Medical images are digital representations of the body. Medical imaging technology has improved tremendously in the past few decades. The amount of diagnostic data produced in a medical image is vast and as a result could create problems when sending the medical data through a network. To overcome this, there is a great need for the compression of medical images for communication and storage purposes. This chapter contains an introduction to compression types, an overview of medical image modalities, and a survey on coding techniques that deal with 3D medical image compression.

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.

Medical image compression plays a vital role in diagnosis of diseases which allowing manipulation, efficient, transmission and storage of color, binary and grayscale image. Before transmission and storage, a medical image may be required to be compressed. The objective of the study is to develop an efficient and effective technique for digital medical images which alleviates the blocking artifacts from grayscale image while retaining all relevant structures. In this paper, we demonstrate a highly engineered postprocessing filtering approach has been designed to remove blocking effects from medical images at low bit rate. The proposed technique is comprised of three strategies i.e. 1) a threshold valve scheme which is used to capture the pixel vectors containing blocking artifacts. 2) Blocking artifacts measurement techniques. The blocking artifacts are measured by three frequency related modes (low, Moderate and high frequency model). 3)  A directional filter which is used to remove over-smoothing and ringing artifacts near edges of block boundary. The algorithm is tested on digital medical grayscale images from different modalities. The experimental results illustrate that the proposed technique is more efficient on the basis of PSNR-B, MSSIM, and MOS indices than the state-of-the-art methods. The proposed algorithm can be seamlessly applied in area of medical image compression which high transmission efficiency and acceptable image quality can be guaranteed.

<p>Medical imaging is a growing field due to the development of digital technologies that produce 3D and even 4D data. The counterpart to the resolution offered by these voluminal images resides in the amount of gigantic data, hence the need for compression. This article presents a new coding scheme dedicated to 3D medical images. The originality of our approach lies in the application of the Quinqunx wavelet transform coupled with the SPIHT encoder on a database of medical images. This approach achieves much higher compression rates, while maintaining a very acceptable visual quality.</p>

Today digital imaging is widely used in every application around us like Internet, High Definition TeleVision (HDTV), satellite communications, fax transmission, and digital storage of movies and more, because it provide superior resolution and quality. Recently, medical imaging has begun to take advantage of digital technology, opening the way for advanced medical imaging and teleradiology. However, medical imaging requires storing, communicating and manipulating large amounts of digital data. Applying image compression reduces the storage requirements, network traffic, and therefore improves efficiency. This chapter provides the need for medical image compression; different approaches to image compression, emerging wavelet based lossy-lossless compression techniques, how the existing recent compression techniques work and also comparison of results. After completing this chapter, the reader should have an idea of how to increase the compression ratio and at the same time maintain the PSNR level compared to the existing techniques, desirable features of standard compression techniques such as embededness and progressive transmission, how these are very useful and much needed in the interactive teleradiology, telemedicine and telebrowsing applications.

Among the many categories of images that require lossless compression, medical images can be indicated as one of the most important category. Medical image compression with loss impairs of diagnostic value, therefore, there are often legal restrictions on the image compression with losses. Among the common approaches to medical image compression we can distinguish the transformation-based and prediction-based approaches. This paper presents algorithms for the prediction based on the edge detection and estimation of local gradient. Also, a novel prediction algorithm based on advantages of standardized median predictor and gradient predictor is presented and analyzed. Removed redundancy estimation was done by comparing entropies of the medical image after prediction.

<span>In the high-tech world, medical imaging is very important to diagnose and analyze illness inside human body. The increasing number of patients annually has continuously growth the amount of medical imaging data generated and directly causes a demand for data storage. Generally, medical images are rich with data, where these data are important for diagnosing purpose. However, some of the data represents redundant information and sometimes can be discarded. Thus, the research area on medical image compression dealing with three-dimensional (3-D) modalities need to be given more attention and exploration. The algorithm development using wavelet transform with software implementation are the famous topics explored among researchers, whilst fewer works have been done in utilizing curvelet transform in medical image compression. Along with that, very limited hardware implementation of 3-D medical image compression is discovered. In term of performance evaluation, most of the previous works conducted objective test compared with subjective test. To fill in this gap, medical image compression system will be reviewed, with the aim to identify the recent method used in medical image compression system. This paper thoroughly scrutinizes the recent advances in medical image compression mainly in terms of compression method, algorithm development with software and hardware implementations and performance evaluation. In conclusion, the overall picture of the medical image compression landscape, where most of the researchers more focused on algorithm development or software implementations without having the combination of software and hardware implementations.</span>

Image compression helps to save the utilization of memory, data while transferring the images between nodes. Compression is one of the key technique in medical image. Both lossy and lossless compressions where used based on the application. In case of medical imaging each and every components of pixel is very important hence its nature to chose lossless compression medical images. MRI images are compressed after processing. Here in this paper we have used PPMA method to compress the MRI image. For retrieval of the compressed image content clustering method used.
