Quantitative evaluation compares image quality metrics in synthesized and digital mammography, suggesting differences.
Quantitative phantom-based evaluation demonstrated that DM showed superior performance to SM in several physical image quality metrics, including SNR uniformity, noise characteristics, spatial resolution, and contrast-detail detectability. These findings indicate systematic differences in physical image quality between DM and SM; however, further observer and clinical studies are required to clarify how these differences translate to diagnostic performance in clinical practice.
