\section{Image Comparison}\index{Image comparison}
Images can be compared statistically. Three measurements can be calculated
by \ctsim. They are taken from the standard measurements used by
-Herman\cite{HERMAN80}.
-$d$ is the normalized root mean squared distance measure,
-$r$ is the normalized mean absolute distance measure,
-and $e$ is the worst case distance measure over a $2\times2$ area.
-
-To compare two images, $A$ and $B$, each of which has $n$ columns and $m$ rows,
-these values are calculated as below.

-\latexonly{
-\begin{equation}
-d = \sqrt{\frac{\sum_{i=1}^{n}{\sum_{j=1}^{m}{(A_{ij} - B_{ij})^2}}}
- {\sum_{i=1}^{n}{\sum_{j=1}^{m}{(A_{ij} - A^{\_})^2}}}}

+\item[$r$] The normalized mean absolute distance measure.
+\item[$e$] The worst case distance measure over a $2\times2$ area.

+These measurements are defined in equations \ref{dequation} through \ref{bigrequation}.
+In these equations, $p$ denotes the phantom image, $r$ denotes the reconstruction
+image, and $\bar{p}$ denotes the average pixel value for $p$. Each of the images have a
+size of $m \times n$. In equation \ref{eequation} $[n/2]$ and $[m/2]$ denote the largest
