Hi Abhishek,

There is substantial literature on optimization/evaluation of medical imaging systems and methods. Here are few articles of ours that might be of interest:

Article A no-gold-standard technique for objective assessment of qua...

Article An ideal-observer framework to investigate signal detectabil...

These articles also contain references to other articles on optimization.

Hope this helps
