Region of interest coding of volumetric medical images

چکیده
Three-dimensional wavelet coding of volumetric medical images provides better coding performance compared to corresponding 2D methods by exploiting the inter-slice correlation that exists in such data. It introduces however latencies when it comes to transmitting specific parts of the volume. This paper presents an extension to 3DSPlHT which allows 3D Region of Interest (ROI) coding. ROI coding enables faster reconstmction of diagnostically useful regions in volumetric datasets by assigning higher priority to them in the bitstream. It also introduces the possibility for increased compression performance, by allowing certain parts of the volume to be coded in a lossy manner while others are coded losslessly. The necessary modifications to 3D-SPIHT for ROI coding are described and methods for specifying a 3D ROI without adding a significant overhead are suggested. Results are presented highlighting the benefits of the ROI extension.

Region of interest coding in volumetric images with shape-adaptive wavelet transform
We evaluated some arbitrary-shape ROI (Region of Interest) coding techniques for three-dimensional volumetric images, and through the observation we propose a flexible ROI coding with efficient compression performance. In arbitrary-shape ROI coding, the object in an image is coded with higher fidelity than the rest of the image, together with the shape information, which indicates the region of...

Medical imaging poses the great challenge of having compression algorithms that are lossless for diagnostic and legal reasons and yet provide high compression rates for reduced storage and transmission time. The images usually consist of a region of interest representing the part of the body under investigation surrounded by a ”background”, which is often noisy and not of diagnostic interest. I...
