measure of how well an imaging detector preserves the signal-to-noise ratio of the incoming radiation, as a function of spatial frequency.

In medical physics, detective quantum efficiency refers to measure of how well an imaging detector preserves the signal-to-noise ratio of the incoming radiation, as a function of spatial frequency. This meaning comes from Rabbani (1987) in Journal of the Optical Society of America A.[1]
