The diagnostic imaging by computed tomography has become popular in recent decades. As the image acquisition method is effected by exposing the human body to X-ray dose (ionizing radiation), the frequent realization of diagnoses results in the accumulation of radiation, and may be a significant factor in the emergence of cancer diseases. This problem has motivated researchers to develop methods to reduce the dose of X-rays so that the image quality can be maintained. A common methodology involves applying algorithms for filtering noisy tomographic images that can be acquired under low dose of X-rays. This process may occur in the reconstructed image domain or tomographic projections domain. This work proposes a methodology for applying filtering Poisson noise present in tomographic sinogram, which uses the main anisotropic wavelets studied by the scientific community, which are: Curvelet, Contourlet, Shearlet. These wavelets apply the concept of multiscale and multidirectional analysis in a multidimensional signal, and may be advantageous in two-dimensional analysis of sinogram, preserving better image details in a noise reduction process compared to orthogonal wavelets.
