Artifacts from neural network reconstructions are difficult to characterize. It is important to assess the image quality in terms of the task for which the images will be used. In this work, we evaluated the effect of undersampling on detection of signals in images reconstructed with a neural network by both human and ideal observers. We compared these results to standard metrics (SSIM and NRMSE). Our results suggest that the undersampling level chosen by SSIM, NRMSE and ideal observer would likely be different than that of a human observer on a detection task for a small signal.
