Dear all,
I am trying to add both Gaussian and salt & pepper noise to a dicom image using imnoise() but in any densities I completely lose the image it becomes fully black with white spots in it.
I would be glad if someone could help me.
The below is my image and my code.
img = dicomread('1.dcm');
density = 0.01;
%img = imnoise(img,'gaussian',density);
img = imnoise(img,'salt & pepper',density);

imnoise expects pixel values of data type double and single to be in the range [0, 1]. You can use the rescale function to adjust pixel values to the expected range. If your image is type double or single with values outside the range [0,1], then imnoise clips input pixel values to the range [0, 1] before adding noise.
J = rescale(img);
img_noise = imnoise(J,'salt & pepper',0.01);

class() has probably changed.
im2double(img) and imnoise() the results and im2uint8 or as appropriate to return to the original type.
There is a possibility that your image is int16 with signed data, especially if it is CT, and it might take a slight bit more work to get back to signed

Since your images are in the range 0-256, I'd just immediately cast them to uint8 right after you read them in
img = dicomread('1.dcm');
img = uint8(img);
After that, everything should be fine.

Try this:
img = dicomread('1.dcm');
subplot(2, 2, 1);
imshow(img, []);
subplot(2, 2, 2);
imhist(img);
% Show min and max are 0 and 256,
% nowhere close to the uint16 range of 0 to 65,535.
min(img(:))
max(img(:))
density = 0.01;
%img = imnoise(img,'gaussian',density);
noisyImage = imnoise(img,'salt & pepper',density);
whos noisyImage
subplot(2, 2, 3);
imshow(noisyImage, [])
% Now rescale
noisyImage = imnoise(mat2gray(img),'salt & pepper',density);
subplot(2, 2, 4);
imshow(noisyImage, [])
