The effect of resizing on the natural appearance of scintigraphic images: an image similarity analysis by Siraj Ghassel, Amir Jabbarpour, Jochen Lang, Eric Moulton, Eric Moulton, Ran Klein, Ran Klein, Ran Klein, Ran Klein

“…Background and objectiveThis study aimed to assess the impact of upsampling and downsampling techniques on the noise characteristics and similarity metrics of scintigraphic images in nuclear medical imaging.MethodsA physical phantom study using dynamic imaging was used to generate reproducible static images of varying count statistics. Naïve upsampling and downsampling with linear interpolation were compared against alternative methods based on the preservation of Poisson count statistics and principles of nuclear scintigraphic imaging; namely, linear interpolation with a Poisson resampling correction (upsampling) and a sliding window summation method (downsampling). …”

Computational Study Protocol: Leveraging Synthetic Data to Validate a Benchmark Study for Differential Abundance Tests for 16S Microbiome Sequencing Data [version 2; peer review: 2... by Clemens Kreutz, Eva Kohnert

“…Building on Nearing et al.’s study (1), who assessed 14 differential abundance tests using 38 experimental 16S rRNA datasets in a case-control design, we are generating synthetic datasets that mimic the experimental data to verify their findings. We will employ statistical tests to rigorously assess the similarity between synthetic and experimental data and to validate the conclusions on the performance of these tests drawn by Nearing et al. (1). …”
