Abstract: Medical Image Processing has broadened in recent years. To monitor the behavior of the fetal ultrasound images are considered. These images provide the view of internal organs of the body. But ultrasound images have the drawback of having speckle noise. The quality of the image gets reduced due to the presence of speckle noise. Hence, it is necessary to reduce the speckle noise and to enhance the quality of the image for further images analysis. The detection of any movement as well as the development of the fetus can be analyzed after the preprocessing steps. The system helps the pregnant women to take care of her health stage by stage.
