Analysis of fractal image compression technique in different medical imaging modalities

Abstract

Need for compressing medical images is to reduce storage space newlineand transmission time and used bandwidth for voluminous medical images to newlineenable rapid browsing and retrieval of medical imagery from databases newlineImage compression techniques give a solution for storing the information in newlineas little space as possible by minimizing a graphics file in size to an newlineacceptable level of the quality newlineImage compression techniques are classified as either lossless newlinereversible or lossyirreversible compression methods Lossless newlinecompression schemes are invertible as the reconstructed image after newlinecompression is numerically identical to the original image Lossy newlineCompression methods are noninvertible and offer a tradeoff between newlinecompression speed compressed data size and quality loss newline newline
