Abstract
Actual assessment of the modulation transfer function (MTF) of a physical system requires objective experimental data to be obtained. This paper presents four practical methods for measuring the MTF of a linear x-ray detector. These methods are based on using the ball, wire, edge, and bar/space pattern as stimuli. The measurement procedure and experimental conditions are described in detail. The MTF results obtained with these different techniques are analyzed and compared.
