In order to increase compression rate for higher transmission and storage capability, a partial compression scheme based on ROI and non-ROI was employed. A manual segmentation technique to separate ROI and non-ROI for thousands of images are impractical, hence in this study an automated brain segmentation technique was developed to work with a PCA compression scheme. Non-ROI region will be compressed by PCA compression while ROI region will be preserved. The segmentation technique specifically tailored for brain segmentation has successfully separate ROI and non-ROI regions and results indicate that image quality is higher for image undergo the proposed model compared with image without ROI segmentation.} }
