New RIQE model evaluates CT image quality, outperforming NIQE on medical scans

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Researchers have developed RIQE, a new reference model for evaluating the quality of computed tomography (CT) images. Similar to the Natural Image Quality Evaluator (NIQE), RIQE is trained on medical imaging data rather than photographs. It was fitted on 3,792 full-dose CT slices and tested on reduced-dose reconstructions, where it successfully ranked degraded images as worse than their full-dose counterparts in most cases. However, the model's preferences for filtered images did not consistently align with lesion detectability, suggesting it should not be the sole criterion for selecting or tuning image processing techniques.

    RIQE: a NIQE-style reference model for Computed Tomography

    arXiv:2610.00384v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: The Natural Image Quality Evaluator (NIQE) scores an image by its statistical distance from a model fitted on pristine images, and its distributed model is fitted on photographs. We release the Radiology Image Quality Evaluator (R…
