Understanding Medical Image Denoising, Enhancement, and Reconstruction
Article Information
Abstract
Medical imaging is an essential and valuable tool in modern medicine for providing essential details on the internal structures and functioning of the human body. Although very useful, the raw images obtained from medical imaging systems usually contain different types of artifacts and noise that might hide some essential diagnostic information. In this paper, the author details the conventional and non-conventional methods as well as sophisticated deep learning research methods used in improving the quality of healthcare images. The paper also delves into strategies designed to elevate the visual quality and interpretability in medical diagnostics. The paper includes some latest case studies to illustrate the usefulness of these strategies in the clinical context. This is classically imclinically importantportant because of the blend between essential information and high-level research that this review provides, thus making it an indispensable tool for students, researchers, and professionals who aim to enhance their understanding and knowledge about medical image processing technology.
