Simulation of dose reduction

This project aims at creating algorithms to simulate dose reduction in images corrupted by Poisson-Gaussian noise. We have performed validation studies using Digital Mammography, Digital Breast Tomosynthesis and Fluorescent Cells images. A pre-clinical trial study was conducted using clinical DBT patient data and human observers.

Software

Dose Reduction Package - Includes function, example code, noise parameters and correlation kernel estimated from two commercial DBT systems. Implemented using MATLAB R2016a. (v 1.0, 08/26/2018)
