Lossless Compression of Volumetric Medical Data
نویسندگان
چکیده
Medical imaging applications produce large sets of similar images. Thus a compression technique is useful to reduce space storage. Lossless compression methods are necessary in such critical applications. Volumetric medical data presents strong similarity between successive frames. In this paper we investigate predictive techniques for lossless compression of video sequences applied to volumetric data. We also make a comparative study with other existing compression techniques dedicated to volumetric data.

A Quadtree-based Progressive Lossless Compression Technique for Volumetric Data Sets
An efficient technique for progressive lossless compression of volumetric data is described. It is based on the quadtree data structure and exploits the expected similarities between the neighboring slices. The proposed approach has better compression ratio than the octree method. A small amount of memory is required since only two slices need to be located in the memory at a time, which makes ...
متن کاملPredictive Coding Integer-Based Wavelet Transform Approach to Diagnostically Lossless Medical Image Volume Compression
Homogeneous data in radiological image databases consumes an extraordinary amount of storage space. An example of this is the multiple voxels representing different cross sections of a body part being imaged, which are referred to as volumetric data sets. Lossless compression algorithms are imperative for efficient storage and transmission of volumetric data sets. This paper presents a diagnost...

By exploiting these properties of the data, the algorithm can efficiently comp...
متن کاملScalable compression of volumetric images
An important problem in medical imaging is that of ef cient volumetric image compression. In addition to compression ef ciency, scalable representations which allow access to the data at various qualities up to and including lossless reproduction are particularly important. Also important is the ability to access local regions of the volumetric data set or to alter the delity or resolution with...
متن کاملLossless Volumetric Medical Image Compression with Progressive Multi-planar Reformatting Using 3-d Dpcm
In this paper, we propose a novel lossless volumetric medical image compression scheme using three-dimensional differential pulse code modulation (3-D DPCM), which provides an efficient procedure to achieve progressive multi-planar reformatting (MPR) of large 3-D medical data sets. Being separable and commutative in the order of its application, 3-D DPCM provides an opportunity to generate MPR ...
