Image enhancement methods are applied to medical images to reduce the noise that they
contain. There are many academic studies in the literature using classical image …

Speckle noise is a major problem in medical ultrasound imaging that reduces the image
quality and leads to a negative impact on further diagnosis. In this paper, aiming to alleviate …

The essential target of image enhancement is to minimize noise from a digital image by
keeping the intrinsic information of the image preserved. The main difficulty in image …

Speckle reduction is an important pre-processing stage for ultrasound medical image
processing. In this paper, an adaptive fuzzy logic approach for speckle noise reduction in …

The manuscript describes an ultrasound image segmentation technique based on the
fractional Brownian motion (FBM) model. Here, the ultrasound images are first enhanced …

In this paper, a modified linear-minimum-mean-square-error (LMMSE)-based estimator is
presented to reduce speckle noise in ultrasound (US) medical images. In order to …

Congenital heart defects (CHD) are one of the serious problems that arise during
pregnancy. Early CHD detection reduces death rates and morbidity but is hampered by the …

Ultrasound imaging is a fast, widespread, and essential diagnostic technique for examining
the body's internal anatomy to find abnormal tissues or diseases. However, speckle noise in …

Early detection of chronic kidney disease (CKD) stages is an important aspect of human
healthcare. Clinical approach for identification of CKD stage is expensive, time consuming …

Background Ultrasound is widely used for imaging due to its cost effectiveness and safety
feature. However, ultrasound images are inherently corrupted with speckle noise which …
