AbuBaker and Rami S.Qahwaji and Musbah J. Aqel and Mohmmad H. Saleh}, country = {}, institution = {}, abstract = {Two algorithms are proposed to reduce the storage requirements for mammogram images. The input image goes through a shrinking process that converts the 16-bit images to 8-bits by using pixel-depth conversion algorithm followed by enhancement process. The performance of the algorithms is evaluated objectively and subjectively. A 50% reduction in size is obtained with no loss of significant data at the breast region. }, journal = {International Journal of Bioengineering and Life Sciences}, volume = {1}, number = {3}, year = {2007}, pages = {175 - 182}, ee = {https://publications.waset.org/pdf/5200}, url = {https://publications.waset.org/vol/3}, bibsource = {https://publications.waset.org/}, issn = {eISSN: 1307-6892}, publisher = {World Academy of Science, Engineering and Technology}, index = {Open Science Index 3, 2007}, }
