Effect of Edge-Preserving Adaptive Image Filter on Low-Contrast Detectability in CT Systems: Application of ROC Analysis

Figure 4

The ROC curves of five observers for images with/without the use of QDS for the target with a diameter of 4 mm. The low-contrast resolution for the images obtained at 140 mA without QDS was statistically equivalent to that of the images obtained at 90 mA with QDS.
