    Area of Science:

    • Medical Imaging
    • Artificial Intelligence
    • Signal Processing

    Background:

    • Ultrasound (US) image quality is vital for clinical diagnosis.
    • Speckle noise is a primary cause of US image degradation.
    • Existing deep learning methods struggle to preserve boundary contrast during denoising.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To propose a novel wavelet-based generative adversarial network (GAN), WGAN-DUS, for real-time, high-quality ultrasound image reconstruction.
    • To address the limitations of current methods in preserving boundary contrast while removing speckle noise.
    • To develop an effective method for ultrasound image despeckling and feature preservation.

    Main Methods:

    • Developed a novel wavelet-based generative adversarial network (GAN) named WGAN-DUS.
    • Introduced a batch normalization module (BNM) for sub-band feature fusion.
    • Integrated a wavelet reconstruction module (WRM) with wavelet residual channel attention blocks (WRCAB).
    • Employed a gradual tuning strategy for generator fine-tuning.
    • Designed a wavelet-based discriminator and a comprehensive loss function.
    • Developed an algorithm for estimating noise levels in real ultrasound images.

    Main Results:

    • WGAN-DUS effectively suppresses speckle noise while preserving fine image details and boundary contrast.
    • The proposed method demonstrated superior performance across natural, synthetic, simulated, and clinical ultrasound images compared to existing methods.
    • The network achieved real-time processing capabilities for ultrasound image despeckling.
    • Extended application to uterine fibroid segmentation using denoised images showed feasibility and generalization.

    Conclusions:

    • WGAN-DUS offers a significant advancement in ultrasound image denoising, overcoming limitations of previous deep learning approaches.
    • The method is feasible and generalizable for clinical applications, enhancing diagnostic accuracy through high-quality, real-time image reconstruction.
    • Preservation of fine details and boundary contrast is a key advantage for improved medical image analysis.
