Abstract
Medical imaging is a complex process that capitulates images created by X-rays, ultrasound imaging, angiography, etc. During the imaging process, it also captures image noise during image acquisition, some of which are extremely corrosive, creating a disturbance that results in image degradation. The proposed work addresses the challenge to eliminate the corrosive Gaussian additive white noise from computed tomography (CT) images while preserving the fine details. The proposed approach is synthesized by amalgamating the concept of method noise with a deep learning-based framework of a convolutional neural network (CNN). The corrupted images are obtained by explicit addition of Gaussian additive white noise at multiple noise variance levels (σ = 10, 15, 20, 25). The denoised images obtained are then evaluated according to their visual quality and quantitative metrics, such as peak signal-to-noise ratio (PSNR) and structural similarity index (SSIM). These metrics for denoised CT images are then compared with their respective values for the reference CT image. The average PSNR value of the proposed method is 25.82, the average SSIM value is 0.85, and the average computational time is 2.8760. To better understand the proposed approach’s effectiveness, an intensity profile of denoised and original medical images is plotted and compared. To further test the performance of the proposed methodology, the results obtained are also compared with that of other non-traditional methods. The critical analysis of the results shows the commendable efficiency of the proposed methodology in denoising the medical CT images corrupted by Gaussian noise. This approach can be utilized in multiple pragmatic areas of application in the field of medical image processing.
