Validation of a Saliency Map for Assessing Image Quality in Nuclear Medicine: Experimental Study Outcomes

Recently, the use of saliency maps to evaluate the image quality of nuclear medicine images has been reported. However, that study only compared qualitative visual evaluations and did not perform a quantitative assessment. The study’s aim was to demonstrate the possibility of using saliency maps (ca...
