This study introduces the point spread function (PSF) and modulation transfer function (MTF) to assess impedance imaging systems. Practical factors influencing MTF calculations and experimental results are presented.

Area of Science:

  • Electrical Impedance Tomography
  • Image Quality Assessment

Background:

  • Impedance imaging systems require robust methods for evaluating image quality.
  • The point spread function (PSF) and modulation transfer function (MTF) are key metrics for characterizing imaging system performance.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To introduce and apply the concepts of PSF and MTF for evaluating an impedance imaging system.
  • To analyze the impact of practical factors on MTF calculations in impedance imaging.
  • To present experimental validation from multiple research groups.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized the point spread function (PSF) to characterize spatial resolution.
  • Calculated the modulation transfer function (MTF) as the Fourier transform of the PSF.
  • Investigated the influence of noise, artifacts, and reconstruction algorithms on MTF.
