Evaluation of automatic image quality assessment in chest CT – A human cadaver study

Highlights • This study uses Thiel cadavers to evaluate automatic IQ assessment in chest CT. • Correlations between the IQs algorithm and the physical-technical IQ were high. • The IQs algorithm correlates highly with the observed clinical IQ. • The IQs values may be stored in a database and used to...

Description
Summary:Highlights • This study uses Thiel cadavers to evaluate automatic IQ assessment in chest CT. • Correlations between the IQs algorithm and the physical-technical IQ were high. • The IQs algorithm correlates highly with the observed clinical IQ. • The IQs values may be stored in a database and used to monitor IQ performance.
