Ultrasound imaging is a widely used and safe medical diagnostic technique, due to its noninvasive nature, low cost and capability of forming real time imaging. However the usefulness of ultrasound imaging is degraded by the presence of signal dependant noise known as speckle. The speckle pattern depends on the structure of the image tissue and various imaging parameters. There are two main purposes for speckle reduction in medical ultrasound imaging (1) to improve the human interpretation of ultrasound images (2) despeckling is the preprocessing step for many ultrasound image processing tasks such as segmentation and registration. A number of methods have been proposed for speckle reduction in ultrasound imaging. While incorporating speckle reduction techniques as an aid for visual diagnosis, it has to keep in mind that certain speckle contains diagnostic information and should be retained. The objective of this paper is to give an overview about types of speckle reduction techniques in ultrasound imaging
