    This study introduces a novel anisotropic diffusion filter for ultrasound image speckle reduction. The new method improves image quality by reducing spurious edges and oversmoothing, enhancing diagnostic accuracy.

    Area of Science:

    • Medical Imaging
    • Image Processing
    • Computational Science

    Background:

    • Anisotropic diffusion filters are effective for speckle reduction in ultrasound images.
    • Existing methods struggle with edge preservation, leading to oversmoothing or spurious edges, compromising diagnostic quality.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To propose a novel anisotropic diffusion-based filter for enhanced speckle reduction in ultrasound images.
    • To improve diagnostic image quality by addressing limitations of existing speckle reduction techniques.

    Main Methods:

    • A novel anisotropic diffusion filter utilizing edge probability density function and pixel relativity information to control diffusion flux.
    • Filtering performed in the superpixel domain to optimize execution time.
    • Evaluation using synthetic and real ultrasound images, comparing against state-of-the-art filters.
