contrast resolution

Contrast resolution refers to an imaging system’s ability to distinguish between two areas that have similar but slightly different levels of brightness or density. In medical imaging, for example, it allows us to see subtle differences between tissues, such as healthy tissue versus a small abnormality. Higher contrast resolution means the image can differentiate these slight variations more clearly, providing more detailed and accurate information for diagnosis. It is essential for identifying small or subtle features within the body, improving the clarity and usefulness of the images produced.
