Abstract

Speckle is a multiplicative noise which is inherent in medical ultrasound images. Speckles contributes high variance between neighboring pixels reducing the visual quality of an image. Suppression of speckle noise significantly improves the diagnostic content present in the image. In this paper, we propose how sparseland model can be used for speckle suppression. The performance of the model is evaluated based on variance to mean ratio of a patch in the filtered image. The algorithm is tested on both software generated images and real time ultrasound images. The proposed algorithm has performed similar to past adaptive speckle suppression filters and seems promising in improving diagnostic content.
