Abstract

The ultrasound images, the speckle noise is inherent in medical ultrasound images and it is the cause of reduced contrast-to-noise ratio and resolution. The presence of speckle noise is not attractive because it reduces the image quality and affects the tasks of the individual interpretation and paper diagnosis. In this paper, we study various techniques to reduce speckle noise from ultrasound images Post acquisition method as the only scale spatial filtering method and multi-scale method.
