Abstract - The medical image processing process is one of
the most important areas of research in medical
applications in digitized medical information. A medical
images have a large sizes. Since the coming of digital
medical information, the important challenge is to care for
the conduction and requirements of huge data, including
medical images. Compression is considered as one of the
necessary algorithm to explain this problem. A large
amount of medical images must be compressed using
lossless compression. This paper proposes a new medical
image compression algorithm founded on lifting wavelet
transform CDF 9/7 joined with SPIHT coding algorithm, this
algorithm applied the lifting composition to confirm the
benefit of the wavelet transform. To develop the proposed
algorithm, the outcomes compared with other compression
algorithm like JPEG codec. Experimental results proves that
the anticipated algorithm is superior to another algorithm
in both lossy and lossless compression for all medical images
tested. The Wavelet-SPIHT algorithm provides PSNR very
important values for MRI images.

1. INTRODUCTION:
While transferring the medical images from one place to
another place, reducing memory space and the speed of
transmission are the two vital factors. Medical images are
generally larger in size and the main challenge is to deal
with the storage and transmission requirements of huge
data Compression is the technique to overcome this
challenge. In medical image compression we needs to
preserve the exact data of the original image as much as
possible. Hence, an efficient, high-speed/high resolution
image compression technique became the focus in the
research field of medical image compression [5].In case of
remote diagnosis and treatment of patients by means of
telecommunication technology such as medicine where
the images of patients acquired are to be transmitted in
compressed form on a constant bit rate channel from one
site to the other the accuracy becomes very much
important because tumours in the CT scan, fractures in X-
rays if wrongly diagnosed may result in the adverse effect
on the patients health. In such cases, the need for rapid
and precise diagnosis and the drawbacks of bandwidth of
the communications medium may need the use of efficient
compression technique [4]. Compression is of two types,
one is the Lossless compression that has the ability to
reconstruct the exact original data from the data that is
compressed and the image quality is not much decreased
and the other is the Lossy compression where the exact
original image cannot be obtained back from the
compressed data and the image quality is somewhat
decreased. Some of the Lossless compression techniques
are: Huffman coding, Arithmetic coding, Run Length
Encoding, Dictionary coders etc., and some of the Lossy
compression techniques are: JPEG coding, DCT coding,
KLT coding etc., HWT is a simplest transform that is hand
calculative. It is considered to be a prototype for studying
more sophisticated wavelets that divides a image into sub-
bands through averaging and deducting method.
Compression techniques like EZW and SPIHT are
considered to be the benchmark techniques in the field of
compression. Besides, better compression and better
image quality, the bit stream can be truncated at any point
[3]. In SPIHT algorithm aspect many researchers proposed
various modifications to improve performance of SPIHT.
In this algorithm it mainly aims for better PSNR values [2].
Hybridizing the compression techniques provides still
good results. HWT and SPIHT algorithm techniques are
the most efficient algorithms in the field of image
compression. The proposed paper describes algorithm for
implementation of techniques like HWT and Modified
Stripe logic based Parallel SPIHT.
1.1 Wavelet Transforms:
The wavelet transform (WT), in general, produces floating
point coefficients. Although these coefficients are used to
reconstruct an original image perfectly in theory, the use
of finite precision arithmetic and quantization result a
lossy scheme.
1.2 Lifting Scheme of Wavelet Transform:The Wim
Sweldens76 developed the lifting scheme for the
construction of biorthogonal wavelets. The main feature of
the lifting scheme is that all constructions are derived in
the spatial domain. It does not require complex
mathematical calculations that are required in traditional
methods. Lifting scheme is simplest and efficient
algorithm to calculate wavelet transforms. It does not
depend on Fourier transforms. Lifting scheme is used to
generate second-generation wavelets, which are not
necessarily translation and dilation of one particular

function. It was started as a method to improve a given
discrete wavelet transforms to obtain specific properties.
Later it became an efficient algorithm to calculate any
wavelet transform as a sequence of simple lifting steps.
1.3 Introduction to SPIHT: This page presents the
powerful wavelet-based image compression method called
Set Partitioning in Hierarchical Trees (SPIHT). This award-
winning method has received worldwide acclaim and
attention since its introduction in 1995. Thousands of
people, researchers and consumers alike, have now tested
and used SPIHT. It has become the benchmark state-of-
the-art algorithm for image compression. The SPIHT
method is not a simple extension of traditional methods
for image compression, and represents an important
advance in the field. The method deserves special
attention because it provides the following:
Highest Image Quality
Progressive image transmission
Fully embedded coded file
Simple quantization algorithm
Fast coding/decoding
Completely adaptive
Lossless compression
Exact bit rate coding
Error protection
Each of these properties is discussed below. Note that
different compression methods were developed
specifically
to achieve at least one of those objectives. What makes
SPIHT really outstanding is that it yields all those qualities
simultaneously. So, if in the future you find one method
that claims to be superior to SPIHT in one evaluation
parameter (like PSNR), remember to see who wins in the
remaining criteria.

