Module Description

This module reduces noise (or unwanted detail) on a set of diffusion weighted images. For this, it filters the image in the mean squared error sense using a Rician noise model. Images correspondinge to each gradient direction and baseline image are processed individually. The noise parameter is automatically estimated (noise estimation improved but slower). A complete description of the algorithm may be found in "DWI filtering using joint information for DTI and HARDI", Antonio Tristan Vega and Santiago Aja-Fernandez, Medical Image Analysis, Volume 14, Issue 2, Pages 205-218.

Usage

Examples, Use Cases & Tutorials

Quick Tour of Features and Use

It is very easy to use it. Just select a DWI, set the parameters (if you really need it), and you're ready to go.

  • Input DWI Volume: set the DWI volume
  • Output DWI Volume: the filtered DWI volume
  • Estimation radius: This is the 3D radius of the neighborhood used for noise estimation. Noise power is estimated as the mode of the histogram of local variances
  • Filtering radius: This is the 3D radius of the neighborhood used for filtering: local means and covariance matrices are estimated within this neighborhood
