Abstract
In this paper, we propose a coding method to improve compression efficiency for MR image. This can be achieved by combining coding and segmentation scheme which removes noisy background region, which is meaningless for diagnosis, in MR image. The wavelet coder encodes only diagnostically significant foreground regions refering to segmentation map. Our proposed algorithm provides about 15% of bitrate reduction when compared with the same coder which is not combined with segmentation scheme. And the proposed scheme shows better reconstructed image Qualify than JPEG at the same compression ratio.
