Abstract: Medical images are generated by different medical imaging techniques require various compression techniques to reduce the storage space with considerable image quality. This paper presents the performance of two different compression techniques for images i.e. Singular Value Decomposition (SVD) using singular values and wavelet transform based progressive structure of Set Partitioning In Hierarchical Trees (SPIHT) to reduce the size of images for accurate diagnosis. These two techniques are practiced on medical images of MRI,CT images of brain and X-ray of hand, and the results of these techniques are compared. SVD with less singular value provides high Compression Ratio (CR) with less Peak Signal to Noise Ratio (PSNR), whereas wavelet based multi resolution SPIHT technique provides more PSNR with better CR. These two techniques are compared with the quality metrics of PSNR, Mean Squared Error (MSE), CR and Bit Per Pixels (BPP). From the results, Wavelet based progressive SPIHT technique provides high PSNR, low MSE with better CR compared to SVD technique.
