Abstract
The modulation transfer function for an elliptical tomographic scan is derived. Its imaging characteristics are compared with those of linear and circular scans
Sommaire
La fonction de transfert de modulation d'un balayage tomographique elliptique est dérivée dans cet article. Ses caratéristiques d'image sont comparées avec celles des balayages circulaires et linéaires.
Zusammenfassung
