Medical Image Compression of Dental X-Ray Image Using Biorthogonal Wavelet Transform in MATLAB

Images require substantial digitization of data and increasing use of telemedicine, most of the image  data  in  hospitals  are  stored  in  digital  form  using  picture  archiving  and  communication systems. The  need  for  data  storage  and  bandwidth  requirements  is  increasing  and  wavelet compression techniques have become a necessity. The successful use of the wavelet transform in the  field  of  image  compression  has  been  extensively  studied Joint Photographic Experts Group  (jpeg) in medical image(teeth).The  main  objective  is  to  investigate  the  still  image  compression  and  de-noising  of a  gray  scale  image  using  wavelet  theory  at  different  decomposition  and  threshold  levels.  The wavelet    analysis    is    the   most    recent    analyzing    tool.    The   medical image compression (dental x-ray image) using biorthogonal wavelet family is implemented in software using MATLAB7.5 version Wavelet Toolbox technique.
