Our objectives were to (1) investigate whether evaluation with these FoMs is consistent with objective clinical-task-based evaluation; (2) provide a theoretical analysis for determining the impact of denoising on signal-detection tasks; (3) demonstrate the utility of virtual clinical trials (VCTs) to evaluate DL-based methods.
