Non-Local Means Denoising of Dynamic PET Images
OBJECTIVE Dynamic positron emission tomography (PET), which reveals information about both the spatial distribution and temporal kinetics of a radiotracer, enables quantitative interpretation of PET data. Model-based interpretation of dynamic PET images by means of parametric fitting, however, is often a challenging task due to high levels of noise, thus necessitating a denoising step. The obje...
متن کاملNon-Local Means Denoising
We present in this paper a new denoising method called non-local means. The method is based on a simple principle: replacing the color of a pixel with an average of the colors of similar pixels. But the most similar pixels to a given pixel have no reason to be close at all. It is therefore licit to scan a vast portion of the image in search of all the pixels that really resemble the pixel one w...
متن کاملFast Non Local Means Denoising for 3D MR Images
One critical issue in the context of image restoration is the problem of noise removal while keeping the integrity of relevant image information. Denoising is a crucial step to increase image conspicuity and to improve the performances of all the processings needed for quantitative imaging analysis. The method proposed in this paper is based on an optimized version of the Non Local (NL) Means a...
متن کاملComparative Study of Non-local Means and Fast Non –local Means Algorithm for Image Denoising
Visual information transmitted in the form of digital images is becoming a major method of communication in the modern age. All digital images contain some degree of noise. Removing noise from the original signal is still a challenging problem for researchers. In this paper, the non-local denoising approach presented by Buades et al. is compared and analyzed by Fast nonlocal means algorithm. Th...
متن کاملDenoising of highly accelerated real-time cardiac MR images using extended non-local means
Introduction: Real-time cardiac MRI may be a powerful technique to assess myocardial function, especially to overcome gating difficulties in patients with arrhythmias, dyspnea or in pediatrics [1]. However, despite improvements in technology and sequences, standard real-time MRI often suffers from compromised spatiotemporal resolution. To achieve high temporal resolution (e.g. compatible with p...
