Abstract:

Ultrasound medical imaging has been widely applied in clinic diagnoses because of its real-time, non-invasiveness and convenience. However, it suffers from severe speckle noises. Until now, a lot of filtering algorithms have been proposed, but none of them is satisfactory. In this paper, four nonlinear filter methods, based on median filter, wavelet decomposition and anisotropic diffusion, are systematically reviewed. Finally, the prospect of the nonlinear filtering method is discussed.

Ultrasonography

Ultrasonography is an imaging technique that uses high-frequency sound waves to visualize the body's internal structures. It is a non-invasive and safe procedure that does not involve the use of ionizing radiation, making it widely used in various medical fields. Ultrasonography is used to study heart function, blood flow in the neck or extremities, certain conditions such as gallbladder disease, and fetal growth and development.
During an ultrasonography procedure, a handheld device called a...
