Quantitative evaluation of the trained neural network using ex vivo needle images. These performance metrics are expressed as mean standard deviations from 20 measurements acquired from different spatial locations of the ex vivo tissue and needle positions.
Metrics | Conventional reconstruction | U-Net enhancement | U-Net enhancement with post-processing |
---|---|---|---|
SNR | 91.3 ±47.3 | – | |
MHD | 28.7 ± 16.3 | 6.3 ±9.1 |
