A Comparative Analysis of Noise Reduction Filters in MRI Images

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Abstract Post inheritance denoising of magnetic resonance (MR) images is of emphatic for clinical diagnosis and computerized decisive test, such as tissue classification and segmentation. It has been exposed that when signal to noise ratio (SNR) is low, the noise in MR magnitude images follows a Rician distribution, which is signal dependent. It is particularly difficult to remove the random fluctuations and bias introduced by Rician noise. To analyze the noise free signal from MR magnitude images is the objective of this paper. We model images as random fields and predict that pixels which have similar burst adjacent to the same distribution. I have compared the NLML and Bilateral method for Rician noise reduction in MR images. We recommend a iterative bilateral filter (IBLF) estimation method for Rician noise reduction. This method returns an optimal estimation result that is more accurate in recovering the true signal from Rician noise than NLML means algorithm in the manner of SNR, contrast, and method error. We manifest that NLML performs better than the traditional local maximum likelihood (LML) estimation method in conserving and defining sharp tissue boundaries in terms of well-defined sharpness metric while also having superior performance in method error.
