摘要：Images are most widely used for radiological diagnosis in medical examinations. The presence of artifacts and noise in images causes the difficulty in medical diagnosis. The noises are generally occurred and corrupt an image during its acquisition or transmission. Image denoising is one of the popular methods with an aim of noise reduction to retain images quality. In this paper, Wavelet based noise reduction technique is proposed to improve image quality where thresholding and Nonlocal means algorithm are applied. The Noisy medical image is decomposed using DWT, where approximation part is filtered using Nonlocal means filter and detail parts are filtered by the thresholding. By using the level dependent, the wavelet coefficients are calculated using optimal linear interpolation shrinkage function. Denoised image is acquired using inverse DWT. The value of the peak signal to noise ratio (PSNR) is used as the measure of image visual quality.
