Performing the MTF test
F.3
The spacial resolution is characterized through the modulation
transmission function (MTF). It describes the contrast ampli-
tude of bar patterns with different local frequencies shown in
the image relative to an ideal transmission.
F.3
The 2% value of the MTF is the local frequency at which the con-
trast of periodical bar patterns of this local frequency is reduced
to 2%. In practice, the MTF values are determined using a single
thin wire.

MTF, 10% MTF an 2% MTF are displayed.
