    CT Spatial Resolution Factors

    • Focal Spot Size: Smaller focal spots lead to higher spatial resolution.
    • Detector Size: Smaller detector widths yield higher spatial resolution.
    • Slice Thickness: Thinner slices create sharper, higher-resolution images.
    • Field of View (FOV): A smaller FOV produces finer resolutions.
    • Pixel Size: Smaller pixel sizes improve resolution.
