Modulation transfer function of the EMI CT head scanner.

Abstract

The two-dimensional modulation transfer function [MTF(vx, vy)] has been determined for the EMI CT head scanner by measuring the point spread function (PSF) in different locations in the field of view. This PSF was obtained by scanning a fine wire supported perpendicular to the tomographic slice. Based on these MTFs, the resolving power of the EMI scanner was found to be 3.1 line pairs/cm. Our results also verify the symmetry of the system response and the uniformity of the system resolution.
