Global noise histogram (GNH) generation process: removal of non-anatomical pixels from the original CT image to masked CT image using Otsu thresholding; compute the gradient magnitude map; compute the noise map; generate GNI from noise map boolean operation with grad. mag.> 10 or boolean operation with HU between (−100,100) such that noise values at pixel with high gradient is excluded.
