| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Image noise in CT images is one of the major factors degrading the image quality. Thus, many studies of noise reduction techniques have been conducted. On the contrary, the phenomenon that disproves such traditional thought for noise has been discovered and is called “stochastic resonance”. It is known that this phenomenon appears by adding white Gaussian noise to non-linear system and provides the improvement of the system response. Thus, this phenomenon can be applied for improving signal detectability in CT images. From these viewpoints, we have set out on the following two subjects of study; 1) CNR analysis of noise-added CT images 2) Entropy analysis of noise-added CT images.
This study showed that stochastic resonance and stochastic synchronization appeared in CT images when white Gaussian noise and band-limited noise in spatial frequency domain was added. Consequently, the contrast resolution and sharpness of CT images was improved.
