Summary:A computer implemented method of processing a medical image is disclosed. The method includes receiving a medical image comprising a first plurality of pixels each having an initial pixel value. For each of the first plurality of pixels, a filtering operation is applied to the pixel to generate a filtered pixel value for the pixel based on the initial pixel values of pixels that surround the pixel in the medical image. For each of the first plurality of pixels, a comparison of the initial pixel value with the filtered pixel value is performed. The method comprises, for each of the first plurality of pixels, determining, based on the comparison, whether or not to categorize the pixel as an erroneous pixel; and for each of the first plurality of pixels for which it is determined to categorize the pixel as an erroneous pixel, categorizing the pixel as an erroneous pixel.
