Image restoration on mammography images

Abstract

Medical images like ultrasound images, X-ray images and mammographic images of widespread use in the detection of numerous diseases. But these images are not free from noise and may be blurred due to some known or unknown factors. To remove noise and blur from such images we need various restoration techniques. A number of methods are available for this purpose depending upon the type of noise, type of blur and type of images. With no knowledge for the cause of image degradation, image restoration is a technique that regains the image. Image restoration is applied to bring back the debased image without any prior knowledge about the source of degradation. In this paper, various applications of image restoration related with areas of medical imaging are discussed.
