Abstract

This article investigates suitable compression methods for efficient storage and
processing of medical data. It is obvious that the diagnostics materials (mostly
as a ceratin type of image) are increasingly acquired in a digital format.
Therefore, common need to daily manipulate huge amount of data brought about the
issue of compression. Attention will be given to the processing flow which
exploits volumetric nature of medical data and appropriate coding scheme. The
final discussion outlines possible directions for future improvements of
compression ratio and processing speed.
