Abstract

The calcification plaque is a one kind of artifacts or noises, which is occurred in the Computed Tomography (CT) images as a very high attenuation coefficient. Computed Tomography (CT) images are more helpful than other modalities (e.g. Ultrasonic Imaging, Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) etc.) for disease diagnosis but unfortunately, CT image is an affected sometime by calcification plaque. Medical image segmentation cannot be optimum because of having calcification in the CT images, which is absolutely unexpected. The calcification plaque is the major problem for optimal organ segmentation and detection. This proposed task is a subjective as well as an effective for calcification alleviation from CT images. In this paper, Firstly, we applied the Fisher's Discriminant Analysis (FDA) for optimal threshold value estimation. Secondly, the proposed optimal threshold value is used for the optimal threshold image extraction. After this, the morphological operation is used for heavy calcification erosion and the XOR operation is used for adjusting the optimal threshold image with the input image. Finally, we implemented the Extra-Energy Reduction (EER) Function to smooth the desired image. Therefore, our investigated method is the most significant and articulate in order to attenuate calcification plaque from CT images.
