ABSTRACT The primary purpose of this paper is to provide a novel wavelet-domain method for digital radiography with low dose examination. Approach of this study is an improved wavelet-transform-based method for potentially reducing radiation dose while maintaining clinically acceptable image quality. The wavelet algorithm integrates the advantages of wavelet-coefficient-weighted method and the existing Bayes Shr...
