Description:
During the last decade, image and signal compression for storage and
transmission purpose has seen a great expansion. But what about medical
data compression? Should a medical image or a physiological signal be
processed and compressed like any other data? The progress made in
imaging systems, storing systems and telemedicine makes compression in
this field particularly interesting. However, this compression has to
be adapted to the specificities of biomedical data which contain
diagnosis information.
As such, this book offers an overview of compression techniques applied
to medical data, including: physiological signals, MRI, X-ray,
ultrasound images, static and dynamic volumetric images.
Researchers, clinicians, engineers and professionals in this area,
along with postgraduate students in the signal and image processing
field, will find this book to be of great interest.
