modulation transfer function (MTF)

Etymology: L, modulus, small measure; L, transferre, to carry, functio, performance

a quantitative measure of the ability of an imaging system to reproduce patterns that vary in spatial frequency. The MTF is useful in predicting image degradation in a series of radiographic components.
