Abstract

In medical image processing, medical images are corrupted by different type of noises. It is very important to obtain precise images to facilitate accurate observations for the given application. Removing of noise from medical images is now a very challenging issue in the field of medical image processing. Most well known noise reduction methods, which are usually based on the local statistics of a medical image, are not efficient for medical image noise reduction. This paper presents an efficient and simple method for noise reduction from medical images. In the proposed method median filter is modified by adding more features. Experimental results are also compared with the other three image filtering algorithms. The quality of the output images is measured by the statistical quantity measures: peak signal-to-noise ratio (PSNR), signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and root mean square error (RMSE). Experimental results of magnetic resonance (MR) image and ultrasound image demonstrate that the proposed algorithm is comparable to popular image smoothing algorithms.

Key words: Magnetic resonance image; Ultrasound image; PSNR; SNR; RMSE.
