Noise and Speckle Reduction in Doppler Blood Flow Spectrograms Using an Adaptive Pulse-Coupled Neural Network

<p/> <p>A novel method, called adaptive pulse coupled neural network (AD-PCNN) using a two-stage denoising strategy, is proposed to reduce noise and speckle in the spectrograms of Doppler blood flow signals. AD-PCNN contains an adaptive thresholding PCNN and a threshold decaying PCNN. Fi...
