A near lossless Region of Interest(ROI)compression algorithm based on the shearlet transform was proposed for medical images to improve the Mean Structural SIMilarity(MSSIM) between the original image and the reconstructed image. Firstly
the ROI was designated in a medical image and the rests were regard as the Background (BG). Then
the ROI and BG were transformed into shearlet domains respectively
and the significant coefficients which could approximate the original region accurately were selected to be denoised and compressed. Furthermore
the main coefficients in ROI were coded by lossless Huffman coding and those in BG were quantized and coded by Huffman coding. Finally
the reconstructed image was obtained by Huffman decoding and inverse shearlet transform. Experiment results show that the MSSIM and Peak Signal Noise Ratio (PSNR) between the original ROI and the reconstructed image RIO obtained by the new algorithm has increased by 4 percent and 135 percent respectively as compared to the modified Set Partitioning in Hierarchical Trees (SPIHT) algorithm with the same compression ratio. Moreover
for the whole image
the MSSIM and PSNR increased by 3 percent and 28 percent, respectively. With configurable ROIs and BGs quality
the proposed algorithm is suitable for the medical image compression in the Picture Archiving and Communication System(PACS).
