Novel Fast Haar Wavelet Transform for Brain Image Compression Using Spiht Algorithm

A combination of image compression techniques has been extended to compress medical images. Due to the widespread usage of data about patients and medical images like CT and MR scan, these medical imagery needs to store for a extensive period for the constant monitoring of the patients and the volume of data correlated with images is large and it occupies massive storage ability. Also doctors send those images to other place using electronic media. So, the medical images need to be compressed to condense the storage charge and for transmit them without any loss. In this study combination of Modified Fast Haar Wavelet Transform (MFHWT) and Set Partitioning in Hierarchical Trees (SPIHT) method has developed for compression of Brain images. Region of Interest (ROI) on the choosing segment will not only give the quality but also diagnosis without any degradable information from an image. The performance of the compression method is estimated using the parameters ( MSE, PSNR,CR) and accomplished improved result compared to other existing methods. As a result, by using our method, we can prevail over the constraints in storage and transmission of medical images.
