【 摘 要 】

De-noising is always a challenging problem in magnetic resonance imaging and important for clinical diagnosis and computerized analysis, such as tissue classification and segmentation. It is well known that the noise in magnetic resonance imaging has a Rician distribution. Unlike additive Gaussian noise, Rician noise is signal dependent, and separating signal from noise is a difficult task. An efficient method for enhancement of noisy magnetic resonance image using wave atom shrinkage is proposed. The reconstructed MRI data have high Signal to Noise Ratio (SNR) compared to the curvelet and wavelet domain de-noising approaches.
