  • Method and system for providing a locally-consistent enhancement of a low-quality image
    Patent number: 10719921
    Abstract: A method of providing a medical image of a ROI of a patient, the method comprising: acquiring a first medical image of a region of interest (ROI) of a patient, the medical image characterized by a first signal to noise ratio (SNR); determining for a given pixel in the first image a plurality of different first image patches in the first image, each having a pixel that is coincident with the given pixel; determining for each first image patch a similar second image patch having a second SNR greater than the first SNR; determining an enhanced pixel value for the given pixel having an enhanced SNR greater than the first SNR responsive to pixel values of pixels in the determined second image patches; and using the determined pixel value to generate a second medical image of the ROI having an enhanced SNR greater than the first SNR.
