PET will launch the radionuclide of positron (as F-18 etc., can positron radionuclide be called for short) labelling is on the compound that can participate in bio-tissue blood flow or metabolic process, this compound can be called tracer, and by this tracer injection in organisms, allow organism carry out PET video picture within the scope of the effective field of view of PET.In this process, positron radionuclide in tracer can discharge positron e+, the positron e+ discharged moves after a segment distance in vivo, can bury in oblivion with the negatron e-in surrounding, produce the γ photon of a pair energy equal (511KeV), the direction of propagation (about 180 degree) on the contrary.Utilize the sniffer of PET system, this γ photon pair can be detected, and then analyze the existence of positron, and rebuild the PET image of reflection organism each tissue metabolism situation, obtain tracer by inspection organism in CONCENTRATION DISTRIBUTION, doctor can judge the focus of the diseases such as cancer accordingly.
In order to obtain image clearly, needed to correct scanning the PET data obtained before carrying out PET image reconstruction, conventional Data correction comprises random correction, normalization correction, counting loss correction, scatter correction, correction for attenuation etc.And the method that the disclosure provides also be applied to image reconstruction before the PET Data correction stage, for eliminating the ring artifact of PET image rebuild and obtain.Because ring artifact is mainly owing to there occurs pulse pile-up phenomenon (because pulse pile-up may cause counting loss on the one hand when detecting γ photon pair, counting position mistake may be caused on the other hand, therefore easily in PET image, there is ring artifact), therefore the correction of this elimination ring artifact is called " local pulse is piled up and corrected " by the disclosure.See the example of Fig. 1, can see, after collection clinical data, in the process of the PET Data correction before image reconstruction, the disclosure needs to pile up through above-mentioned local pulse to correct.
The minimizing technology of following explanation PET image ring artifact of the present disclosure, the method has related to service acquisition phase and the clinical scanning stage of PET.Wherein, service acquisition phase mainly carries out system calibration and trimming process, such as normalization correction, counting loss correction etc.By the correction data that service acquisition phase collects, come the relevant calibration of computing system and correction factor.The factor pair clinical scan data mainly obtained by service acquisition phase in the clinical scanning stage carries out calibrating and correcting, and finally obtains desirable PET image.Specific to the disclosure, local pulse is carried out for PET data and piles up timing, will use " local pulse accumulation correction factor ", and the determination of this factor needs to use some parameters of serving acquisition phase and obtaining.Therefore, in the following description, first will be described in the parameter how service acquisition phase is determined to need to use, then be described in the clinical scanning stage and how to utilize the local pulse that obtains to pile up correction factor to correct.
Service acquisition phase: need the pulse pile-up correction factor determining that each detector module Block is corresponding respectively in this stage, namely determine each " Block pulse pile-up correction factor ".
As shown in Figure 2, simply illustrate in PET system for detecting the right sniffer of γ photon.As shown in Figure 2, the sniffer 200 of PET system generally comprises the multiple gauging rings 20 along axis arrangement, and each gauging ring 20 is assembled by multiple detector module 21, and this detector module is " Block " in the disclosure.Each detector module 21 can be made up of scintillation crystal and photomultiplier tube, scintillation crystal can absorb γ photon, and the light photon of some is produced according to the energy of γ photon, the visible light signal that scintillation crystal produces then is converted into the signal of telecommunication and exports by photomultiplier tube, such as, be converted to pulse and export.Above-mentionedly detect the event that a γ photon incides a scintillation crystal and can be referred to as " single event ".
For single Block, present disclose provides " Block Averagefactor model ", for calculating a parameter " Averagefactor BlockAvgFactor " corresponding to each Block according to this model, additionally provide " the average single event model of Block ", for calculating another parameter corresponding to each Block " average single event BlockAvgSingle " according to this model.Again according to these two parameters of BlockAvgFactor and BlockAvgSingle, calculate " the Block pulse pile-up correction factor " of corresponding Block.
