Medical imaging has started to take advantage of digital technology  opening the way for advanced medical imaging and teleradiology. Medical images  however  require large amounts of memory. At over 1 million bytes per image  a typical hospital needs a staggering amount of memory storage (over one trillion bytes per year)  and transmitting an image over a network (even the promised superhighway) could take minutes - too slow for interactive teleradiology. This calls for image compression to reduce significantly the amount of data needed to represent an image. Several compression techniques with different compression ratio have been developed. However  the lossless techniques  which allow for perfect reconstruction of the original images  yield modest compression ratio  while the techniques that yield higher compression ratio are lossy  that is  the original image is reconstructed only approximately Medical imaging poses the great challenge of having compression algorithms that are lossless (for diagnostic and legal reasons) and yet have high compression ratio for reduced storage and transmission time. To meet this challenge  we are developing and studying some compression schemes  which are either strictly lossless or diagnostically lossless  taking advantage of the peculiarities of medical images and of the medical practice. In order to increase the Signal to-Noise Ratio (SNR) by exploitation of correlations within the source signal  a method of combining differential pulse code modulation (DPCM) is presented.

An increasing number of medical imagery is created directly in digital form. Such as Clinical image Archiving and Communication Systems (PACS). as well as telemedicine networks require the storage and transmission of this huge amount of medical image data. Efficient compression of these data is crucial. Several lossless and lossy techniques for the compression of the data have been proposed. Lossless techniques allow exact reconstruction of the original imagery while lossy techniques aim to achieve high compression ratios by allowing some acceptable degradation in the image. Lossless compression does not degrade the image  thus facilitating accurate diagnosis  of course at the expense of higher bit rates  i.e. lower compression ratios. Various methods both for lossy (irreversible) and lossless (reversible) image compression are proposed in the literature. The recent advances in the lossy compression techniques include different methods such as vector quantization  wavelet coding  neural networks  and fractal coding. Although these methods can achieve high compression ratios (of the order 50:1  or even more)  they do not allow reconstructing exactly the original version of the input data. Lossless compression techniques permit the perfect reconstruction of the original image  but the achievable compression ratios are only of the order 2:1  up to 4:1. In our paper  we use a kind of lifting scheme to generate truly loss-less non-linear integer-to-integer wavelet transforms. At the same time  we exploit the coding algorithm producing an embedded code has the property that the bits in the bit stream are generated in order of importance  so that all the low rate codes are included at the beginning of the bit stream. Typically  the encoding process stops when the target bit rate is met. Similarly  the decoder can interrupt the decoding process at any point in the bil stream  and still reconstruct the image. Therefore  a compression scheme generating an embedded code can start sending over the network the coarser version of the image first  and continues with the progressive transmission of the refinement details. Experimental results show that our method can get a perfect performance in compression ratio and reconstructive image.
