Medical image compression by discrete cosine transform spectral similarity strategy.

Due to bandwidth and storage limitations, medical images must be compressed before transmission and storage. However, the compression reduces the image fidelity, especially when the images are compressed at low bit rates. The reconstructed images suffer from blocking artifacts and the image quality...
