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). …”
