In the frame A glimpse of the everyday routines behind this story.

A new annotated dataset of 1,764 cone-beam CT slices enables reproducible research on quantitative image quality assessment, balancing diagnostic accuracy with radiation dose.

Three things to remember

  • 1,764 annotated CBCT slices with expert scores for overall and ROI quality.
  • 26 full- and no-reference IQA measures benchmarked against expert annotations.
  • Exploratory ranking distinguishes subtle image quality differences for future research.
