LLRMA and KDE based Ultrasound Image Despeckling
The major issue associated with ultrasound imaging is that it may be corrupted by speckle noise during image acquicition. Speckle pattern is a form of multiplicative noise which blurs the ultrasound images. It reduces the contrast and resolution of ultrasound images which results in poor interpretation of image features. Hence speckle reduction is often used as a preprocessing step for successf...
متن کاملContrast Enhancement of Mammograms for Rapid Detection of Microcalcification Clusters
Introduction Breast cancer is one of the most common types of cancer among women. Early detection of breast cancer is the key to reducing the associated mortality rate. The presence of microcalcifications clusters (MCCs) is one of the earliest signs of breast cancer. Due to poor imaging contrast of mammograms and noise contamination, radiologists may overlook some diagnostic signs, specially t...
متن کاملA Systematic Approach for Despeckling of Medical Ultrasound Images
Ultrasound is a medical diagnostic technique that is widely used because of its low cost and capability of forming real time imaging. A major problem regarding ultrasound images is the corruption by speckle noise. In this paper, speckle noise is removed by the methods based on Hard Thresholding based on Curvelets and Spatial filtering techniques such as Sobel operator, prewitt operator, Lee fil...
متن کاملDespeckling of Ultrasound Medical Images: A Survey
Digital image acquisition and processing techniques plays important role in clinical diagnosis. Medical images are generally corrupted by noise during their acquisition and transmission. Removing noise from the original medical image is still a challenging problem for researchers. Ultrasound imaging is widely used for diagnosis over the other imaging modalities like Positron Emission Tomography...
متن کاملA Novel Approach for Despeckling of Ultrasound Images
Ultrasound imaging is a widely used medical imaging modality. But the major issue with ultrasound images is the presence of speckle noise, which is an inherent limitation of ultrasound images. This research work focuses on speckle noise reduction in ultrasound images. Various predefined techniques for despeckling are studied thoroughly and a novel approach is proposed. In addition, comparison o...
