Improving SNR in Susceptibility Weighted Imaging by a NLM-Based Denoising Scheme
Abstract
The combination of magnitude and phase information inherent in Susceptibility-Weighted Imaging (SWI) greatly benefits from high-resolution MRI acquisitions. The application of a denoising filter to produce SWI images with higher signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) while preserving small structures from excessive blurring is therefore extremely desirable, but non-trivial, as the distribution of magnitude and phase noise may introduce biases during image …
