Modelling and Analysis of Hybrid Transformation for Lossless Big Medical Image Compression.

Due to rapidly developing technology and new research innovations, privacy and data preservation are paramount, especially in the healthcare industry. At the same time, the storage of large volumes of data in medical records should be minimized. Recently, several types of research on lossless medically significant data compression and various steganography methods have been conducted. This research develops a hybrid approach with advanced steganography, wavelet transform (WT), and lossless compression to ensure privacy and storage. This research focuses on preserving patient data through enhanced security and optimized storage of large data images that allow a pharmacologist to store twice as much information in the same storage space in an extensive data repository. Safe storage, fast image service, and minimum computing power are the main objectives of this research. This work uses a fast and smooth knight tour (KT) algorithm to embed patient data into medical images and a discrete WT (DWT) to protect shield images. In addition, lossless packet compression is used to minimize memory footprints and maximize memory efficiency. JPEG formats' compression ratio percentages are slightly higher than those of PNG formats. When image size increases, that is, for high-resolution images, the compression ratio lies between 7% and 7.5%, and the compression percentage lies between 30% and 37%. The proposed model increases the expected compression ratio and percentage compared to other models. The average compression ratio lies between 7.8% and 8.6%, and the expected compression ratio lies between 35% and 60%. Compared to state-of-the-art methods, this research results in greater data security without compromising image quality. Reducing images makes them easier to process and allows many images to be saved in archives.
