A De-Noising Method for Medical Ultrasonic Image Based on ROF Decomposition and Adaptive Wavelet Threshold

Article Preview

Abstract:

There are always lots of speckle noises in medical ultrasonic images because of the imaging mechanism of it. These speckle noises significantly reduce the clarity of the image and as a result, cause great difficulties in ultrasound diagnosis. To solve this problem, this paper presents a new de-noising method for medical ultrasonic image based on ROF model and adaptive wavelet threshold de-noising method. In addition to inhibiting the speckle noises in the medical ultrasonic image, this method can retain and even enhance the image detail information as much as possible.
