Area of Science:

  • Medical Imaging
  • Data Compression
  • Telecommunications

Background:

  • Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine (DICOM) is the standard for medical image exchange.
  • Increasing data volumes from medical devices necessitate efficient data handling.
  • Compression of non-pixel data within DICOM has been largely overlooked.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the potential for compressing non-pixel attributes in DICOM datasets.
  • To evaluate the feasibility of bandwidth savings for medical data transmission.

Main Methods:

  • Analysis of a large corpus of real-world DICOM images.
  • Examination of non-pixel data for compression opportunities.

Main Results:
