“…This review is limited to telemedicine by means of satellite communications. More in-depth assessment of the definition and breadth of telemedicine can be found in several review and discussion references [ 390 , 386 , 337 , 393 , 441 , 383 , 352 , 353 ], some theoretical articles linking satellite communication with health [ 441 , 415 , 446 , 448 , 372 , 444 , 451 , 453 , 449 , 445 , 442 , 454 , 447 , 364 , 450 ], as well as country reports [ 330 , 387 , 322 , 378 , 343 , 355 , 359 , 325 , 321 , 399 ].…”

BackgroundSpace technology has an impact on many domains of activity on earth, including in the field of global health. With the recent adoption of the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals that highlight the need for strengthening partnerships in different domains, it is useful to better characterize the relationship between space technology and global health.ObjectiveThe aim of this study was to identify the applications of space technologies to global health, the key stakeholders in the field, as well as gaps and challenges.MethodsWe used a scoping review methodology, including a literature review and the involvement of stakeholders, via a brief self-administered, open-response questionnaire. A distinct search on several search engines was conducted for each of the four key technological domains that were previously identified by the UN Office for Outer Space Affairs’ Expert Group on Space and Global Health (Domain A: remote sensing; Domain B: global navigation satellite systems; Domain C: satellite communication; and Domain D: human space flight). Themes in which space technologies are of benefit to global health were extracted. Key stakeholders, as well as gaps, challenges, and perspectives were identified.ResultsA total of 222 sources were included for Domain A, 82 sources for Domain B, 144 sources for Domain C, and 31 sources for Domain D. A total of 3 questionnaires out of 16 sent were answered. Global navigation satellite systems and geographic information systems are used for the study and forecasting of communicable and noncommunicable diseases; satellite communication and global navigation satellite systems for disaster response; satellite communication for telemedicine and tele-education; and global navigation satellite systems for autonomy improvement, access to health care, as well as for safe and efficient transportation. Various health research and technologies developed for inhabited space flights have been adapted for terrestrial use.ConclusionsAlthough numerous examples of space technology applications to global health exist, improved awareness, training, and collaboration of the research community is needed.

“…SPIHT is proved to be the best. But for ROI-based compression computational complexity is also one of the important issues to be considered, while addressing real time applications (Bhaskaranarayana et al 2009); (Park & Park 2002). A new and simple algorithm as explained above is used to encode the image.…”

Many classes of images contain spatial regions which are more important than other regions. Compression methods capable of delivering higher reconstruction quality for important parts are attractive in this situation. For medical images, only a small portion of the image might be diagnostically useful, but the cost of a wrong interpretation is high. Hence, Region Based Coding (RBC) technique is significant for medical image compression and transmission. Lossless compression schemes with secure transmission play a key role in telemedicine applications that help in accurate diagnosis and research. In this paper, we propose lossless scalable RBC for Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine (DICOM) images based on Integer Wavelet Transform (IWT) and with distortion limiting compression technique for other regions in image. The main objective of this work is to reject the noisy background and reconstruct the image portions losslessly. The compressed image can be accessed and sent over telemedicine network using personal digital assistance (PDA) like mobile.

“…Finally the selected features are applied to SVM classifier used to classify the image into normal or abnormal. A Sivaramkrishnan [10] presented a novel based approach in which Fuzzy C-mean (FCM) clustering algorithm was used to find the centroids of cluster groups to obtained brain tumor patterns . It is also preferred as faster clustering by using this centroid point can be located easily.…”

Medical image process is that the most difficult and rising field currently now a day. Process of MRI pictures is one amongst the part of this field. This paper describes the projected strategy to find & extraction of tumour from patient's MRI scan pictures of the brain. This technique incorporates with some noise removal functions, segmentation and morphological operations that area unit the fundamental ideas of image process. Detection and extraction of tumor from MRI scan pictures of the brain is finished by victimization MATLAB software package
