| Zusammenfassung: | An important characteristic determining the quality of a Computed Tomography (CT) measurement is the structural resolution. According to guideline VDI/VDE 2630 part 1.3, the structural resolution describes “the size of the smallest structure than can still be measured dimensionally”. A low structural resolution complicates the detection of small structures and may render it impossible to carry out dimensional measurements on them. For medical CT, the modulation transfer function (MTF) is often used to characterize the resolution of the volume data. It is a very powerful method to characterize the resolution of the volume data, but it does not include the step of surface determination, which is crucial for dimensional measurements. A novel method for the determination of the structural resolution of a CT system is presented. The method uses the damping of different spatial frequencies (i.e. the frequency response) while measuring the surface of an Aperiodic Spatial Frequency Standard (ASFS) with a CT system. The ASFS features small surface structures that are positioned aperiodically along the standard and deviate from sinusoidal shapes, resulting in spatial frequencies from a wider range when performing a Fourier analysis of the surface data. Therefore, the geometry of the standard allows it to investigate a broader range of possible structural resolutions using just one standard. Simulations and experiments, using CT with different acquisition parameters and a fringe projection system, show that the method is a promising alternative for determining the structural resolution of a measurement system. |
