A new speckle reduction method, ie, Laplacian pyramid-based nonlinear diffusion (LPND),
is proposed for medical ultrasound imaging. With this method, speckle is removed by …

Because of its low signal/noise ratio, low contrast and blurry boundaries, ultrasound (US)
image segmentation is a difficult task. In this paper, a novel level set-based active contour …
