Exploring the impact of image restoration in simulating higher dose mammography: effects on the detectability of microcalcifications across different sizes using model observer analysis
We demonstrate the potential of an image restoration pipeline to simulate higher quality mammography images. The results indicate that reducing noise through denoising and restoration impacts the detectability of microcalcifications. This method improves image quality without hardware modifications or additional radiation exposure.
