Effective Crypto-compression Scheme for Medical Images

Abstract: The use of telecommunications and information technologies in the medicine sector were evolved breathtakingly last years. This involves the developpement of the applications bound to the telemedicine. Seen the importance of this discipline in the improvement of the care quality, the reduction of treatment costs, and in the universalization of the medical practices and knowledges, the optimization of medical related applications remains a necessity. In this meaning, we propose in this work an efficient scheme for the transmission and the storage of medical images. This scheme is applied to the on line medical folder sector that is, currently, one of the most potential sector in telemedecine. A new approach concerning the integration of the partial encryption in compression algorithms based on the RLE encoding technique, will be presented and developed.
