Abstract :
Volume data sets are becoming increasingly large and numerous with advances in acquisition methods and in computers. To date, the most commonly used lossless compression software for volume data sets are Lempel-Ziv-based applications designed for text compression. We present an improved lossless volume compression algorithm based on Lempel-Ziv ´77
