%A Dinh Hoan Trinh %A Thanh Trung Nguyen %A Linh Trung Nguyen %T An Effective Example-based Denoising Method for CT Images using Markov Random Field %X We propose in this paper a novel example-based method for Gaussian denoising of CT images. In the proposed method, denoising is performed with the help of a set of example CT images. We construct, from the example images, a database consisting of high and low-frequency patch pairs and then use the Markov random field to denoise. The proposed denoising method can restore the high-frequency band that is often lost by the traditional noise-filters. Moreover, it is very effective for images corrupted by heavy noise. Experimental results also show that the proposed method outperforms other state-of-the-art denoising methods both in the objective and subjective evaluations. %K Gaussian noise;Markov processes;computerised tomography;image denoising;medical image processing;CT images;Gaussian denoising;Markov random field;example-based denoising method;high-frequency band;patch pairs;Biomedical imaging;Computed tomography;Databases;Image denoising;Noise;Noise measurement;Noise reduction %P 355-359 %D 2014 %C Hanoi, Vietnam %L SisLab1200
