What is temporal resolution? Temporal resolution is the ability to acquire multiple images in a short amount of time. This factor becomes important when imaging moving objects such as the heart, lungs, and joints. 11. What is a modulation transfer function (MTF)? An MTF is a measure of the resolution capability of an imaging system. It is calculated as the ratio of output contrast to input contrast in an imaging system. It indicates the imaging system’s ability to retain sharpness or its blurring characteristics.

Figure 3-4. Typical PET/CT scanner with gantry (which contains x-ray tube for CT and scintillation crystals for PET) and patient table. because pairs of colinear gamma ray photons emitted in opposite directions from areas of positron annihilation are used to localize sites of radiotracer uptake in the body. This is performed by a process known as coincidence detection, where only photons with the correct energy that are detected simultaneously by detectors located 180 degrees from each other are registered as true events and used to create images.
