Wavelet based denoising is an effective way to improve the quality of images. Various methods have been proposed for denoising using real-valued wavelet transform. Complex valued wavelets exist but are rarely used. The complex wavelet transform provides phase information and it is shift invariant in nature. In medical image denoising, both removal of phase incoherency as well as maintaining the phase coherency are needed. This paper is an attempt to explore and apply the complex Daubechies wavelet transform for medical image denoising. We have proposed a method to compute a complex threshold, which does not depend on any assumed model of noise. In this sense this is a "universal" method. The proposed complex-domain shrinkage function depends on mean, variance and median of wavelet coefficients. To test the effectiveness of the proposed method, we have computed the input and output SNR and PSNR of various types of medical images. The method gives an improvement for Gaussian additive, Speckle and Salt-&-Pepper noise as well as for the mixture of these noise types for a range of noisy images with 15 db to 30 db noise levels and outperforms other real-valued wavelet transform based methods. The application of the proposed method to Ultrasound, X-ray and MRI images is demonstrated in the experiments.

The process of enriching the important details from various modality medical images by combining them into single image is called multimodality medical image fusion. It aids physicians in terms of better visualization, more accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment plan for the cancer patient. The combined fused image is the result of merging of anatomical and physiological variations. It allows accurate localization of cancer tissues and more helpful for estimation of target volume for radiation. The details from both modalities (CT and MRI) are extracted in frequency domain by applying various transforms and combined them using variety of fusion rules to achieve the best quality of images. The performance and effectiveness of each transform on fusion results is evaluated subjectively as well as objectively. The fused images by algorithms in which feature extraction is achieved by M-Band Wavelet Transform and Daubechies Complex Wavelet Transform are superior over other frequency domain algorithms as per subjective and objective analysis.
