Medical Image Compression Using IIR Wavelet Filter Banks

 The proper utilization of digital medical imaging technology and applications requires image compression. The proposal in this paper is based on the IIR wavelet filter bank, and it suggests an image compression algorithm. The performance of the scheme has been measured using prescribed performance measures. The results demonstrate that the proposed method performs preferable compression than other compression methods. The results obtained are compared with wavelet-based filters bank in order to improve the compression using our approach. When compared to standard approaches, the results are quite excellent in terms of compression ratio and compressed image quality.
