Description
A chest X-ray image of a patient, which is a digital X-ray general radiographic image, having different photographing conditions, and a chest reconstructed cross-sectional image, which is a digital tomographic image composite image, are integrated and displayed at one time, and a reconstructed cross- A control method of a digital X-ray imaging system in which projection images of angles are displayed together.
General thoracic X-ray is the most basic examination of thoracic diagnosis. It is used to diagnose the chest (posterior thoracic PA) and lateral thoracic images (left / right) However, in general thoracic examination, there is a disadvantage that the resolution in the depth direction is very low due to superposition of human body structures. To solve this problem, CT image is provided by taking a CT image. However, . In order to compensate for this, tomosynthesis (tomographic image synthesis), which has a lower exposure dose than CT and provides a higher depth resolution than a general imaging, is in the spotlight recently. In particular, Tomo Synthesis uses about 7 times lower dose than CT and shows about 3 times more diagnostic efficiency than general X-ray.
Therefore, if comparing and analyzing by providing tomosynthesis and chest X-ray together, it is possible to maximize diagnostic efficiency while reducing the number of unnecessary chest CT examinations.
Digital tomosynthesis system (DTS) is a 3D tomography (CT) system, which is a 3D tomography (CT) system, It is a system to reconfigure, and in the present market, it is equipped with a tomographic image synthesis function in general X-ray imaging function. Such a system uses a general photograph as a basis, and when an additional tomographic image synthesis is required, the photographing is carried out by angle.
1 is a schematic block diagram of a digital tomographic image synthesis system.
The digital tomographic image synthesis system DTS positions the
In some cases, the
Unlike CT, the tomographic image synthesis reconstructs a section with a projection image obtained from a limited angular range. Therefore, there is a residual image of the section located at the adjacent depth, making it difficult to accurately diagnose the section to be viewed.
In order to solve this problem, it is possible to reduce the probability of misdiagnosis by comparing the projected image with the reconstructed cross-sectional image.
FIG. 2A is an explanatory view for explaining a general chest X-ray imaging method, FIG. 2B is an explanatory view for explaining a position of an X-ray generator in a general chest X-ray photographing, And FIG. 3B is an explanatory diagram for explaining the position of the X-ray generator when photographing a digital tomographic image.
As shown in FIG. 2A, in order to eliminate the difference in contrast between the tissue and the bone at the time of general digital radiography, that is, in the normal chest radiography, high-voltage imaging of 120 kVp or more is performed, Ray generator) 30 and the
However, as shown in FIG. 3A, when acquiring a digital tomographic image synthesis (Tomo Synthesis) image, that is, a thoracic tomographic image synthesis image, it is necessary to acquire a projection image at angles as wide as possible. ) 30 and the
However, normal chest radiography at 110 cm or thoracic tomosynthesis at 180 cm is not possible, indicating that two tests can not be performed at the same site.
The reason for this is that in general chest radiography, a high tube voltage (120 kVp or more) is used to minimize the difference in contrast due to the large density difference between pulmonary and ribs, Thoracic tomosynthesis requires imaging (over 180 cm), while tomography is undergoing reconstruction through several angles. Therefore, the examination is conducted under conditions less than the normal shooting conditions (100 kVp, 100 cm) Because it uses images (60 ~ 80 sheets), it keeps low condition to reduce dose as much as possible.
Thus, in general, the X-ray general radiography and the DTS radiography do not consecutively run the two examinations simultaneously because the radiographic conditions are quite different from each other. In order to integrate these, it is necessary to solve the problem of the positional shift of the X-ray tube and the change of the shooting condition.
Therefore, since digital X-ray general imaging and digital tomographic imaging are not simultaneously taken at the same time during chest radiography, the dose of patient exposure is higher than that of continuous radiography, and at the same time, it is difficult to make an accurate comparison when comparing a general X-ray image and a tomosynthesis image. In other words, it is difficult to accurately compare the lesion location in two images because the position of the lesion is shifted according to the movement of the patient's photographing posture.
FIG. 4 is an explanatory view for explaining a problem when a digital X-ray general radiographic image and a digital tomographic image composite image are not continuously shot at the same time during chest radiography.
Fig. 4 (a) shows the patient's image at the time of general X-ray imaging, Fig. 4 (b) shows the patient's image of the digital tomographic image synthetic imaging, Occurs. If the patient's posture moves up / down or left / right, the position of the
However, if these two tests are carried out consecutively, errors in the positioning of the patient can be minimized, so that an accurate comparison of the two images is possible.
In other words, if you are comparing / analyzing by providing both thoracic DTS (tomosynthesis) and normal chest X-ray, it is imperative that you run both tests continuously at the same time.
Accordingly, it is desirable to successively acquire and display a chest X-ray image of a patient, which is a digital X-ray general radiography image having different shooting conditions, and a reconstructed sectional image, which is a digital tomographic image composite image, It is also desirable to output the reconstructed cross-sectional image together with the reconstructed cross-sectional image.
In the prior art, Korean Patent No. 10-0687846 relates to a method and apparatus for reconstructing an X-ray tomographic image, that is, a digital tomographic image synthesis system. However, since Korean Patent No. 10-0687846 discloses only a reconstruction method, it is difficult to acquire a continuous X-ray image and a DTS shot image continuously.
As another prior art, Korean Patent No. 10-1226479 discloses a method of reconstructing a tomographic image of a region of interest on a three-dimensional image using a tomographic image reconstructed after a tomosynthesis reconstruction process and a tomographic image reconstructed tomographic image or a reconstructed tomographic image And a method for determining whether or not the image has been configured. Korean Patent No. 10-1226479 adds tomosynthesis function to CT, but it is difficult to acquire continuous X-ray image and DTS image continuously.
The object of the present invention is to acquire and display a chest X-ray image of a patient, which is a digital X-ray general radiographic image having different photographing conditions, and a reconstructed cross-sectional image, which is a digital tomographic image composite image, And displaying a projected image for each angle when displaying the X-ray image.

