Qualitative results of eight frontal chest radiographs from the synthetic public test set, where each column represents one participant. Participants one through four are from the Luna16 test set, and participants five through eight are from the pulmonary embolism test set. (A) Simulated input radiographs, (B) predicted thickness maps, (C) reference standard thickness maps, and (D) absolute difference between the reference standard and predicted maps. The color bars for B and C indicate lung thickness in millimeters (mm). The color bar for D indicates the pixel-level estimation error in mm.
