چکیده

Ultrasound imaging is the most commonly used imaging system in medical field. Main problem related to this imaging technique is introduction of speckle noise, thus making the image unclear. The success of ultrasonic examination depends on the image quality which is usually retarded due to speckle noise. There have been several techniques for effective suppression of speckle noise present in ultrasound images. This paper presents a review of some significant work carried out for despeckling of ultrasound images.

Wavelet Thresholding Techniques in Despeckling of Medical Ultrasound Images

Abstract— This paper presents a review of wavelet thresholding techniques for despeckling of medical ultrasound images. An ultrasound image is first transformed into wavelet domain and then the wavelet coefficients are processed by different wavelet thresholding techniques. The denoised image is obtained by taking the inverse wavelet transform of the modified wavelet coefficients. The performan...

Despeckling 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...

A 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...

Speckle Reducing Contourlet Transform for Medical Ultrasound Images

Speckle noise affects all coherent imaging systems including medical ultrasound. In medical images, noise suppression is a particularly delicate and difficult task. A tradeoff between noise reduction and the preservation of actual image features has to be made in a way that enhances the diagnostically relevant image content. Even though wavelets have been extensively used for denoising speckle ...

An adaptive window hybrid median filter for despeckling of medical ultrasound images

Speckle is a random multiplicative noise which obscures the perception and extraction of fine details in ultrasound image and despeckling is necessary for better diagnosis. The main aim of despeckling is to keep the important features such as edges of the ultrasound image. In this paper an adaptive window hybrid median filter is proposed for despeckling of medical ultrasound images. In the prop...
