Abstract
Each of a plurality of slices of medical image data is adaptively processed using a noise reduction mode selected according to a target noise magnitude for all slices to an estimated noise magnitude for the respective slice to obtain consistent processed images for across slices, different size patients' and different reconstruction thickness. Unnecessary noise reduction and over-cleaning images resulting in inconsistent noise-level image data across slices or waxy/unnatural appearing processed images is avoided.
