Scatterer Density in Edge and Coherence Enhancing Nonlinear Anisotropic Diffusion for Medical Ultrasound Speckle Reduction
This paper proposes new enhancement models to the methods of nonlinear anisotropic diffusion to greatly reduce speckle and preserve image features in medical ultrasound images. By incorporating local physical characteristics of the image, in this case scatterer density, in addition to the gradient, into existing tensorbased image diffusion methods, we were able to greatly improve the performanc...
متن کاملNonlinear 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 کاملRestoration of Ultrasound Images by Nonlinear Scale{space Filtering
The quality of ultrasound images is limited by granular speckle noise. This paper presents two nonlinear restoration methods based on multiscale signal decomposition. Initially, signal{dependent multiplicative speckle noise is transformed to additive noise by a logarithm point operation. Rectangular coordinates are obtained by a polar coordinate transform of the sector image. The lateral distor...
متن کاملSpeckle Reduction for Automated Breast Ultrasound
This paper compares filtering methods for automated breast ultrasound images. The Perona-Malik diffusion filter, the diffusion stick filter and a simple median filter are evaluated as preprocessing methods for segmentation and characterization of lesions in breast ultrasound. In particular, preservation of small relevant image features, edge enhancement characteristics, and computational costs ...
متن کاملSpeckle Noise Reduction for the Enhancement of Retinal Layers in Optical Coherence Tomography Images
Introduction One of the most important pre-processing steps in optical coherence tomography (OCT) is reducing speckle noise, resulting from multiple scattering of tissues, which degrades the quality of OCT images. Materials and Methods The present study focused on speckle noise reduction and edge detection techniques. Statistical filters with different masks and noise variances were applied on ...
