Recently, the wavelet transform has emerged as a cutting edge technology, within the field of image compression research. The basis functions of the wavelet transform are known as wavelets. There are a variety of different wavelet functions to suit the needs of different applications. Among the most popular wavelets are Haar, Daubechies, Coiflet and Biorthogonal, etc. The best wavelets (functions) for medical image compression are widely unknown. The purpose of this paper is to examine and compare the difference in impact and quality of a set of wavelet functions (wavelets) to image quality for implementation in a digitized still medical image compression with different modalities. We used two approaches to the measurement of medical image quality: objectively, using peak signal to noise ratio (PSNR) and subjectively, using perceived image quality. Finally, we defined an optimal wavelet filter for each modality of medical image.
