A region-adaptive non-local denoising algorithm for low-dose computed tomography images
Low-dose computed tomography (LDCT) can effectively reduce radiation exposure in patients. However, with such dose reductions, large increases in speckled noise and streak artifacts occur, resulting in seriously degraded reconstructed images. The non-local means (NLM) method has shown potential for...
