Abstract:

Ultrasound imaging is a widely used imaging system for medical diagnosis due to its safe and noninvasive nature. However, the presence of speckle noise in the ultrasound image degrades its usefulness. Speckle noise in US B –mode images appears as granular structure formed by constructive or destructive interference of back scattered echoes. Speckle noise causes to reduce image contrast and resolution, thereby reducing the diagnostic value of this technique. Several methods have been introduced for despeckling of ultrasound images. This paper presents a review on some significant works proposed for despeckling of medical ultrasound images.
