New BEMD-QBF method enhances CT image quality by reducing noise while preserving structure

Researchers have developed a novel framework called BEMD-QBF, which uses Bidimensional Empirical Mode Decomposition and Quaternion Bilateral Filtering to convert sharp-kernel CT images into a soft-kernel appearance. This method aims to reduce noise while preserving crucial anatomical structures. Evaluations using various reconstruction kernels and comparisons with established filtering techniques like Non-Local Means and Anisotropic Diffusion show that BEMD-QBF achieves superior structural fidelity and effective noise reduction.

    A BEMD-Based Quaternion Filtering Approach Sharp-to-Soft Kernel CT Image Conversion

    arXiv:2610.07071v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: The quality of computed tomography (CT) images is significantly affected by the selection of reconstruction kernels: sharp kernels improve spatial resolution but increase noise, whereas soft kernels diminish noise at the expense of …
