Adaptive Rician denoising with edge preservation for MR images of the articular cartilage
TLDR
An adaptive filter with Brown–Forsythe statistical criterion has been implemented to avoid excessive filtering near the edges of the denoising procedure and showed improved image contrast with edge preservation ability.Abstract:
MR image offers better soft tissue contrast which makes it advantageous for cartilage diagnosis for patients suffering from Osteoarthritis. But magnitude MR images are susceptible to Rician noise w...read more

Automated and optimal detection of 3D articular cartilage using undecimated wavelets in MRI
Isshaa Aarya,Danchi Jiang +1 more
TL;DR: An automated cartilage detection technique using 3D histogram and wavelet multiscale singularity analysis and reduction in MSE for both denoised and noisy MRI volumes at different standard deviations of noise with overall improvement in SNR is proposed.

Edge localisation in MRI for images with signal‐dependent noise
TL;DR: A new edge localisation technique for step edges in images with signal dependent Rician noise in MRI is proposed, which uses higher-order moments of the noise function to determine the correction factor for localisation and reduces the overall mean square error for true edgeLocalisation due to noise.
Dissertation
3D medical image analysis using knee MRI
TL;DR: This thesis investigates the presence of Rician noise on MRI signal and proposes new imaging techniques to effciently reduce the effect of noise while retaining crucial edge information in addition to improving the overall signal content which will enable in improved cartilage detection and quantifcation.

Scale-space and edge detection using anisotropic diffusion
Pietro Perona,Jitendra Malik +1 more
TL;DR: A new definition of scale-space is suggested, and a class of algorithms used to realize a diffusion process is introduced, chosen to vary spatially in such a way as to encourage intra Region smoothing rather than interregion smoothing.

A non-local algorithm for image denoising
TL;DR: A new measure, the method noise, is proposed, to evaluate and compare the performance of digital image denoising methods, and a new algorithm, the nonlocal means (NL-means), based on a nonlocal averaging of all pixels in the image is proposed.
