      Quality evaluation of ultrasound imaging in the carotid artery 

      Loizou, Christos P.; Pattichis, Constantinos S.; Istepanian, Robert Sh Habib; Pantzaris, Marios C.; Tyllis, Theodosis K.; Nicolaïdes, Andrew N. (2004)
      Image quality assessment plays an important role in various image-processing applications. In this work we evaluate image quality criteria based on mean square error, signal to noise error, and quality and structural ...
