<p>Preliminary diagnosing of MRI images from the hospital cannot be relied on because of the chances of occurrence of artifacts resulting in degraded quality of image, while others may be confused with pathology. Obtained MRI image usually contains limited artifacts. It becomes complex one for doctors in analyzing them. By increasing the contrast of an image, it will be easy to analyze. In order to find the tumor part efficiently MRI brain image should be enhanced properly. The image enhancement methods mainly improve the visual appearance of MRI images. The goal of denoising is to remove the noise, which may corrupt an image during its acquisition or transmission, while retaining its quality. In this paper effectiveness of seven denoising algorithms viz. median filter, wiener filter, wavelet filter, wavelet based wiener, NLM, wavelet based NLM, proposed wavelet based weighted median filter(WMF) using MRI images in the presence of additive white Gaussian noise is compared. The experimental results are analyzed in terms of various image quality metrics.</p>

“…R. Pavithra, R. Ramya and G. Alaiyarasi [26] are analyzing how increasing the contrast of a picture makes it easier to analyze. The noise that corrupts the image of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is coming from the acquisition's moment or the transmission process.…”

The fidelity of an image subjected to digital processing, such as a contour/texture highlighting process or a noise reduction algorithm, can be evaluated based on two types of criteria: objective and subjective, sometimes the two types of criteria being considered together. Subjective criteria are the best tool for evaluating an image when the image obtained at the end of the processing is interpreted by man. The objective criteria are based on the difference, pixel by pixel, between the original and the reconstructed image and ensure a good approximation of the image quality perceived by a human observer. There is also the possibility that in evaluating the fidelity of a remade (reconstructed) image, the pixel-by-pixel differences will be weighted according to the sensitivity of the human visual system. The problem of improving medical images is particularly important in assisted diagnosis, with the aim of providing physicians with information as useful as possible in diagnosing diseases. Given that this information must be available in real time, we proposed a solution for reconstructing the contours in the images that uses a modified Wiener filter in the wavelet domain and a nonlinear cellular network and that is useful both to improve the contrast of its contours and to eliminate noise. In addition to the need to improve imaging, medical applications also need these applications to run in real time, and this need has been the basis for the design of the method described below, based on the modified Wiener filter and nonlinear cellular networks.
