The proposed framework provides a method to compute valid prediction bounds for claims derived from probabilistic black-box image reconstruction algorithms. This is crucial in medical imaging applications where accurate scans are essential. The approach involves representing reconstructed scans with clinical metrics, calibrating bounds using conformal prediction (CP), and retrieving nearest-neighbor scans for visual inspection. The framework is demonstrated on sparse-view computed tomography (CT) for fat mass quantification and radiotherapy planning tasks, showing improved semantical interpretation compared to conventional approaches.

In this study, scientists developed a new way to calculate the accuracy of computer-generated medical images. This is important because these images can be used to make decisions about patient treatment. The method works by relating the reconstructed image to a specific clinical measurement and then using a special type of statistical analysis called conformal prediction (CP). This allows doctors to get a better sense of whether the image is accurate or not, which is helpful for making important medical decisions.
