%X Recently, the wavelet transform has emerged as a cutting edge technology, within the field ofimage compression research. Telemedicine, among other things, involves storage andtransmission of medical images, popularly known as Teleradiology. Due to constraints onbandwidth and storage capacity, a medical image may be needed to be compressed beforetransmission/storage. This paper is focused on selecting the most appropriate wavelettransform for a given type of medical image compression. In this paper we have analyzed thebehavior of different type of wavelet transforms with different type of medical images andidentified the most appropriate wavelet transform that can perform optimum compression for agiven type of medical imaging. To analyze the performance of the wavelet transform with themedical images at constant PSNR, we calculated SSIM and their respective percentagecompression.
