Plots of AUC versus cutoff frequency of 2D pre-reconstruction Butterworth filter used in controlling noise in filtered backprojection (FBP) for different dose levels. Lower cutoff frequencies result in smoother images. As expected, the optimal cutoff frequency is lower because the images become noisier requiring more spatial smoothing to achieve maximal detection accuracy for that dose level.
