Advances in medical image compression : novel schemes for highly efficient storage, transmission and on demand scalable access for 3D and 4D medical imaging data

Three dimensional (3D) and four dimensional (4D) medical images are increasingly being used in many clinical and research applications. Due to their huge file size, 3D and 4D medical images pose heavy demands on storage and archiving resources. Lossless compression methods usually facilitate the acc...
