Near-lossless compression of medical images through entropy-coded DPCM

Abstract: The near-lossless, i.e., lossy but high-fidelity, compression of medical Images using the entropy-coded DPCM method is investigated. A source model with multiple contexts and arithmetic coding are used to enhance the compression performance of the method. In implementing the method, two different quantizers each with a large number of quantization levels are considered. Experiments involving several MR (magnetic resonance) and US (ultrasound) images show that the entropy-coded DPCM method can provide compressi… Show more

“…Intensive applications can be found in telephony, digital systems, video signals, or image processing [1], [25] and in the medical domain; for instance, magnetic resonance or ultrasound images can be coded using DPCM [2]. This is largely because DPCM is based on the fact that most signals, such as images and speech or video signals, show significant correlation between successive samples.…”

“…It is clear that PSNR and Δ are inversely proportional to each other for all channels. (Chen and Ramabadran 1994) suggest the minimum PSNR of 40-50 db in their research, hence, quantization steps in Figure 4 should be less than 30.…”

“…Allowing a certain distortion in the reconstructed imageÎ leads to a higher compression performance. Near-lossless compression was introduced for applications that require a tight bound in the l ∞ norm, like remote sensing [1] or medical imaging [2], where a large error in a pixel could potentially induce a wrong classification or diagnosis. Near-lossless techniques bound the l ∞ norm -also known as peak absolute error (PAE) or Maximum Absolute…”
