Analysis of the detailed physical property in CT system is important in an understanding of a clinical image. In this study, we evaluated resolution power property about the positions and direction for in-plane in CT system. The indexes of the resolving power property of CT images were measured by MTFs using the thin metal wire (diameter of 0.2 mm). We measured the positions of the iso-center and the off-center (32 mm, 64 mm, 96 mm, 128 mm) in in-plane. One-dimensional MTFs for the X-direction and Y-direction were calculated by the numerical slit scanning method. Then, MTF was calculated from the corresponding direction. As a result, when a filter kernel of high resolutions (B70) is used in the position of 128 mm, the resolution of X-direction was inferior to the Y-direction about 30% (at the MTF-value of 0.5 cycles/mm). Moreover, the resolution of X-direction at the position of 128 mm was inferior to the center about 33% (at the MTF-value of 0.5 cycles/mm). The resolving power property of in-plane in CT system was decreased in the calculation from the numerical slit that becomes perpendicular to the direction of centrifugal and, decreased proportionately with the distance from the center. Also, the resolutions along the centrifugal direction fell off remarkably at the peripheral area. And also, it turned out that the declining trend becomes larger, when the filter function for high-resolving power that is adapted for lungs is used.
