The two-dimensional modulation transfer function MTF(vx, vy) has been determined for the EMI CT head scanner by measuring the point spread function (PSF) in different locations in the field of view. This PSF was obtained by scanning a fine wire supported perpendicular to the tomographic slice. Based on these MTFs, the resolving power of the EMI scanner was found to be 3.1 line pairs/cm. Our results also verify the symmetry of the system response and the uniformity of the system resolution.
