Article Abstract
Aims And Objectives: The aim of the study is to compare the single matrix approach and slice-by-slice approach for computing singular value decomposition (SVD) to achieve near-lossless compression of PET/CT images.
Materials And Methods: The parameters used for comparison were SVD computation time, percentage compression and percentage difference between ROI counts on compressed and original images. SVD of 49 F-18-FDG PET/CT studies (33 370 PET/CT images) was computed using both approaches. The smaller singular values contributing insignificant information to the image were truncated, and then, the compressed image was reconstructed. A mask (101 × 101pixels) was used to extract the ROI counts from compressed and original images. Two nuclear medicine physicians compared compressed images with their corresponding original images for loss of clinical details and the presence of generated artifacts. Structural Similarity Index Measure, blur, brightness, contrast per pixel and global contrast factor were used for objective assessment of image quality. Wilcoxon test was applied to find a statistically significant difference between the parameters used for comparison at alpha = 0.05.
Results: Nuclear medicine physicians found compressed image identical to the corresponding original image. The values of comparation parameters were significantly larger for the single matrix approach in comparison with the slice-by-slice approach. The maximum percentage error between the compressed image and original image was less than 5%.
Conclusions: Up to 64 % and 44% near-lossless compression of PET and CT images were achieved, respectively using the slice-by-slice approach, and up to 58 and 53% near-lossless compression of PET and CT images were achieved respectively using the single matrix approach.

Introduction: Cholangiocarcinoma (CCA), a malignancy of the bile ducts, presents a significant health burden with a notably high prevalence in Northeast Thailand, where its incidence ratio is 85 per 100,000 population per year. The prognosis for CCA patients remains poor, particularly for proximal tumors, with a dismal 5-year survival rate of just 10%. The challenge in managing CCA is exacerbated by its typically late detection, contributing to a high mortality rate.

The acquisition of depth information sensorial data is critically important in medical applications, such as the monitoring of the elderly or the extraction of human biometrics. In such applications, compressing the stream of depth video data plays an important role due to bandwidth constraints on transmission channels. This paper introduces a novel lightweight compression system that encodes the semantics of the input depth video and can operate in both lossless and L-infinite near-lossless compression modes.

Electroencephalography (EEG) experiments typically generate vast amounts of data due to the high sampling rates and the use of multiple electrodes to capture brain activity. Consequently, storing and transmitting these large datasets is challenging, necessitating the creation of specialized compression techniques tailored to this data type. This study proposes one such method, which at its core uses an artificial neural network (specifically a convolutional autoencoder) to learn the latent representations of modelled EEG signals to perform lossy compression, which gets further improved with lossless corrections based on the user-defined threshold for the maximum tolerable amplitude loss, resulting in a flexible near-lossless compression scheme.

Recent advancements in hyperspectral imaging have significantly increased the acquired data volume, creating a need for more efficient compression methods for handling the growing storage and transmission demands. These challenges are particularly critical for onboard satellite systems, where power and computational resources are limited, and real-time processing is essential. In this article, we present a novel FPGA-based hardware acceleration of a near-lossless compression technique for hyperspectral images by leveraging a division-free quadrature-based square rooting method.

After a boom that coincided with the advent of the internet, digital cameras, digital video and audio storage and playback devices, the research on data compression has rested on its laurels for a quarter of a century. Domain-dependent lossy algorithms of the time, such as JPEG, AVC, MP3 and others, achieved remarkable compression ratios and encoding and decoding speeds with acceptable data quality, which has kept them in common use to this day. However, recent computing paradigms such as cloud computing, edge computing, the Internet of Things (IoT), and digital preservation have gradually posed new challenges, and, as a consequence, development trends in data compression are focusing on concepts that were not previously in the spotlight.
