| contents | Medical imaging modalities including magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), computed tomography (CT), and ultrasound are essential for accurate diagnosis and treatment planning in modern healthcare. However, noise contamination during image acquisition and processing frequently degrades image quality, obscuring critical diagnostic details and compromising clinical decision-making. Additionally, enhancement techniques such as histogram equalization may inadvertently amplify existing noise artifacts, including salt-and-pepper distortions. This study investigates wavelet transform-based denoising methods for effective noise mitigation in medical images, with the primary objective of identifying optimal combinations of threshold values, decomposition levels, and wavelet types to achieve superior denoising performance and enhanced diagnostic accuracy. Through systematic evaluation across various noise conditions, the research demonstrates that the bior6.8 biorthogonal wavelet with universal thresholding at decomposition levels 2-3 consistently achieves optimal denoising performance, providing significant noise reduction while preserving essential anatomical structures and diagnostic features critical for clinical applications. |
