Analysis of Image Quality Assessment with Markov Random Field Oriented on Low Dose CT Images
نویسندگان
چکیده
In order to provide precision and objective image quality measures (IQMs) for the low dose CT (Computed Tomography) images, various general IQMs need to be validated and analyzed. The IQM based on Markov Random Field (MRF) has not been check and validated by a comprehensive distorted database. First choose a standard distorted image database of LIVE (Laboratory for Image & Video Engineering) to validate and analyze the performance of various IQMs. Then assess various low dose phantom CT images by the IQMs. Experimental results show that the mutual information based on MRF is more obvious and precision than other measures to reflect the quality changes of the LIVE database and low dose CT phantom images. It can provide effective reference for quality assessment of low dose CT images. Copyright © 2014 IFSA Publishing, S. L.

Background: Accurate brain tissue segmentation from magnetic resonance (MR) images is an important step in analysis of cerebral images. There are software packages which are used for brain segmentation. These packages usually contain a set of skull stripping, intensity non-uniformity (bias) correction and segmentation routines. Thus, assessment of the quality of the segmented gray matter (GM), ...
