Speckle Noise Reduction in B-mode Ultrasound Imaging
نویسنده
چکیده
Ultrasound is a widely used and safe medical diagnostic technique, due to low cost and capability of forming real time imaging. The usefulness of ultrasound imaging is degraded by the presence of signal dependant noise known as speckle. In this paper we make use of daubechies wavelet transformation, Wiener and employing an adaptive thresholding technique in order to improve the performance of this denosing approach the log transformed observation is separated into two images. The summation of these two images constructs the despeckled image. Keywords— DWT, US, TGC, MDWT, MRI

Nonlinear Diffusion based on Bayesian Estimator in Laplacian Pyramid Domain for Ultrasonic Speckle Reduction
Laplacian pyramid based nonlinear diffusion (LPND) method is proposed for speckle noise reduction in medical ultrasound imaging. In this method, speckle is removed by nonlinear diffusion filtering of bandpass ultrasound images in Laplacian pyramid domain. For nonlinear diffusion in each pyramid layer, a Bayesian threshold is automatically determined by a variation of robust median estimator. Th...
متن کاملSpeckle Reduction of Ultrasound B-mode Image using Patch Recurrence
In this paper, a novel speckle reduction method using the patch recurrence (SRPR) of the medical ultrasound B-mode image with the self-similarity is proposed. The SRPR utilizes the additive white Gaussian noise to model the speckle and provides the despeckled ultrasound B-mode image from the similar patches based on minimum mean square error estimation (MMSE). It also improves the performance o...
متن کاملAn Efficient Filtering Approach for Speckle Reduction in Ultrasound Images
Ultrasound (US) imaging is a valuable imaging technique for clinical diagnosis. It is noninvasive in nature and imaging the internal structure of the body to identify the probabilistic diseases or, abnormalities in tissues behavior. However, inherent response of speckle noise in US images limit the fine and edge details which affect the contrast resolution. This makes clinical diagnosis more di...
متن کاملSpeckle Noise Reduction in Ultrasound Images- A Review
Ultrasound imaging is a widely used and safe medical diagnostic technique, due to its non-invasive nature, low cost and capability of forming real time imaging. Ultrasound imaging uses high-frequency sound to image internal structures by differing reflection signals produced when a beam of sound is projected into the body and bounces back at interfaces between the structures. However the useful...
متن کاملA new Speckle Noise Reduction Technique to Suppress Speckle in Ultrasound Images
Medical images like ultrasound images are generally corrupted by speckle noise during their acquisition and transmission. The impact of speckle noise reduces the diagnostic value of the medical image modality. Thus, a speckle noise reduction technique is necessary for the suppression of noise and to retain the fine details from the corrupted image. In this article, a new speckle noise reduction...
