ROI-based DICOM image compression for telemedicine

Abstract: 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 pla… Show more

“…The technology can be also further extended to long-term care and telemedicine use for patients in other distant places. In addition, the proposed clustering-based compression system can be investigated for a variety of assistive applications, such as long-term care and telecare, which is one of the recently popular applications (Bairagi and Sapkal, 2013;Shany et al, 2012). For example, it can be applied to transfer patients' information continuously by monitoring the specific symbols on the screens.…”

“…Algorithms which deliver lossless compression within the regions of interest (ROI) and lossy compression elsewhere in the image, might be the key to providing efficient and accurate image coding to the medical community. 29,30,31 Such algorithms are termed as near-lossless compression schemes. Another approach is to maximize the overall compression ratio by dividing the image into multiple ROI and then compressing each region separately with its own compression ratio, instead of transforming the whole image.…”

“…The author has termed the scheme as embedded zero tree wavelet algorithm which is completely motivated from progressive medical image compression technique. Study on similar direction was carried out by Bairagi et al [5], where the author has considered DICOM image and integer wavelet transform. The result was found with minimized distortion after applying compression technique on the non-cropped region of the complete medical images.…”
