OBJECTIVE ASSESSMENT OF SUBJECTIVE RADIOGRAPHIC IMAGE QUALITY
Abstract
Objective evaluation of radiographic image quality factors provides an opportunity for optimisation of image processing algorithms in order to meet the quality criteria of radiologists. Objective measures of noise, contrast and sharpness are proposed in this paper. The aim of the metrics is correspond to the scores given by radiologists as closely as possible.