2. SPIHT ALGORITHM
A. DESCRIPTION OF THE PROPOSED ALGORITHM:Aim of
the proposed algorithm is to obtain high peak signal to
noise ratio.The SPIHT image coding algorithm was
developed by Said and Pearlman in 1996. SPIHT algorithm
is another more efficient implementation of the embedded
zero tree wavelet (EZW) algorithm by Shapiro. SPIHT
achieves better performance by exploiting the spatial
dependencies of the wavelet coefficients in different sub
bands. SPIHT captures the current bit-plane information of
all the wavelet coefficients and organizes them into three
ordered lists:
1. List of significant coefficients (LSC).
2. List of insignificant coefficients (LIC).
3. List of insignificant sets of coefficients (LIS).
LSC constitutes the coordinates of all coefficients which
are significant. LIS contains the roots of insignificant sets
of coefficient. They can be two different types; the first
type known as TYPE A has all the descendants
insignificant within a given bit-plane, the second type
known as TYPE B excludes the four children of the root
node. Finally, LIC contains a list of all the coefficients that
do not belong to either LIS or LSC and are insignificant.
The operation of SPIHT can be grouped into three
sequential steps: initialization, sorting pass (SP) and
refinement pass (RP) & threshold update. 1) Initialization:
The initial threshold is set to 2^log2(max(|Ci,j|), where
max(|Ci,j|) is the largest wavelet coefficient. The algorithm
starts at the coarsest band in the sub band pyramid. All the
coefficients in the sub band are added to the LIC and the
coefficients with descendants (tree roots) are added as to
LIS as TYPE A. Thus, during initialization, every coefficient
is initialized to an insignificant state. 2) Sorting pass: At
each threshold level, the LIC is coded first, followed by the
entries in LIS. A given entry in LIC is tested and moved to
LSC if found significant. The sign bit of the significant
coefficient is also immediately coded. The LIS entries are
coded quite differently. For a TYPE A LIS entries, if any
member in the hierarchical tree is found to be significant,
the immediate children are tested and are added to either
LIC or LSC. The parent is added to the end of LISas a TYPE
B entry or removed from the LIS if it does not have any
grandchildren. For TYPE B entries, if any member in the
hierarchical tree is found to be significant, the immediate
children are removed and added as TYPE A entries to the
end of LIS. Processing continues till the end of LIS is
reached. SP also records the position of the coefficients
that are found significant during the current pass. 3)
Refinement pass and threshold update: Refinement pass
adds precision to the LSP entries obtained before the
current sorting pass by outputting the most significant bit
corresponding to the existing threshold. On completion of
the refinement, the threshold is halved and the cycle is
repeated starting from step 2.

SPIHT algorithm is used and at a given bit-rate, the
subjective visual first-rate is advanced to a certain volume.
At the identical time, because of the ignoring of
unimportant information scanning, simplest 25% data
changed into handled. The reminiscence has been saved
and the coding efficiency is been improved. In conclusion,
the set of rules may be broadly used within the memory-
restricted and real time situations. In addition, DWT and
Lifting Wavelet rework are in comparison via the usage of
SPIHT algorithm for Compression Ratio (CR), Peak Signal-
to-Noise Ratio (PSNR) and encoding and decoding time.
Higher PSNR is performed in Lifting scheme in comparison
to DWT. This SPIHT algorithm performs fast compression
and decompression, saves lot of bandwidth, enables rapid
transmission and requires less storage memory. The
SPIHT algorithm can be carried out to warm research
fields such as scientific discipline, communication area and
so on. In which speedy transmission of photograph file
from one vicinity to any other can be achieved through
preserving fine of photograph identical.

4. Conclusion: We have demonstrated the outstanding
efficiency of the LWT-SPIHT image compression solution.
Our simulations confirm the proposed ideas of proper
wavelet filters usage. The fact that LWT were able to
perform best results among all tested wavelet families and
types has been expected. It is interesting to observe how
the decomposition depth influences the final image
quality. We have also measured algorithm complexity in
terms of elapsed compression time and we found that
SPIHT coding results are very unpredictable in that sense.
In the future much more effort must be emerged in order
to make the codec more resilient against bit or
synchronization errors, which should be quite a
challenging task in order to keep the embedded character
of the bit stream together with the progressive behavior.
