An Adaptive Medical Ultrasound Images Despeckling Method Based on Deep Learning

Abstract

Considering the shortage of traditional medical ultrasound image despeckle methods, an adaptive multi-exposure fusion framework and feedforward convolutional neural network model image despeckle method is proposed. Firstly, an ultrasound image training data set is produced. Then, a multi-exposure fusion framework with adaptive enhancement factors is proposed to enhance the image for effective feature extraction.Finally, a speckle model is trained through the network and a speckle image is obtained. Experimental results show that, compared with the existing methods, this paper can more effectively remove speckle noise in medical ultrasound images and retain more image details.
