In this manuscript, a technique for speckle noise reduction in ultrasound images is presented. The method exploits Wiener filter and is able to take into account spatial correlation among noise samples. With respect to classical Wiener filter approach developed in independence hypothesis, the methodology is able to sensibly improve filtering performances, at the cost of no computational time increase.

Abstract

In this manuscript, a technique for speckle noise reduction in ultrasound images is presented. The method exploits Wiener filter and is able to take into account spatial correlation among noise samples. With respect to classical Wiener filter approach developed in independence hypothesis, the methodology is able to sensibly improve filtering performances, at the cost of no computational time increase. Results on realistic simulated datasets are reported, showing the effectiveness of the approach.
