Watermark Compression in Medical Image Watermarking Using Lempel-Ziv-Welch (LZW) Lossless Compression Technique

In teleradiology, image contents may be altered due to noisy communication channels and hacker manipulation. Medical image data is very sensitive and can not tolerate any illegal change. Illegally changed image-based analysis could result in wrong medical decision. Digital watermarking technique can be used to authenticate images and detect as well as recover illegal changes made to teleradiology images. Watermarking of medical images with heavy payload watermarks causes image perceptual degradation. The image perceptual degradation directly affects medical diagnosis. To maintain the image perceptual and diagnostic qualities standard during watermarking, the watermark should be lossless compressed. This paper focuses on watermarking of ultrasound medical images with Lempel-Ziv-Welch (LZW) lossless-compressed watermarks. The watermark lossless compression reduces watermark payload without data loss. In this research work, watermark is the combination of defined region of interest (ROI) and image watermarking secret key. The performance of the LZW compression technique was compared with other conventional compression methods based on compression ratio. LZW was found better and used for watermark lossless compression in ultrasound medical images watermarking. Tabulated results show the watermark bits reduction, image watermarking with effective tamper detection and lossless recovery.     

Projection-Based Medical Image Compression for Telemedicine Applications

Recent years have seen great development in the field of medical imaging and telemedicine. Despite the developments in storage and communication technologies, compression of medical data remains challenging. This paper proposes an efficient medical image compression method for telemedicine. The proposed method takes advantage of Radon transform whose basis functions are effective in representing the directional information. The periodic re-ordering of the elements of Radon projections requires minimal interpolation and preserves all of the original image pixel intensities. The dimension-reducing property allows the conversion of 2D processing task to a set of simple 1D task independently on each of the projections. The resultant Radon coefficients are then encoded using set partitioning in hierarchical trees (SPIHT) encoder. Experimental results obtained on a set of medical images demonstrate that the proposed method provides competing performance compared with conventional and state-of-the art compression methods in terms of compression ratio, peak signal-to-noise ratio (PSNR), and computational time.     

Lossless Compression of Volumetric Medical Images with Improved Three-Dimensional SPIHT Algorithm

This article presents a lossless compression of volumetric medical images with the improved three-dimensional (3-D) set partitioning in hierarchical tree (SPIHT) algorithm that searches on asymmetric trees. The tree structure links wavelet coefficients produced by 3-D reversible integer wavelet transforms. Experiments show that the lossless compression with the improved 3-D SPIHT gives improvement about 42% on average over two-dimensional techniques and is superior to those of prior results of 3-D techniques. In addition, we can easily apply different numbers of decomposition between the transaxial and axial dimensions, which is a desirable function when the coding unit of a group of slices is limited in size.     

An Improved Medical Image Fusion Algorithm for Anatomical and Functional Medical Images

In recent years,many medical image fusion methods had been exploited to derive useful information from multimodality medical image data, but, not an appropriate fusion algorithm for anatomical and functional medical images. In this paper, the traditional method of wavelet fusion is improved and a new fusion algorithm of anatomical and functional medical images,in which high-frequency and low-frequency coefficients are studied respectively. When choosing high-frequency coefficients, the global gradient of each subimage is calculated to realize adaptive fusion,so that the fused image can reserve the functional information;while choosing the low coefficients is based on the analysis of the neighborbood region energy, so that the fused image can reserve the anatomical image＇ s edge and texture feature. Experimental results and the quality evaluation parameters show that the improved fusion algorithm can enhance the edge and texture feature and retain the function information and anatomical information effectively.
