Since microscopic slides can now be automatically digitized and integrated in the clinical workflow, quality assessment of these Whole Slide Images (WSI) has become a crucial issue. Until now, the quality of a WSI has been verified a posteriori by a technician or by a pathologist CONCLUSIONS: The automatic scoring algorithm is a promising tool for the evaluation of thoracic CT scans in daily clinical practice. It allows monitoring of the image quality of a chest protocol over time, without human intervention. Different reconstruction kernels can be compared after normalization of the IQs The Journal of Medical Imaging allows for the peer-reviewed communication and archiving of fundamental and translational research, as well as applications, focused on medical imaging, a field that continues to benefit from technological improvements and yield biomedical advancements in the early detection, diagnostics, and therapy of disease as well as in the understanding of normal conditions We describe here a fast method to automatically assess WSI quality, with different tests such as blurri- ness, contrast, brightness and color, and to accept or discard them at the time of acquisition in less than a minute. Parameters are weighted by pertinence and a global score indicates whether the WSI is suitable for further use An automatic image quality assessment technique incorporating higher level perceptual factors.

For the first estimator, we assume a gold-standard reference digital pathology slide is available The overall precision for automatic image quality assessment is 95.24% with 87.5% sensitivity and 100% specificity, while segmentation performance shows 99.27% (`0.26) of accuracy, 97.07% (`2.3) of sensitivity, 2.23 mm (`0.74) of the maximum symmetric contour distance, and 0.84 mm (`0.28) of the average symmetric contour distance Image quality is an open source software library for Automatic Image Quality Assessment (IQA)
OOF image artifacts can have even more severe consequences in automated image analysis by directly impacting detection and classification. Some studies found that systematic errors can be attributed to suboptimal focus quality, such as OOF germinal centers being mistaken for tumor metastases by an algorithm No-reference image quality assessment aims to predict the visual quality of distorted images without examining the original image as a reference. Most no-reference image quality metrics which have been already proposed are designed for one or a set of predefined specific distortion types and are unl BRISQUE calculates the no-reference image quality score for an image using the Blind/Referenceless Image Spatial Quality Evaluator (BRISQUE).

Good fundus image quality is important if diagnosis is to be accurate and timely. The method automatically grades fundus image quality on a continuous scale. Features are discovered automatically using simulated annealing. When evaluating image quality on a continuous scale the method outperforms human raters The quality of acquired images can be surely reduced by improper exposures. Thus, in many vision-related industries, such as imaging sensor manufacturing and video surveillance, a method that can objectively and automatically assess exposure levels of images is highly desired

The meter incorporates a model of the human visual system derived from psychophysical and neurophysiological studies. Early visual processing is assumed to consist of a set of spatially parallel, largely independent functional modules; but later stages are more heavily resource. Nevertheless, automatic quality assessment is still an open issue, especially with regard to general tasks. Indicators of perceptual quality like noise, lack of structure, blur, etc. can be retrieved from the orientation tensor of an image, but there are few studies reporting on this

The quality of acquired images can be surely reduced by improper exposures. Thus, in many vision-related industries, such as imaging sensor manufacturing and video surveillance, an approach that can routinely and accurately evaluate exposure levels of images is in urgent need. Taking an image as input, such a method is expected to output a scalar value, which can represent the overall.

Objective We previously developed a custom-design thoracic bone scintigraphy-specific phantom (SIM 2 bone phantom) to assess image quality in bone single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT). We aimed to develop an automatic assessment system for imaging technology in bone SPECT and demonstrate the validity of this system We study the problem of automatic reduced-reference image quality assessment (QA) algorithms from the point of view of image information change. Such changes are measured between the reference- and natural-image approximations of the distorted image Image quality studies always have some limitations. In the current study, clinical image quality was assessed by means of a subjective overall quality score and not by means of detection of an abnormality. Detection of lesions by means of ROC analysis could give a more precise assessment of image quality for a specific clinical application
