Abstract

For the effective management of medical images, it becomes popular to use computing machines in medical practice, namely PACS. However, the amount of image data is so large that there is a lack of storage space. We usually use data compression techniques to save storage, but the process speed of machines is not fast enough to meet surgical requirement. So a special hardware system processing medical images faster is more important than ever. To meet the demand for high speed image processing, especially image compression and decompression, we designed and implemented the medical image CODEC (COder/DECoder) based on MISD (Multiple Instruction Single Data stream) architecture to adopt parallelism in it. Considering not being a standard scheme of medical image compression/decompression, the CODEC is designed programable and general. In this paper, we use JPEG (Joint Photographic Experts Group) algorithm to process images and evalutate the CODEC.
