It allows the deep analysis and measurements of brain images in different modes. Brain images are compressed to analyze and diagnose in an effective manner while reducing the image storage space. This survey study describes the different existing techniques regarding brain image compression. The techniques come under different categories. The study also discusses these categories. %K Compression %K image compression %K pros and cons %K techniques %U http://maxwellsci.com/jp/abstract.php?jid=RJASET&no=241&abs=08
