Evaluation of receiver operating characteristic curve data in terms of information theory, with applications in radiography.

A method is presented for quantitative evaluation of observer detection performance data based on elementary principles of information theory. The resulting index of detectability, average information content per observation, is compared with previously proposed measures of observer performance both on theoretical grounds and for the practical problem of evaluating radiographic screen-film systems.
