Abstract
Aim: The aim of this study was to compare Discrete cosine transform and Shearlet transform for mammographic image compression and determine better transform among them. Materials and methods: Sample mammographic images were collected- DCT (30) and Shearlet (30) for compression. Compression ratio was calculated by comparing the original and compressed image size. The significance of the data were calculated using SPSS software. Result: There was a statistical significance between DCT and shearlet based compression ratio data (p=0.035) deviation independent sample t test). Conclusion: DCT based compression ratio was higher (2.41) than the shearlet transforms (0.73). Hence, proving to be a better compression transform than its counterpart (shearlet).
