This study introduces a fast, lossless compression method for medical images using Differential Pulse Code Modulation and Huffman coding. The new algorithm achieves high compression ratios efficiently, outperforming existing JPEG and JPEG2000 methods.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Imaging
  • Image Compression
  • Digital Signal Processing

Background:

  • Lossless compression is crucial for medical imaging to preserve diagnostic information.
  • Existing methods like JPEG and JPEG2000 have limitations in speed or compression efficiency for medical data.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a novel, fast, and lossless compression scheme for medical images.
  • To improve compression ratios while maintaining image integrity.
  • To offer a computationally efficient alternative to current standards.

Main Methods:

  • A two-stage compression approach was implemented.
  • Stage 1: Differential Pulse Code Modulation (DPCM) for data decorrelation.
  • Stage 2: Huffman coding for efficient encoding of residual data, optimizing the coding table.
