Resolution limits in astronomical images
A method is introduced to derive resolution criteria for various a priori defined templates of brightness distribution fitted to represent structures and objects in astronomical images. The method is used for deriving criteria for the minimum and maximum resolvable sizes of a template. The minimum resolvable size of a template is determined by the ratio of (S NR − 1)/S NR, and the maximum detec...
متن کاملPhysical limits on atomic resolution.
It is shown that the ultimate resolution is not limited by the bandwidth of the microscope but by the bandwidth (i.e., the scattering power) of the object. In the case of a crystal oriented along a zone axis, the scattering is enhanced by the channeling of the electrons. However, if the object is aperiodic along the beam direction, the bandwidth is much more reduced. A particular challenge are ...
متن کاملSimultaneous measurement of noise and spatial resolution in PET phantom images.
As an aid to evaluating image reconstruction and correction algorithms in positron emission tomography, a phantom procedure has been developed that simultaneously measures image noise and spatial resolution. A commercially available (68)Ge cylinder phantom (20 cm diameter) was positioned in the center of the field-of-view and two identical emission scans were sequentially performed. Image noise...
متن کاملAssessment of the Wavelet Transform for Noise Reduction in Simulated PET Images
Introduction: An efficient method of tomographic imaging in nuclear medicine is positron emission tomography (PET). Compared to SPECT, PET has the advantages of higher levels of sensitivity, spatial resolution and more accurate quantification. However, high noise levels in the image limit its diagnostic utility. Noise removal in nuclear medicine is traditionally based on Fourier decomposition o...
