Image denoising methods are important in order to diminish various kinds of noises, which are presented either capturing the image or distorted during image transmission. Signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) is one of the main barriers which avoids the theoretical observations to be accomplished in practice. In this study, we have utilized various kinds of filtering operators against three various noises, which are the signal-to-noise ratio comparison against the phantom image in spatial and frequency domain. In frequency domain, the average filter is used to smooth the image and frequency domain, and Gaussian low-pass filter is applied with empirically determined cutoff frequency. This work has six major parts such as applying average filter, determining the SNR of region of interest, transforming the image in frequency domain by discrete Fourier transform, obtaining the rectangular Gaussian low-pass filter along with a cutoff frequency, multiplying them, and carrying out the inverse Fourier transform. These steps are repeated accordingly until the resulting image SNR is equal to or greater than the spatial domain SNR. In order to achieve the goal of this study, we have analyzed the proposed approach against some of complex phantom images. The performances of these filters are compared against signal-to-noise ratio.

Ultrasound localization microscopy (ULM) enables microvascular imaging at spatial resolutions beyond the acoustic diffraction limit, offering significant clinical potentials. However, ULM performance relies heavily on microbubble (MB) signal sparsity, the number of detected MBs, and signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), all of which vary in clinical scenarios involving bolus MB injections. These sources of variations underscore the need to optimize MB dosage, data acquisition timing, and imaging settings in order to standardize and optimize ULM of microvasculature.

The inherently dim fluorescence and low signal-to-noise ratio of red-shifted GECIs have posed significant challenges. More critically, several red-fluorescent GECIs exhibit photoswitching when exposed to blue light, thereby limiting their applicability in all- optical experimental approaches.

The goal of this work was to demonstrate the feasibility of imaging of tissue micro-geometries and water exchange within the brain gray matter using the state-of-the-art Connectome 2.0 scanner equipped with an ultra-high-performance gradient system (maximum gradient strength=500 mT/m, maximum slew rate=600 T/m/s).

Invasive breast cancer diagnosis and treatment planning require an accurate assessment of human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) expression levels. While immunohistochemical techniques (IHC) are the gold standard for HER2 evaluation, their implementation can be resource-intensive and costly. To reduce these obstacles and expedite the procedure, we present an efficient deep-learning model that generates high-quality IHC-stained images directly from Hematoxylin and Eosin (H&E) stained images.

Background: A stemless plastic scintillation detector (SPSD) is composed of an organic plastic scintillator coupled to an organic photodiode. Previous research has shown that SPSDs are ideally suited to challenging dosimetry measurements such as output factors and profiles in small fields. Lacking from the current literature is a systematic effort to optimize the performance of the photodiode component of the detector.
