Abstract :
Since the acquired images are often distorted by noise resulting from various experimental and other sources (e.g., the RF tagging effects) in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), removing noise is a very important work and at the same time useful information should be well preserved. In this paper, a novel, fast denoising algorithm has been proposed to make tradeoff between reducing noise and enlarging contrast of MRI images. Finally the computed results are in good agreement with our theoretical prediction.
