imgscan: Image scanning and analysis tools

imgscan is a collection of 2D and 3D image scanning and data analysis tools. It comprises:
  • Software for 2D and 3D image scanning and retrieval of suspicious nodules.
  • Generalized scan statistic detectability evaluation [1,2].
  • Model based Monte Carlo code for uncertainties evaluation.
  • Nonparametric ROC and LROC analysis [3].
This tool package is part of an ongoing project for developing a set of efficient and practical task based image quality evaluation procedures, the task being the detection of small signals at unknown locations in images.
