Reconstruction quality is assessed in medical imaging. An amount of local non-uniformity in a distribution of a statistical measure (e.g., MCDF) is determined. The amount indicates a level of reconstruction quality. A more easily understood amount rather than a rendering of MCDF and/or the amount being a function of local artifacts aids a radiologist in recognizing reconstruction quality and determining whether different reconstruction is warranted.
