Description

During the last decade, image and signal compression for storageand transmission purpose has seen a great expansion. But what aboutmedical data compression? Should a medical image or a physiologicalsignal be processed and compressed like any other data? Theprogress made in imaging systems, storing systems and telemedicinemakes compression in this field particularly interesting. However,this compression has to be adapted to the specificities ofbiomedical data which contain diagnosis information. As such, this book offers an overview of compression techniquesapplied to medical data, including: physiological signals, MRI,X-ray, ultrasound images, static and dynamic volumetricimages. Researchers, clinicians, engineers and professionals in this area,along with postgraduate students in the signal and image processingfield, will find this book to be of great interest.
