Medical imaging modalities, such as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and computerized tomography (CT), have allowed medical researchers and clinicians to examine the structural and functional features of the human body, thereby assisting the clinical diagnosis. However, due to the highly controlled imaging environment, the imaging process often creates noise, which seriously affects the analysis of the medical images. In this study, a medical imaging enhancement algorithm is presented for ankle joint talar osteochondral injury. The gradient operator is used to transform the image into the gradient domain, and fuzzy entropy is employed to replace the gradient to determine the diffusion coefficient of the gradient field. The differential operator is used to discretize the image, and a partial differential enhancement model is constructed to achieve image detail enhancement. Three objective evaluation indexes, namely, signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), information entropy (IE), and edge protection index (EPI), were employed to evaluate the image enhancement capability of the proposed algorithm. Experimental results show that the algorithm can better suppress noise while enhancing image details. Compared with the original image, the histogram of the transformed image is more uniform and flat and the gray level is clearer.

Image edge details contains a rich amount of informations, enhancing edge details is the key of image post-processing. Traditional enhancement methods often lead to edge detail information lost. Fortunately, we find the curvelet transform good performance to reflect the detail information in the edge. In this paper, we add Wrap step to USFFT algorithm based on the Fast Discrete Curvelet Transform (FDCT), and adopt cyclic shift method and Er iteration. At the same time, we adopt adaptive threshold method. In order to get the objective evaluation result, comparing the wavelet algorithm and FDCT to the proposed method, we select peak signal-to-noise ratio. Experimental results show that the proposed method is not only superior to wavelet method, but also superior to single FDCT in the edge and detail information preservation.

Background : Research on the difference comparison the value of Signal To Noise Ratio (SNR) at MRI Ankle Joint examination using Quad Knee Coil and Flex/Multipurpose Coil at the hospital's radiology installation Telogorejo Semarang. Quad knee coil is a volume coil, is a coil that can act as a transmitter and receiver at the same RF signal (transreceiver). Flex / Multipurpose Coil is a surface coil which has a high SNR for a superficial examination (a small organ). The purpose of this research is to know comparison the value of signal to noise ratio (SNR) and higher the value of signal to noise ratio (SNR) at MRI Ankle Joint examination using Quad Knee Coil and Flex / Multipurpose Coil.Method : This type of research is quantitative experimental approach. The research data which 6 samples. Rate includes images subjectively talocalcaneal interosseous ligament, talocrural joint, subtalar joint, the calcaneus, tibia, talus, and the Achilles tendon. Then the results of the data in Paired T-Test tested.Results : Test results that there are differences in comparison the value of signal to noise ratio (SNR) at MRI Ankle Joint examination using Quad Knee Coil and Flex / Multipurpose Coil which has a p-value / sig for all of 0.002, and each criterion that have talocalcaneal interoseous ligament p value 0.026, talocrural joint p value 0.017, subtalar joint p value 0.001, calcaneus p value 0.002, tibia p value 0.003, talus p value 0.006, and achilles tendon p value 0.012. This is in accordance with the calculated average value SNR on the use of Quad Knee Coil is higher at 110.67 because the coil acts as transreceiver and has two preamplifier so as to improve the SNRConclusion : There is a differences in comparison the value of Signal To Noise Ratio (SNR) at MRI Ankle Joint examination using Quad Knee Coil and Flex / Multipurpose Coil.


This paper aims in presenting a thorough comparison of performance and usefulness of multi-resolution based de-noising technique. Multi-resolution based image denoising techniques overcome the limitation of Fourier, spatial, as well as, purely frequency based techniques, as it provides the information of 2-Dimensional (2-D) signal at different levels and scales, which is desirable for image de-noising. The multiresolution based de-noising techniques, namely, Contourlet Transform (CT), Non Sub-sampled Contourlet Transform (NSCT), Stationary Wavelet Transform (SWT) and Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT), have been selected for the de-noising of camera images. Further, the performance of different denosing techniques have been compared in terms of different noise variances, thresholding techniques and by using well defined metrics, such as Peak Signal-to-Noise Ratio (PSNR) and Root Mean Square Error (RMSE). Analysis of result shows that shift-invariant NSCT technique outperforms the CT, SWT and DWT based de-noising techniques in terms of qualititaive and quantitative objective evaluation
