To evaluate the characteristics of edge-preserving adaptive filters for selectively eliminating noise without affecting resolution in low-dose scanning, we have developed a digital phantom image and evaluated noise statistical values, noise characteristics, and resolution characteristics. The results confirmed that edge-preserving adaptive filters function as smoothing filters in low-contrast regions containing noise, permitting the density resolution to be improved, while the strength of the smoothing filter is reduced to maintain spatial resolution in high-contrast regions containing small structures. It has therefore been confirmed that edge-preserving adaptive filters function as filters for selectively eliminating only the noise elements that are increased when the exposure dose is reduced and that such filters are effective for improving image quality. Using such digital phantom images, images acquired using conditions that are difficult to set in actual CT scanning can be obtained and images specifically for the evaluation target can easily be generated. In addition, the noise level, frequency distribution of the noise, and resolution characteristics of the objects present in the input image can be freely set. It is concluded that evaluation of processing using a digital phantom image is effective for evaluating image processing.
