Abstract:
1. A method for presenting a medical image with a suppression of noise, comprising: one-off calibrating a signal-dependent noise; separating a signal component and a noise component in the medical image; adapting the signal component and the noise component according to a set of parameters; composing the signal component for the medical image based on the adapted signal component; and presenting the medical image; decomposing the medical image into a bandpass image; measuring a strength of a local signal component in the bandpass image by a local signal estimator; adapting a strength of the local signal component depending on the measured strength of the local signal component and the calibrated noise; and reconstructing the medical image based on the adapted strength of the local signal component using an additive composition.
