Abstract

Denoising is an important image pre-processing operation required to improve the image quality. In the past, several image denoising solutions have been put forth with varying performances. Recently, deep-learning based approaches have given better results than conventional algorithms. While these methods offer promising results on denoising of natural images, their application to medical imaging is yet to be fully explored. In this study, mammographic images, which are generally corrupted with Gaussian noise, have been effectively denoised using a deep convolution neural network. The model proposed in this work outshines various existing state-of-the-art solutions. Our model achieves a structural similarity index (SSIM) of 0.98 and value of 41.53 dB for peak signal to noise ratio (PSNR).
