Abstract :
It is not acceptable to use loss less techniques when compressing medical image data, and as a result, it is difficult to achieve high compression ratios. We have developed a novel segmentation based compression scheme to overcome this problem and our experimental results indicate that this scheme is capable of achieving a high level of compression without sacrificing the quality of the patient data.
