Abstract

The denoising step for Computed Tomography (CT) images is an important challenge in the medical image processing. These images are degraded by low resolution and noise. In this paper, we propose a new method for 3D CT denoising based on Coherence Enhancing Diffusion model. Quantitative measures such as PSNR, SSIM and RMSE are computed to a phantom CT image in order to improve the efficiently of our proposed model, compared to a number of denoising algorithms. Furthermore, experimental results on a real 3D CT data show that this approach is effective and promising in removing noise and preserving details.
