New CBCT-IQ dataset released for medical image quality assessment

Researchers have introduced CBCT-IQ, a new, publicly available dataset designed to advance image quality assessment in cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT). This dataset contains 1,764 annotated image slices, graded by three clinical experts for overall quality and specific regions of interest. It aims to overcome the limitations of subjective and time-consuming manual evaluations by providing a standardized benchmark for developing and validating quantitative image quality assessment methods in CBCT imaging.

    CBCT-IQ: A Publicly Available Annotated Cone-Beam CT Dataset for Image Quality Assessment and Benchmarking

    arXiv:2607.29253v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Medical image quality plays a critical role in diagnostic accuracy, especially in X-ray-based imaging modalities such as cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT), where image quality must be balanced against radiation dose. While expe…
