Noise removal in MR images using non linear filters

Magnetic Resonance Imaging is most popularly used techniques in clinical diagnosis. During acquisition, image quality is degraded by certain noise and artifacts. Due to which, it is difficult to interpret important details of user. So it becomes necessary to denoise image. There are various denoising methods available now days. This paper reviews some of the nonlinear techniques of denoising and their comparative results. All the filters aim at removing noise while preserving edges and finer details of image so that qualitative information is extracted.
