Evaluation of CNN as anthropomorphic model observer

F Massanes, JG Brankov - Medical Imaging 2017: Image …, 2017 - spiedigitallibrary.org
Model observers (MO) are widely used in medical imaging to act as surrogates of human
observers in task-based image quality evaluation, frequently towards optimization of …

Inter‐laboratory comparison of channelized hotelling observer computation

…, C Balta, J Brankov, F Massanes… - Medical …, 2018 - Wiley Online Library
Purpose The task‐based assessment of image quality using model observers is increasingly
used for the assessment of different imaging modalities. However, the performance …
