A multimedia remote ultrasound image transfer system for tole-medical services was implemented. The image data of the ultrasound scanner system of the slave is compressed using image compression system. It is transferred to the master PC via ISDN UNI(User-Network Interface) and decompressd by image decompression system. The total system is composed of three parts; first, the image capture card which transfers bidirection- al data between ultrasound scanner system and PC, second, image compression and decompression card, finally, ISDN TA(Terminal Adaptor) card for transferring the image. This system has a easy user interface because it is executed on the basis of MS-WINDOWS. So it is capable of serving medical services at a remote place.

As computer systems to make medical practice easy are widely used, a special hardware system processing medical data fast becomes more important. To meet the urgent demand for high speed image processing, especially image compression and decompression, we designed and implemented the medical image CODEC (COder/BECoder) based on MISD(Multiple Instruction Single Data stream) architecture to adopt parallelism in it. Considering not being a standart scheme of medical mage compression/decompress ion, the CODEC is designed programable and general. In this paper, we use JPEG (Joint Photographic Experts Group) algorithm to process images fast and evalutate it.

In this paper, a particular application of digital photos, remote sensing, remote shooting air moving, high-resolution and high compression of medical images required by remote shooting of JPEG2000 standard applied in the field of hardware design, production was implemented. JPEG2000 standard for image compression using the software implementation of the processing speed is very slow compared to conventional JPEG disadvantages, and also the standard of JPEG2000 DWT (Discrete wavelet transform) to improve the level of compression for image data if processing speed is a phenomenon that has degraded. In order to solve these JPEG2000 compression / decompression groups were designed and applied. In this paper, the optimal JPEG2000 compression / reservoir hardware by changing the level for still image compression, faster computation speed and quality has shown improvement.

본 논문에서는 영상에서 국부적 중복성과 전역적 중복성을 생기게 하는 두 가지 특성인 완만함과 유사성에 대해서 연구하였다. 완만함은 주어지 s한화소 주위의 화소 값들을 갑자기 변화되지 않고 서로 상관관계를 가지면서 점차적으로 변화한다는 것이다. 유사성은 한 영상내의 어떤 패턴들이 영상의 나머지 부분에서 반복된다는 것이다. 이런 관점에서 두 가지 중복성을 이용하여 무손실 의료 영상압축 방법을 제안한다. 제안한 방법은 간단한 알고리즘을 이용하여 영상을 가변 블록으로 분할한 후, 각 블록의 특성에 따라 부호화를 행한다. 제안한 의료 영상 압축 방법은 기존의 무손실 압축방법인 허프만 부호화, 산술 부호화, 램펠 - 지브 부호화, HINT, 하나의 예측기를 이용한 무손실 방법인 JPEG보다 10~40[%] 정도의 압축률이 개선되었다.

Compression of magnetic resonance images (MRI) has proved to be more difficult than other medical imaging modalities. In an average sized hospital, many tora bytes of digital imaging data (MRI) are generated every year, almost all of which has to be kept. The medical image compression is currently being performed by using different algorithms. In this paper, Fuzzy C-Means (FCM) algorithm is used for the Vector Quantization (VQ). First, a digital image is divided into subblocks of fixed size, which consists of 4${\times}$4 blocks of pixels. By performing 2-D Discrete Cosine Transform (DCT), we select six DCT coefficients to form the feature vector. And using FCM algorithm in constructing the VQ codebook. By doing so, the algorithm can make good time quality, and reduce the processing time while constructing the VQ codebook.

A three dimensional fractal coding with a perceptually enhanced matching is proposed. Since most of medical images (e.g. computed tomography or magnetic resonance image) have three dimensional character, the searching region is extended to adjacent slices. For perceptually enhanced matching, a high frequency booster filter is used for prefiltering of the original image, and the least mean square error matching is applied to this edge enhanced image rather than the original image. From the simulation with the magnetic resonance images ($255{\times}255$, 8bits/pixel). the proposed algorithm provides excellent image quality with compression rations higher than 10. Compared to existing fractal coding the algorithm also provides better subjective image quality with higher compression ratio.

A Study of Image Compression Algorithm using DCT This paper describes the system that implement a JPEG(Joint Photographic Experts Group) algorithm based on DCT(Discrete Cosine Transform) uslng CCD kameva, Image Grabber, and IBM PC. After cosine transforms the acquisited image, this algorithm quantize and entropy encode the coefficients by JPEG code table. The coefficients are reconstructed by the Huffman decoding, dequantized procedure, and Inverse cosine transform. The results obtained from the impleulented system are as follows. (1) For effcient storage and easy implementation, this system save Image as a PCX formal (2) Thls system get 7:1 compression ratio(3.8 RMSE value) without large distortion. (3) With a low pass filtering, thls system eliminate high frequency components and get 20% enhanced compression ratio. (4) Thls system enhance the reconstructed Image using histogram modeling.

A new three dimensional fractal coding is proposed with a perceptually enhanced matching. Since most of medical images (e.g. computed tomoyaphy or magnetic resonance images) have three dimensional characters, searching regions are extended to adjacent slices. For a perceptually enhanced matching, a high frequency boost filter is used for pre-filtering images to be encoded, and a least mean square error matching is applied to the edge enhanced Images rather than the original images. From simulation with magnetic resonance images($255\times255$, 8bits/pixel), reconstructed images by the proposed compression algorithm show much improved subjective image quality with higher peak signnal-to-noise ratio compared to those by existing fractal coding algorithms at compression ratios of about 10.

Heart related special images are classified as Cardiac US, XA, CT, MRI. Several Problem is caused by image compression, control and medical support point, so most big hospitals have created a Cadiac PACS differentially in past years. For this reason, create a conflict in inner colleague and patient, protector that result from 2 data processing server operating independently in 1 medical center area. For this reason, we sugges an alternative model of best medical control process together with understand the current situation on medical facility.

본 연구는 타 병원 전원 시 발급받는 의료영상이 서로 다른 소프트웨어를 사용하는 경우 PACS상의 영상화질에 영향을 미칠 수도 있다는 점을 착안하였다. A 대학병원 영상을 DICOM 파일로 복사하여 B 대학병원 PACS상에 등록하였고 해당 대학병원에서 사용하는 소프트웨어의 압축에 따른용량과 화질을 SNR, CNR, 히스토그램을 통해 평가하였다. 압축률이 커질수록 SNR, CNR은 떨어졌고, 주목할 점은 No Compression에 비해 Lossless Compression은 용량은 1/2로 줄었지만 SNR, CNR은 변화가 없었다. 히스토그램은 압축률이 높아질수록 언더플로우 현상에 의한 정보손실이 눈에 띄게 나타났다. 타 병원 전원 시 병원마다 다른 시스템을 사용하기 때문에, 압축하여 영상을 등록하면 영상의 화질이 저하되고 정보량이 손실되므로 비압축 또는 무손실 압축방식을 사용해야 한다. 결론적으로 업로드 시 대기시간과 경제적 효율성을 고려하면, 무손실 압축방식 사용이 유용하다.
