Ultrasound Image Denoising by Spatially Varying Frequency Compounding
Ultrasound images are very noisy. Along with system noise, a significant noise source is the speckle phenomenon, caused by interference in the viewed object. Most past approaches for denoising ultrasound images essentially blur the image, and they do not handle attenuation. Our approach, on the contrary, does not blur the image and does handle attenuation. Our denoising approach is based on fre...
متن کاملRapid Image Registration for 3d Ultrasound Compounding
A Subvolume-based algorithm for Ultrasound REgistration (SURE) has been developed and tested using artificially deformed in vivo ultrasound scans. SURE works in two stages, using MIAMI Fuse[1-2] software to determine a global, affine registration in the first stage before iteratively dividing the volume into subvolumes and computing local rigid registrations in the second stage. Connectivity of...
متن کاملSpatial Compounding of 3-D Ultrasound Images
One of the most promising applications of 3-D ultrasound lies in the visualisation and volume estimation of internal 3-D structures. Unfortunately, the quality of the ultrasound data can be severely degraded by artifacts, especially speckle, making automatic analysis of the 3-D data sets very di cult. In this paper we investigate the use of 3-D spatial compounding to reduce speckle. We develop ...
متن کاملSpace variant ultrasound frequency compounding based on noise characteristics.
Ultrasound images are very noisy. Along with system noise, a significant noise source is the speckle phenomenon caused by interference in the viewed object. Most of the past approaches for denoising ultrasound images essentially blur the image and they do not handle attenuation. We discuss an approach that does not blur the image and handles attenuation. It is based on frequency compounding, in...
متن کاملOF ENGINEERING 3 D Freehand Ultrasound : Reconstruction and Spatial Compounding
A dissertation submitted to the University of Cambridge for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. Summary In 3D freehand ultrasound, a position sensor is attached to a conventional ultrasound probe so that a set of 2D B-scans are acquired along with their relative locations. This allows the set of B-scans to be reconstructed into a regular 3D voxel array for visualisation and analysis. This thesi...
