An approach to integer wavelet transform for medical image compression in PACS

We study an approach to integer wavelet transform for lossless compression of medical image in medical picture archiving and communication system (PACS). By lifting scheme a reversible integer wavelet transform is generated, which has the similar features with the corresponding biorthogonal wavelet transform. Experimental results of the method based on integer wavelet transform are given to show better performance and great applicable potentiality in medical image compression.
