Medical Image Noise Reduction based on Weighted Anisotropic Diffusion

摘要

In general, according to one embodiment, in an medical imaging apparatus including an anisotropic diffusion unit 131 and a weight generation unit 132. The anisotropic diffusion unit 131 executes anisotropic diffusion for medical image data constituted by a plurality of signal values. The weight generation unit 132 generates a plurality of weights respectively corresponding to the plurality of signal values based upon the medical image data. The anisotropic diffusion unit 131 executes the anisotropic diffusion for the medical image data by using the weights.
