Abstract: In general, the main problem in ultrasound images is reduction of noise and problem is more severe when the noise is multiplicative in nature. In this paper, we present a novel method to combine different filter using brute force algorithm to enhance the quality of ultra sound image. This method is divided into two parts i.e. pre-processing and brute force algorithm. In pre-processing median filter ,fuzzy filter which will evaluate the different characteristics as noisy, homogeneous, and