An X-ray tube is rotated by a predetermined angle along a circumference of the patient, and the chest image is acquired by the data acquisition unit and transmitted to the server by angles; And a tomosynthesis image acquisition step of generating a tomosynthesis image by reconstructing an angular chest image acquired at each angular chest radiographing step.
The control method of a digital X-ray imaging system of the present invention further includes a video output step of outputting a chest PA image, a chest radiography image at angles, and a tomosynthesis image through an output unit after the reconstructed image acquisition step .
A laser generator (laser light source) is mounted on the side of the X-ray tube, and a laser detector is mounted on one side of the detector support with the X-ray detector.
The photographing condition changing step further includes an offset size measuring step of measuring an offset size for aligning the X-ray beam center using a laser detector.
The offset magnitude measuring step transmits the laser incident point detected by the laser detector to the data acquiring part server when the center of the laser detector is away from the center of the X-ray detector by k cm, The coordinates of the point on the remote X-ray detector are detected to be the offset size for aligning the X-ray beam center.
In chest PA imaging, the distance between the X-ray tube and the X-ray detector is more than 180 cm.
In the Tomo Synthesized image acquisition step, when the virtual point at which the X-ray reaches the detector is divided by the x-coordinate and the y-coordinate, the server preprocesses the final coordinates of the reconstructed X-ray projection image; A reconstructed image acquiring step of acquiring a reconstructed X-ray projection image using the final coordinates obtained in the preprocessing step; And a post-processing step of correcting the reconstructed X-ray projection image in the reconstructed image acquiring step using an offset size for aligning the X-ray beam center.
The angular chest photographing step includes a first step of acquiring an initial angle photographing image from an X-ray detector when the X-ray tube is at a predetermined initial photographing position; A data acquiring unit acquiring an image for each angle from an X-ray detector when the X-ray tube is at a position rotated by a predetermined angle along the circumference of the patient; Determining whether the X-ray tube is positioned at the final imaging position, and if not, determining whether the X-ray tube is positioned at the final imaging position; And, if the X-ray tube is in the final imaging position in the third step, transmitting the angularly sensed images to the server.
A control method of a digital X-ray imaging system according to the present invention is a method for controlling a digital X-ray imaging system in which a data acquisition unit acquires a left chest image and a right chest image of a patient between a chest PA imaging step and a photographing condition changing step, Further comprising:

The chest PA (backward direction) image of the patient was taken such that the distance between the X-ray tube and the X-ray detector was 180 cm or more. The angle between the X-ray tube and the X-ray detector was 100 cm , And the offset size for adjusting the X-ray beam center is measured using a laser detector when photographing the chest image at each angle.

Conventionally, since the X-ray general radiography and the DTS radiography are different from each other, the two radiographic images are not continuously photographed at the same time. In the present invention, however, the problem of the positional shift of the X- In general, since the position of the patient must be adjusted again when photographing these two images, the patient positions of the general X-ray image and the DTS image are different, And the position of the lesion is shifted according to the movement of the patient's photographing posture, so that it is difficult to accurately compare the position of the lesion in the two images.

The present invention is made more user-friendly and convenient.
As described above, according to the present invention, it is possible to display three types of images together with general chest X-ray, angular chest projection, and chest tomography.

The control method of the digital X-ray imaging system for collectively and continuously acquiring images of digital X-ray general imaging and digital tomographic image synthesis of the chest of the present invention has the following advantages.
Since the patient's position is fixed and general imaging and tomosynthesis are performed, images can be compared without distortion in the images.
Tomo Synthesis provides low depth resolution compared to CT because it reconstructs images taken at a limited angle. However, when comparing three images of normal thoracic PA images, chest radiographs obtained by angle, and thorax tomosynthesis images, Can be overcome.
In addition, the accuracy of the diagnosis can be further improved by adding the left and right lateral projections to the five images.
In the integrated drive of general X-ray device and Tomo Synthesis, there is no case of mechanical movement of chest tomosynthesis considering the specificity of general chest X-ray. Angular chest projection, and chest tomosynthesis are required, and such cases have not been found in the past.
The integrated driving of digital X-ray general radiography and digital tomosynthesis for chest radiography proposed in the present invention is characterized by the use of a specific imaging (general chest radiography, cervical bone lateral radiography, dressing bone direction Shooting, etc.).
In addition, it can compensate for the inaccurate reconfiguration shortcomings of Tomo Synthesis by displaying three types of general X-ray photographs, angular projection images, and reconstructed sectional images that can be obtained as a result of integrated driving together.
Therefore, when the present invention is applied to the medical market, it is possible to activate the dissemination of Tomo Synthesis in addition to more accurate diagnosis of the patient, so that the economic and industrial expectancy effect is great.
