Abstract

The invention relates to a method for the compression of data comprising values to be coded, in particular grey values or prediction errors using a run-length coding. A bit sequence of a bit plane which represents at least one item of partial information of at least one value to be coded is thereby coded coherently. This method is particularly used in connection with medical image data.
