How is the sharpness of an image typically measured?

By asking the question 'can I see the bony trabeculae?'

By determining if fine structures can be visualized (correct)

By measuring the ability to resolve the smallest object in the image

By analyzing the resolution of the imaging system

What is the limiting resolution of an imaging system expressed in?

Pixels per square millimeter (px/mm^2)

Line pairs per centimeter (lp/cm)

Line pairs per millimeter (lp mm^-1) (correct)

Resolution units per inch (rpi)

How can sharpness be subjectively determined in an image?

By counting the number of visible structures in the image

By viewing and asking 'can I see the bony trabeculae?' (correct)

By measuring the luminance values of the image

By analyzing the pixel density of the image
