The invention discloses a low-dose computed tomography (CT) image processing method based on wavelet space directional filtering, belonging to the technical field of computerized tomography. The method is as follows: firstly, static wavelet transform is used for carrying out single-layer decomposition on the low-dose CT image to be processed, then high-frequency detailed images in the horizontal,vertical and opposite angle directions are subjected to one-dimensional nonlinear diffusion filtering in the vertical and horizontal directions respectively so as to restrain the information intensity of star-strip artifacts in high-frequency detailed images in different directions, and then inverse static wavelet transform is conducted according to the processed high-frequency detailed images inthe horizontal, vertical and opposite angle directions and the original low-frequency images for rebuilding to obtain artifacts so as to obtain restrained CT images, finally, the image is further processed by using the existing large adjacent region weighted average noise suppression method. By utilizing the method, the star-strip artifacts and noise in the low-dose CT image can be effectively restrained, and the quality of the low-dose CT image can be improved, so that the low dose CT image meets the quality requirements of clinical diagnosis.
