Abstract:
To simplify a procedure of the observer study with Ura's method of Scheffé's paired comparison and to improve experimental accuracy, we developed a software package to automatically analyze observer study data obtained by using a computer interface developed specially for the ROC observer study. Simulated low-dose CT images were used to demonstrate practical utility of this proposed method with a software package, in terms of a statistical analysis of the change of noise property due to the change of exposure dose. Six radiological technologists were participated in this observer study and compared each of six sample images selected at lower lung and liver slices with dose levels of 100, 80, 60, 40, 20, 10% per case. In the statistical analysis, the average psychological measures were highly correlated with the dose levels (lower lungs: R=0.95, liver: R=0.99). In addition, there were statistically significant differences in all combination of dose levels in liver slices. In conclusion, we demonstrated practical utility of this proposed method in terms of simplification of experimental procedure and the consistency of the analytic results.

Renal clearance is often associated with the renal glomerular filtration rate (GFR), which represents the rate at which plasma is filtered through the glomeruli in the kidney. When drug reabsorption is minimal and there is no active secretion, renal clearance is closely related to the...