See the example of Fig. 3, Block Averagefactor model is set up according to regular correction factor.Composition graphs 1 also can be seen, before local pulse piles up correction, PET system can be carried out normalization in advance and be corrected, and in the process that normalization corrects, each regular correction factor is calculated according to the regular correction data collected, the CBN shown in following formula (1) (Component-basednormalization, the normalization based on factorization method corrects) factorization method model such as can be used to calculate each correction factor.Calculate the process of regular correction factor according to regular correction data, can perform in a conventional manner, no longer describe in detail.

Wherein, ε uiand ε vjdetector crystal efficiency factor (comprise crystal intrinsic efficiency part and the dead time affects part), b uand b vthe axial segments side factor, c uimodDand c vjmodDthe cross section block side factor, d uvrkcrystal interference factor, f uvaxial geometrical factor, g uvrbe radial geometric factor, D is block detector cross section crystal number.U and v represents the ring at two detector crystal places respectively, i and j represents two positions of detector crystal in the ring of place that LOR is corresponding respectively, r represents LOR (LineOfResponse, line of response) radial position, and k represents the relative position of LOR in Block detector.
And the disclosure calculates regular correction factor under certain counting rate, and by the regular correction factor of use part, set up Block Averagefactor model, namely by the partial parameters for calculating regular correction factor, such as, Summing Factor cross section block side, the axial segments side factor, sets up Block Averagefactor model.Such as, Summing Factor cross section block side, the axial segments side factor obtained during normalization can be used to correct, the above-mentioned axial segments side Summing Factor cross section block side factor corresponding to the crystal of same position in all Block is sued for peace and is normalized, the following formula of Modling model (2):
BlockAvgFactor a , t = 1 N o r m Σ a = u mod M , t = i mod D b u c u i mod D ... ... formula (2)
Wherein, a is crystal axial location mark in Block, and t is crystal cross-section location mark in Block, M is the axial crystal number of Block, and D is Block cross section crystal number, and Norm is normalization coefficient, such as, this Norm can be by all BlockAvgFactor a,taverage, to ensure that BlockAvgFactor average is for 1; Mod in formula (2) represents modulo operation, such as, and 6mod5=1.In addition, in above-mentioned formula (2), the axial segments side factor is with b ufor example, the cross section block side factor employs c uimodD, but be not limited thereto in concrete enforcement, such as, can also b be used vreplace b u, and use c vjmodDreplace c uimodD.
As above be the foundation of Block Averagefactor model, according to this model, the parameter BlockAvgFactor of each Block can be obtained.
Fig. 4 illustrates the foundation of the average single event model of Block, and the average single event model of Block is that the counting loss correction data obtained according to service acquisition phase obtains.
Such as, the counting loss correction data under multiple counting rate can be gathered by high activity decayed source model, and set up the average single event model of Block according to this counting loss correction data.This counting loss correction data can for the single event data (single event here refers to the single photon counting that crystal receives) directly gathered, or, can also be carry out to meeting event the single event data that inverse process obtains.Block average single event model comprises many group factors, every group factor obtains under same counting rate (same to single pass), namely be the crystal count summation on position same in all Block be also finally normalized, following formula (3) is the average single event model of Block:
BlockAvgSingle a , t c = 1 N o r m Σ a = u mod M , t = i mod D S u i c ... ... .... formula (3)
Wherein, a is crystal axial location mark in Block, and t is crystal cross-section location mark in Block, c is counting rate, and M is the axial crystal number of Block, and D is Block cross section crystal number, Norm is normalization coefficient, ensures that BlockAvgSingle average is 1, S uithat system directly gathers single event data or meets the single event data that event inverse process obtains.
