Comparative Study on Filter Methods of Medical Ultrasound Images

Abstract:

This paper presents a comparative study on six despeckling methods such as modified hybrid median filter, gabor filter, speckle reducing anisotropic diffusion, homomorphic filter, non-local mean filter and squeeze box filter. We select eight objective evaluation parameters, such as signal-to-ratio, contrast signal–to–noise ratio, figure of merit, least absolute error, peak signal-to-noise ratio, edge protection factor, quantitative parameters of despeckling, signal-to-minimum mean square error ratio, to quantify the performance of these filters. The comparative study will provide a good guidance for selecting a suitable filter in the ultrasound image processing.
