Ultrasound Denoising Using Ricci Flow

Medical Imaging is a basic building block of modern medicine used to diagnose risks, there are several medical imaging methods, however each type of imaging has its own unique problems.

Abstract
Medical Imaging is a basic building block of modern medicine used to diagnose risks, there are several medical imaging methods, however each type of imaging has its own unique problems. In this project we tried to deal with the problem of noise in ultrasound images, where image quality is low, affecting the ability of diagnosis and when it comes to medical treatment diagnostic capability is quite critical. The solution we explored is the use of a diffusion process called Ricci flow to moderate the noise in the image in order to ease the examination.
