MRI data compression using a 3-D discrete wavelet transform.

MRI data compression using a 3-D discrete wavelet transform.

A low-power system that can be used to compress MRI data and for other medical applications is described. The system uses a low power 3-D DWT processor based on a centralized control unit architecture. The simulation results show the efficiency of the wavelet processor. The prototype processor consu...
