Despeckling and enhancement of ultrasound images using non-local variational framework.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Speckles are introduced in the ultrasound data due to constructive and destructive interference of the probing signals that are used for capturing the characteristics of the tissue being imaged. There are a plethora of models discussed in the literature to improve the contrast and resolution of the ultrasound images by despeckling them. There is a class of models that assumes that the noise is multiplicative in its original form, and transforming the model to a log domain makes it an additive one. Nevertheless, such a transformation duly oversimplifies the scenario and does not capture the inherent properties of the data-correlated nature of speckles. Therefore, it results in poor reconstruction. This problem is addressed to a considerable extent in the subsequent works by adopting various models to address the data-correlated nature of the noise and its distributions. This work introduces a weberized non-local total bounded variational model based on the noise distribution built on the Retinex theory. This perceptually inspired model apparently restores and improves the contrast of the images without compromising much on the details inherently present in the data. The numerical implementation of the model is carried out using the Bregman formulation to improve the convergence rate and reduce the parameter sensitivity. The experimental results are highlighted and compared to demonstrate the efficiency of the model.
