Abstract
Today the use of computers for handling image data in the healthcare field is growing. The CT and MR scan are the modern image generating techniques. Large amount of data is produced by these techniques. Due to the larger size, these images require a large storage space. This may be bottleneck of the system for the transmitting images over a channel with limited bandwidth especially for rural area. It is there for necessary to compress these medical images. Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine is the most comprehensive version of an imaging communications standard which is worldwide accepted in medical field. This paper looks into the technological issues that are of prime concern in the growth of telemedicine services and presents one of the efficient ways to compress the medical images.
