The challenge of noise attenuation in images has led to extensive research on improved noise reduction techniques, preserving important image characteristics, improving not only visual perception, but also enabling the use for special purposes, such as in medicine to increase clarity of medical images. In this paper, a technique for noise attenuation in medical images is proposed. Its operation takes place through the application of an adapted genetic algorithm. The results of experiments show that the proposed approach works best in suppressing artifacts and the preservation of the structure compared with several existing methods.
