Medical image transmission on low-speed networks

Image Transmission in Low-Power Networks in Mobile Communications Channel

This paper studies a vital issue in wireless communications, which is the transmission of images over Wireless Personal Area Networks (WPANs) through the Bluetooth network. It presents a simple method to improve the efficiency of error control code of old Bluetooth versions over mobile WPANs through Interleaved Error Control Code (IECC) technique. The encoded packets are interleaved by simple b...

Optimization of Energy Consumption in Image Transmission in Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) using a Hybrid Method

In wireless sensor networks (WSNs)‎, ‎sensor nodes have limited resources with regard to computation‎, ‎storage‎, ‎communication bandwidth‎, ‎and the most important of all‎, ‎energy supply‎. ‎In addition‎, ‎in many applications of sensor networks‎, ‎we need to send images to a sink node‎. ‎Therefore‎, ‎we have to use methods for sending images in which the number and volume of packets are optim...

Adaptive Transmission of Medical Image and Video Using Scalable Coding and Context-Aware Wireless Medical Networks

The aim of this paper is to present a novel platform for advanced transmission of medical image and video, introducing context awareness in telemedicine systems. Proper scalable image and video compression schemes are applied to the content according to environmental properties (i.e., the underlying network status, content type, and the patient status). The transmission of medical images and vi...

GPU Based High Speed Error Protection for Watermarked Medical Image Transmission

Low-Bitrate Medical Image Compression

Medical imaging is an important element in the medical diagnostic process. However, storing medical images in a certain format is quite challenging. The size of a digital medical image is in the range of 3–32 MB per examination, depending on the imaging modality. Image compression will be a suitable solution when it comes to minimizing the size of stored medical images. The quest to find a comp...
