementation perspective. This paper presents an approach towards very-large-scale-integration (VLSI) implementation of 3-D Daubechies wavelet transform for medical image compression. Discrete wavelet transform (DWT) algorithm is used to design the proposed architectures with pipelined direct mapping technique. Hybrid method use a combination of hardware description language (HDL) and G-code, where this method provides an advantage compared to traditional method. The proposed pipelined architectures are deployed for adaptive transformation process of medical image compression applications. The soft IP core design was targeted on to Xilinx field programmable gate array (FPGA) single board RIO (sbRIO 9632). Results obtained for 3-D DWT architecture using Daubechies 4-tap (Daub4) implementation exhibits promising results in terms of area, power consumption and maximum frequency compared to Daubechies 6-tap (Daub6).</span>
