Medical Image Processing is the technique of analysing medical image such as CT, MRI for diagnostic and treatment purpose. The role of image compression is vital in domain of tele medicine for storage and transmission of medical data. In this project transform domain based compression algorithm is employed for the efficient compression and transfer of medical data. The Discrete Cosine Transform (DCT) based fractal image compression algorithm is employed for real time CT medical image. The result is validated by performance metrics Peak Signal to Noise Ratio (PSNR) and compression ratio. The algorithm was developed in MATLAB 2010a.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
