Hi Daan!
I just have an additional question that I am wondering about:
- What would be the penalty (besides the computational cost) of applying a patch size of 7x7x7 (for example) to a dataset of 70 volumes? Wouldn’t the noise estimation be more accurate (because I have more components to discretize the histogram (more precision?) from where the noise will be estimated)? On the other hand, I am wondering how problematic would be to apply a patch size of 5x5x5 to the dataset of 132 vols, since according to my estimations the SNR value is higher than when using the patch of 7x7x7? (I calculated this estimations based on the recommendation I found here).
It is not clear for me how this relationship between the patch size and the number of volumes is established in order to achieve maximal SNR. Could give me a hint on that?
Thank you again for your time!
