Abstract

Medical images carry huge and vital information. It is necessary to compress the medical images without losing its vital-ness. Wavelet transform is preferable in the field of compression because of much more information of image can be retraced by it than any other transform. There are varieties of wavelets available but always there is a question in designers mind about which type of wavelet should I select for my design? Here we have focused on the selection of wavelet for compression of medical images. Various wavelets have been used for compression and we have done quality analysis on reconstructed image. Based on results we have found out the best suitable wavelet for medial image compression.
