The OTF accounts for [[aberration in optical systems|aberration]], which the limiting frequency expression above does not. The magnitude is known as the '''[[Modulation Transfer Function]] (MTF)''' and the phase portion is known as the '''[[Phase Transfer Function]] (PTF)'''.
 
In imaging systems, the phase component is typically not captured by the sensor. Thus, the important measure with respect to imaging systems is the MTF.
