Abstract :
The feasibility of three specific coding schemes for compact storage or fast transmission of radiographic images is investigated. These schemes are: the synthetic high system, the block-coding system, and the run-length coding system. The last two techniques are used for encoding bit planes. The dependence of the compression ratio on image resolution and the feasibility of adaptive coding of bit planes are also examined.
