. Which one is closer to the real size of original object?
What does this mean? Does projection x-ray imaging reflect the real size of objects
being x-rayed?
14. Principals of CT
CT provides 3D image of the object and distinguish overlapped structures.

(below graduate students)
1 ) F(0,0) represents the DC-component of the image which corresponds to
the average brightness: (u=0,v=0 =>F(0,0)=
) , (

2) F(N-1,N-1) represents the highest frequency.
17. (graduate students) Nyquist rate -- The sampling rate should be at least twice
the maximum frequency responses. Indeed many times more the better.
18. Dual energy, tomosynthesis
19. (graduate students)
--Spatial domain:
point spread function (PSF), line spread function (LSF), edge spread function
(ESF)

--Frequency domain:
Modulation transfer function (MTF)
20. FWHM: full width at half maximum

21. For medical imaging: commonly use Poisson statistics.
22. Receiver Operating Characteristics curve (ROC curve)
