A multiplicative Nakagami speckle reduction algorithm for ultrasound images

Speckle noise of ultrasound images is of multiplicative nature which degrades the image quality in terms of resolution and contrast. While there exist a number of algorithms for reduction of multiplicative Rayleigh distributed random speckle noise, the low signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) issue of the mu...
