Temporal resolution

Temporal resolution


In another context, there is often a tradeoff between temporal resolution and computer storage. A transducer may be able to record data every millisecond,[1][2][3] but available storage may not allow this, and in the case of 4D PET imaging the resolution may be limited to several minutes.[4]

In some applications, temporal resolution may instead be expressed through its inverse, the refresh rate, or update frequency in Hertz, of a TV, for example.
