A Comparative Study on Despeckling Techniques in Intravascular Ultrasound Images
Abstract Intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) imaging is a diagnostic imaging technique for tomographic visualization of coronary arteries and studying atherosclerotic diseases. These medical images are generally corrupted by multiplicative speckle noise due to the interference of the signal with the backscattered echoes. Speckle noise is an inherent property of medical ultrasound imaging, and it generally tends … Read more
