The main line of research
of our team is Image Quality Assesment in Radiology. We are developing several tools
and methods to obtain useful and objective index and procedures we can use to improve the performance of the radiology systems.
One of the areas of our
interest at the moment is the evaluation of SSIM index metrics as a set of useful tools to analyze
several aspects of this kind of images. These metrics are based on the analysis of the
structural similarity of two images.
As an intermediate result,
we have developed in Java a plugin
version for ImageJ of SSIM index, created by Zhou Wang . It is our aim to
share our programs as Open Source Software with the scientific
community.
