Fig. 2.

The images are noise-free short-axis postprocessed images for different defects and phantoms. The arrows indicate the defects’ position, which were generated with a severity of 100% to aid visualization. The images shown in (a)–(d) are from the male phantom with the smallest value for all three anatomical parameters. Images (a) and (b) show anterolateral defects with extents of 25% and 5%, respectively. Images (c) and (d) show inferior defects with extents of 25% and 5%, respectively. The images shown in (e) and (f) have an anterolateral defect with an extent of 25%, where (e) is from the male phantom with the largest value for all three anatomical parameters and (f) is from the female phantom with the smallest value for all three anatomical parameters. The images shown in (g) and (h) have an inferior defect with an extent of 25%, where (g) is from the male phantom with the largest value for all three anatomical parameters and (h) is from the female phantom with the smallest value for all three anatomical parameters.
