Study Notes
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.
