Image quality and radiation dose in planar imaging - Image quality figure of merits from the CDRAD phantom.

CONCLUSIONS: Inverse image quality figure and h are about equally related to dose level. The FOM h, which describes the size of a hole that should be seen in the image, may be a more intuitive FOM than IQFinv . However, considering the probabilities for overlap and their confidence intervals, the FOMs deduced from the CDRAD phantom are not sensitive to dose. Hence, CDRAD may not be an optimal phantom to differentiate between images acquired at different dose levels. PMID: 31152576 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
