The most conventional measure is probably the contrast-to-noise ratio (CNR), which is frequently used for CT image data (see attached link). A simple related approach to evaluate the detectability of a structure is the Rose criterion, which is based on the effective CNR, i.e. on CNR × sqrt(pixel number); according to the Rose criterion, the effective CNR should be greater than about 5 (see attached publications).
Você quis dizer: Estimado Colega. Espero ter compreendido sua questão. Assim, estas duas referencias acredito serem uteis.

Dear Colleague.
I hope I understood your question.
So these two references believe are useful.
