Retinal image analysis

Assessment of curvelet transforms as an edge detection tool

Retinal vessel detection is an important step in diagnosing and treatment
of many diseases
Quantitative measures used are Accuracy, Sensitivity and Specificity
Vessel Detection method:
Curvelet generation 2 based method: Accuracy - 0.9840
Curvelet generation 1 based method: Accuracy - 0.9411

MRI image denoising

MRI image denoising is compared using block DCT, wavelet and

countourlet transform
Universal thresholding methods are adopted
Performance parameters used are MSE and PSNR
Block DCT: MSE = 244; PSNR = 24.23 dB
Wavelet Domain: MSE = 168; PSNR = 25.86 dB
Contourlet transform: MSE = 167; PSNR = 25.88 dB

DTI denoising

A denoising method is proposed and compared with existing methods

A non linear Gaussian filter is used
Image quality metrics used are PSNR and MSSIM
Scalar PDE: PSNR = 19.49 dB, MSSIM = 0.8908
Proposed method : PSNR = 29.9 dB, MSSIM = 0.9892
Contrast enhancement method is used to increase the visibility of
structural details in DTI
Quantitative measures for validating results are
Contrast-to-Noise Ratio (CNR)
Contrast-Per-Pixel (CPP)
Histogram Flatness Ratio (HFR)

Noise removal and contrast enhancement

Histogram Equalization can cause over-enhancement in medical images

Proposed method uses Averaging method to transform the gray levels in
each cluster
HE Method : PSNR = 12.9 dB
Averaging methods in clusters: PSNR = 25.43 dB
Noise reduction is achieved using Perona-Malik filter
HE Method : PSNR = 10.49 dB
WHE with PM filter: PSNR = 19.58 dB
