INTRODUCTION Medical imaging as the name suggests is the
technique and process used to create images of parts and functions of human body for clinical purposes.
It is a medical procedure seeking to reveal, diagnose or examine disease. [1]
There are two types of medical imaging, they are- Invisible light medical imaging- radiology /clinical
imaging
Visible light medical imaging- involves digital video or still pictures that can be seen without special equipment.
IMAGING TECHNOLOGIES Radiology: [2]Two forms of radiographic images are in use in medical imaging; projection radiography and fluoroscopy.

MAGNETIC RESONANCE IMAGING AND FIDUCIARY MARKERS A magnetic resonance imaging instrument, uses powerful
magnets to polarise and excite hydrogen nuclei in water molecules in human tissue, producing a detectable signal which is spatially encoded, resulting in images of the body. [3]
Fiduciary MarkersFiduciary markers are used in a wide range of medical imaging applications. Images of the same subject produced with two different imaging systems may be correlated by placing a fiduciary marker in the area imaged by both systems. [4]
Figure 3: Fiducial Marker Example

PHOTO-ACOUSTIC IMAGING AND TOMOGRAPHY Photo acoustic imaging is a recently developed hybrid
biomedical imaging modality based on the photo acoustic effect. [5]
Tomography is the method of imaging a single plane, or slice, of an object resulting in a tomogram. [5]

CREATION OF THREE-DIMENSIONAL IMAGES
Recently, techniques have been developed to enable CT, MRI and ultrasound scanning software to produce 3D images for the physician. [6]
To produce 3D images, many scans are made, then combined by computers to produce a 3D model, which can then be manipulated by the physician.
Other proposed or developed techniques include: Diffuse optical tomography Elastography Electrical impedance tomography Optoacoustic imaging Ophthalmology
COMPRESSION OF MEDICAL IMAGES JPEG 2000 is the state-of-the-art image
compression DICOM standard for storage and transmission of medical images. [7]

COMPRESSION OF MEDICAL IMAGES
JPIP (JPEG 2000 Interactive Protocol) is a compression streamlining protocol that works with JPEG 2000 to produce an image using the least bandwidth required. [9]
JPIP has the capacity to download only the requested part of a picture, saving bandwidth, computer processing on both ends, and time. [10]

NON-DIAGNOSTIC IMAGING (NEUROIMAGING) Neuroimaging has also been used in experimental
circumstances to allow people to control outside devices, acting as a brain computer interface. [12]
Neuroimaging falls into two broad categories:• Structural imaging• Functional imaging which is used to diagnose
metabolic diseases and lesions on a finer scale (such as Alzheimer's disease)

PROPOSED WORK This project introduces the concept of medical imaging and
divulges into its technologies like MRI, tomography, ultrasound etc. It will also compare the compression techniques of medical imaging i.e. JPEG2000 and JPIP on the basis of their bit rates, SSIM index [14], and complexity.
This project proposes to demonstrate creation of 3D images of CT/MRI scan from a normal 2D image. It also shows some circumstances of neuroimaging i.e non-diagnostic medical imaging as in Figure 6.
