Abstract
In this paper we introduce a new speckle suppression technique for medical ultrasound images that incorporates morphological properties of speckle as well as tissue classifying parameters. Each individual speckles is located, and, exploiting our prior knowledge on the tissue classification, it is determined whether this speckle is noise or a medically relevant detail. We apply the technique on images of neonatal brains affected by White Matter Damage (leukomalacia). The results show that applying an active contour on a processed image, in order to segment the affected areas, yields a segmentation much closer to that of an expert.
