Abstract
In this paper, we introduce a novel approach to compress jointly a Multi-Channel Electrocardiogram (MCE) and an ultrasound image. We will show that this technique allows better performances, in terms of compression ratio (CR) compared to coding separately both modalities. In this approach, scaled ECG samples are inserted within the high frequencies of the ultrasound image after its decomposition on wavelet basis. The new standard JPEG2000 is then applied on the packed data for both coding and decoding purpose. Finally, the reconstruction quality is evaluated using the PSNR (Peak Signal Noise Ratio) and the PRD (Percent Root Mean Square Difference), respectively for both the ultrasound image and the ECG signals.
