DTI Rician Noise Removal
Our Objective is to provide a software tool for clinicians that will filter diffusion tensor images using our Rician noise removal algorithm. The method should be completely automatic and give the user the option of reviewing the images to make sure that the results are acceptable.
Description
Developed a Slicer module for our DT-MRI Rician noise removal during the 2007 Project Half Week. Also enhanced the method by including an automatic method for determining the noise sigma in the image. This makes the algorithm completely automatic, i.e., there are no free parameters. Also, since the module is implemented in Slicer, images can be reviewed directly in the Slicer program after applying the filter.
