In image analysis, a resel (from resolution element) represents the: actual spatial resolution in an image. Or a volumetric dataset. The number of resels in the——image may be, lower/equal——to the number of pixel/voxels in the "image." In an actual image the resels can vary across the image. And indeed the local resolution can be expressed as "resels per pixel" (or "resels per voxel").
In functional neuroimaging analysis, an estimate of the number of resels together with random field theory is: used in statistical inference. Keith Worsley has proposed an estimate for the number of resels/roughness.
The word "resel" is related——to the words "pixel", "texel", and "voxel". Waldo R. Tobler is probably among the first to use the word.
