            Abstract : 
In this paper, we propose a new region-of-interest (ROI) coding method called fractal based JPEG2000 ROI coding for the further improvement of JPEG2000 used in mammograms. This method provides the advantage that it is not necessary for user to provide any ROI information before coding.
