Abstract:
Speckle noise is a common issue in coherent imaging systems arising as an unwanted artifact during the image formation process. Addressing speckle reduction holds significant importance, particularly in ultrasound imaging. The presence of speckles in ultrasound images degrades image quality, posing challenges for human interpretation and diagnostic analysis. Numerous techniques have been proposed for mitigating speckle noise. This paper provides an overview of the updated speckle noise reduction models, along with various filters commonly employed for speckle reduction in ultrasound images. Given the prevalence of speckle noise in ultrasound imaging, it becomes crucial to denoise ultrasound images before extracting regions of interest. Accurate detection of regions is paramount, as the final segmentation results rely on it.
