Wavelet packet denoising of magnetic resonance images: importance of Rician noise at low SNR.

abstract：:High-resolution turbo spin echo (TSE) images have demonstrated important details of carotid artery morphology; however, it is evident that pulsatile blood and wall motion related to the cardiac cycle are still significant sources of image degradation. Although ECG gating can reduce artifacts due to cardiac-induced pul...
