Applicants have discovered a multi-layer quality control/quality assurance system that provides higher quality data, without human intervention, by rejecting images that do not achieve a pre-determined quality threshold. In some embodiments of the present invention, there is provided a new method of processing an image from a data set through a pipeline wherein quality control/assurance allows to determine a quality of the image processing, the method comprising; receiving a test image; pre-processing the test image; registering the test image to a reference image; calculating a test image quality using a correlation of image intensity values between corresponding locations of the test image and the reference image; providing a plurality of training images and calculating training image quality distribution statistics for the training images with respect to the reference image; and relating the test image quality to the training image quality distribution.
A method of processing an image from a data set through a pipeline wherein quality assurance allows to determine a quality of said image processing, said method comprising;
An apparatus for processing a test image from a data set through pipelines allowing to determine a quality of said test image processing comprising:
A method of processing medical images through a pipeline wherein quality control and assurance allows to determine a quality of a medical image processing comprising;
