To quantitatively evaluate the delineation of image details in clinical PET images, we used normalized mutual information (NMI) to quantify the similarity with images obtained through MRI. NMI is used to evaluate image quality by determining similarity with a reference image. The aim of this study was to evaluate quantitatively the delineation of image details provided by semiconductor PET.Lippincott Williams & WilkinsJournal Articleapplication/pdfhttp://hdl.handle.net/2115/59117https://eprints.lib.hokudai.ac.jp/dspace/bitstream/2115/59117/1/MNMNMC-11-975.pdf1473-5628AA10624879Nuclear medicine communications3566776822014-06enginfo:pmid/24681765info:doi/10.1097/MNM.0000000000000085This is a non-final version of an article published in final form in Kubo N., et al.
