Rapid Extraction and Compression of DICOM Data for Medical Image Geometric Modeling

Article Preview

Abstract:

This paper presents a method of extracting and compressing required data from the DCM file for medical image geometric modeling. According to the characteristics of DICOM data, combining the idea of run-length coding with block coding, the rapid data compression and storage in RAM was realized finally. Compared with other coding methods, the encoding approach for DICOM data in this paper, not only saves the memory space and improves transmission efficiency, but also can read the required a single pixel, or part of pixel data from the compressed data conveniently.
