Abstract
In this paper, we undertake the development and performance evaluation of a parallel system for the compression of medical images. The system under study consists of a network of workstations running a parallel implementation of a wavelets compression software. Different data distribution and synchronization strategies are evaluated aiming to minimize the system response time. Numerical results of the different strategies under investigation are provided
