Abstract
The modulation transfer function (MTF) has been used for evaluation of radiographic image quality. However, in digital radiographic system such as a computed radiography (CR), the MTF can not be used in the same way of an analog system for evaluation because digital system is not shift-invaliant system. Then, we suggest the "MTF_<final>" which includes geometric unsharpness, detector unsharpness, unsharpness of the sampling aperture and unsharpness of the display (Laser-printer). It is an analog component in the digital system and in agreement with the definition of the MTF. Furthermore, an overall aliasing has to be used with MTF_<final> for evaluating the digital system because it is one of the important factors of the digital system. The MTF_<final> and the overall aliasing can be obtained from the overall MTFs of the center alignment and the shifted alignment.
