New Denoising Scheme for Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy Signals

Abstract

A new scheme for denoising magnetic resonance spectroscopy signals is presented. The scheme is based on projecting noisy signals on different time- frequency domains, consecutively, and performing noise filtering operations in these domains according to the noise level. The evaluation of this scheme was performed using extensive simulation of magnetic resonance spectroscopy signals with different noise levels. It was observed that this scheme gives superior results that compensate for the excess computational requirements, especially for very low signal to noise ratio signals.
