A Two Stage Low Complexity Lossless Coding Algorithm for Medical Images
Karthick Kumaran Ayyalluseshagiri Viswanathan
Abstract: Nowadays a large number of various medical images are generated from hospitals and medical centers with sophisticated image acquisition devices. This paper deals with the techniques to decrease the communication bandwidth and to save the transmitting power in wireless medical devices. Digital image consumes huge memory and thus digital image data compression is necessary in order to solve this problem. In medical applications such as disease diagnosis, the loss of information is unacceptable; hence medical images should be compressed lossless. Wireless medical devices injected into the body are battery operated devices and hence the lifetime of the battery should last for a long time. Complexity of the compression algorithm is directly related to the power consumption of the processor and hence there is a need for simple compression algorithms. We proposed 2 simple algorithms which can be combined together or used separately based on the necessity to address this requirement.
