Yes / We propose a method to automatically parameterize noise in cardiac x-ray image
sequences. The aim was to provide context-sensitive imaging information for
use in regulating dose control feedback systems that relates to the experience
of human observers. The algorithm locates and measures noise contained in
areas of approximately equal signal level. A single noise metric is derived from
the dominant noise components based on their magnitude and spatial location
in relation to clinically relevant structures. The output of the algorithm was
compared to noise and clinical acceptability ratings from 28 observers viewing
40 different cardiac x-ray imaging sequences. Results show good agreement and
that the algorithm has the potential to augment existing control strategies to
deliver x-ray dose to the patient on an individual basis. / This work has been performed in the project PANORAMA, funded by grants 335 from Belgium, Italy, France, the Netherlands, United Kingdom, and the ENIAC Joint Undertaking.
