Downsampling

When considering a sampled sequence with zero values between sampling instants, one can replace it by taking every N-th value of the sequence. At these integer multiples of N, the original and sampled sequences coincide. This process, known as decimation, involves extracting every N-th sample from a sequence, thereby creating a more efficient sequence.
The Fourier transform of the decimated sequence reveals a combination of scaled and shifted versions of the original spectrum. This...

Area of Science:

  • Medical imaging
  • Image compression
  • Digital signal processing

Background:

  • Medical imaging generates vast amounts of data, necessitating efficient compression methods.
  • Discrete Cosine Transform (DCT) is a widely used compression technique, but full-frame processing is computationally intensive.
  • Block-based processing is employed to manage the computational load of DCT.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To determine the optimal block size for Discrete Cosine Transform (DCT) based medical image compression.
  • To balance processing time, compression ratio, and reconstructed image quality for CT, ultrasound, and X-ray images.

Main Methods:

  • Investigated various block sizes for DCT compression of medical images.
  • Evaluated performance based on processing time, compression ratio, and reconstruction quality.
  • Utilized Benefit-to-Cost Ratio (BCR) and Reconstruction Quality Score (RQS) for quantitative comparison.

Main Results:

  • Experimental results indicate that a 16x16 block size offers the best trade-off between compression efficiency and image quality.
  • The 16x16 block size demonstrated optimal performance across CT, ultrasound, and X-ray image compression.

Conclusions:

  • The 16x16 block size is optimal for Discrete Cosine Transform (DCT) based compression of medical images.
  • This finding contributes to more efficient storage and transmission of critical diagnostic information in healthcare.
