Table 1. Obtained MSE, PSNR, NCD, and SSIM indices by applying different pseudo-coloring algorithms for the myocardial perfusion SPECT image of a 61-year-old male. The up arrow (↑) indicates that the larger the average value, the better the model performance. The down arrow (↓) has the opposite meaning.
