Abstract

In recent years medical imaging is one of the popular research topic newlineamong the researchers Early detection and classification of the diseases is newlineone the major thrust in the cancer research Breast cancer is one of the most newlineimportant diseases in many countries Breast cancer is diagnosed by the newlineradiologist with Xray sonography as preliminary screening But the imaging newlinesystem experiences a general problem like noise that is the unwanted presence newlineof data reduced contrast peculiar shape and size Because of the noise the newlineimages may have blurring of edges unclear image due to poor acquisition newlinedevices Hence removal of the noise is an essential task for early detection newlineThere are many noises present in the images like salt and pepper noise newlineGaussian noise short noise Impulse noise Poisson noise and speckle noise newlineAlthough there are many noises available the speckle noise has more impact newlineon medical images newline newline
