Medical Imaging is an important keystone of modern healthcare and will continue to play a role of ever increasing importance at all levels of the healthcare system due to advances in imaging technology (US,CT, MR and Molecular Imaging). Since the medical image data is increasing day by day, compression is needed to achieve efficient transmission and storage. Different compression techniques are compared and applied to diverse ultrasound images. Clinicians who are using ultrasound transducer or probe for diagnosis needs a better quality image for better observation so that they can analyze the disorder of structure and steer medication. From the results it is observed that Wavelet based compression offers better image appearance with Gamma and Log compression techniques.
