A New Filtering Technique for denoising Speckle Noise from Medical Images Based on Adaptive and Anisotropic Diffusion Filter
Journal Title: International Journal of Research in Computer and Communication Technology - Year 2013, Vol 2, Issue 9
Abstract
This is a preliminary study and the objective of this study has been to compare the performance of some of the primitive and fundamentally different post acquisition image enhancement algorithms as applied to different ultrasound (US) images. Such a comparison would help to decide as to which algorithm could be useful for clinicians, and in evaluating the role of different US images enhancement in a soft-copy environment. In this study, 3 types of US images (Liver, kidney & Abdomen) were taken, and 5 fundamentally different and widely employed image enhancement techniques were applied on these images. As the principal objective of image enhancement is to obtain an image with a high content of visual detail, a multipoint rank-order method was used to identify small differences or trends in observations. Among the different algorithms, the proposed modified anisotropic diffusion filtering outperformed than other techniques.
