Claim 7:
8. A method comprising:
determining an entropy value associated with each of a plurality of voxels of a three-dimensional image;
for each of the plurality of voxels:
applying a filter to a value of a voxel to determine a replacement value for the voxel, wherein a first filter applied to a first value of a first voxel is determined based on a first entropy value associated with the first voxel, and a second filter applied to a second value of a second voxel is determined based on a second entropy value associated with the second voxel, the first filter being different from the second filter and the first entropy value being different from the second entropy value; and

generating a filtered three-dimensional image based on the replacement value of each of the plurality of voxels.
