Abstract
A computer-implemented method to background noise from a medical image comprising voxels, each voxel having a voxel intensity, the method comprising: generating a mask based on the medical image, wherein the mask comprises a foreground portion designating foreground voxels, a background portion designating background voxels, and a perimeter separating the foreground portion from the background portion; designating a perimeter portion of the mask, the perimeter portion enclosing the perimeter, a subset of the foreground portion, and a subset of the background portion; designating a threshold for the perimeter portion to separate voxels based on voxel intensity; filtering the medical image with the mask and the threshold to obtain a filtered image; and displaying the filtered image on a display.
