Abstract :
We propose an image compression algorithm for the progressive transmission of medical images. Our algorithm permits the user to interactively specify arbitrary portions of a medical image for transmission at various levels of resolution up to lossless. The algorithm is adaptive and is based on quadtree segmentation followed by entropy coding
