Expanding gCNR into a clinically relevant measure of lesion detectability by considering size and spatial resolution

S Schlunk, B Byram - Medical Imaging 2024: Ultrasonic …, 2024 - spiedigitallibrary.org
Early image quality metrics were often designed with clinicians in mind, and ideally better
metrics would correlate with the subjective opinion of clinically better images. Over time …