According to above-mentioned formula (2) and formula (3), these two parameters of BlockAvgFactor and BlockAvgSingle can be calculated, on this basis, BlockAvgFactor and BlockAvgSingle can be calculated with certain functional relationship, obtain Block pulse pile-up correction factor.Shown in following formula (4):
BlockPileupFactor a , t c = F ( BlockAvgSingle a , t c , BlockAvgFactor a , t )
... ... .... formula (4)
Wherein, be the Block pulse pile-up correction factor under certain counting rate c, F is certain functional relationship.Such as, Block pulse pile-up correction factor can be the ratio of Block Averagefactor model and the average single event model of Block, such as, and F (A, B)=A/B.
In addition, it should be noted that, in example of the present disclosure, can by the calculating of formula (4), be arranged on service acquisition phase to complete, so, in service acquisition phase, each Block obtained in detector is distinguished corresponding Block pulse pile-up correction factor, follow-up directly searching in the clinical scanning stage uses this Block pulse pile-up correction factor.Optionally, also the calculating of formula (4) can be placed on the execution of clinical scanning stage, can set flexibly in force.
The clinical scanning stage: need to determine that every bar meets two BLOCK corresponding to line of response LOR respectively in this stage, and according to " the Block pulse pile-up correction factor " of these two BLOCK, obtain local pulse corresponding to this LOR and pile up correction factor, corrected by this factor pair LOR.Wherein, line of response LOR: tracer positron annihilation can occur in vivo, the gamma photons being mutually 180 degree for a pair can be produced simultaneously, this can be received by two crystal gamma photons simultaneously, and these two crystal can determine a line, be line of response (LOR), when these two crystal receive gamma photons simultaneously, be determined and there occurs a positron annihilation on this line, so on this line, bury in oblivion number of times increase once.
Wherein, Fig. 5 illustrates and meets line of response (LineofResponse, LOR) relation and between above-mentioned Block, as shown in Figure 5, multiple gauging ring 20 forms an inner space, also show an organism 30 be in the inner space that gauging ring forms, the γ photon that the positron annihilation events 31 occurred in this inner space produces is to 32, incide along contrary direction on a pair detection block module Block21, detected detector module 21 by this, then this can be called LOR to the connecting line between Block.The PET data gathered when clinical scanning, meet line LOR by each bar detected and record, and as the example of Fig. 6, have recorded many LOR50.

Shown in formula (4), such as, Block pulse pile-up correction factor BlockPileupFactor calculates according to BlockAvgSingle and BlockAvgFactor, wherein, according to formula (2) and formula (3), each crystal in Block is a corresponding factor respectively, and BlockAvgFactor can have nothing to do with counting rate, can be the factor corresponding with " crystal that LOR is corresponding "; And BlockAvgSingle can according to the counting rate c of Block, search should the BlockAvgSingle of counting rate c, namely corresponding with " counting rate of the Block at the crystal that LOR is corresponding+crystal place " this two factors factor.After obtaining BlockAvgSingle and BlockAvgFactor, these two factors can be calculated Block pulse pile-up correction factor BlockPileupFactor according to certain function, such as, can using the ratio of BlockAvgSingle/BlockAvgFactor as Block pulse pile-up correction factor BlockPileupFactor.
In step 703, after the Block pulse pile-up correction factor BlockPileupFactor obtaining two Block corresponding to LOR respectively, according to the Block pulse pile-up correction factor BlockPileupFactor of these two Block, local pulse corresponding to this LOR can be obtained and pile up correction factor.Such as, can calculate according to following formula (5):
LORPileupFactor u i v j = BlockPileupFactor u mod e M , i mod e D C A * BlockPileupFactor v mod e M , j mod e D C B
... ... .... formula (5)
Wherein, C aand C bthe counting rate of two Block that LOR is corresponding, LORPileupFactor uivjthat the local pulse that this LOR is corresponding piles up correction factor.
In step 704, pile up correction factor according to the local pulse obtained in step 703, local pulse is carried out to described LOR and piles up correction.Such as, at timing, can be pile up by local pulse the data that correction factor is multiplied by LOR record.
