Embodiment
Below, specify preferred implementation of the present invention with reference to accompanying drawing.In the accompanying drawings, though be shown in the different drawings, identical Reference numeral is used to represent identical or similar assembly.
Realize the physical principle of material identification according to the dual intensity method; Requiring has obvious energy (power spectrum) difference with the X ray of the interactional two kinds of energy of seized object; Be detected after requiring the same voxel of X ray and the checking matter of two kinds of different-energies to interact simultaneously, thereby guarantee accurate identification the material attribute.
According to embodiments of the invention, when seized object is carried out radiation imaging inspection, at first need produce the metastable sigmatron of power spectrum by a radiation source, can accurately be surveyed behind this sigmatron and the seized object interaction.Simultaneously, after this sigmatron and scatterer interact, can produce heavy dose of forward scattering power spectrum.Just, the transmitted radiation of the X ray scattering of a fixed angle and the forward scattering behind the object interaction still can be detected useful signal by detector.
Behind X ray and the object interaction, the forward scattering radiation of generation has very big some to derive from the bremstrahlen of ray and object, so the average energy of scattering power spectrum will be starkly lower than the energy of the X ray of incident scatterer.That is to say between the sigmatron that forward scattering radiation and radiation source produce exists tangible power spectrum difference to realize.But the dosage of the forward scattering radiation that obtains after X ray and scatterer interact can reduce a lot by more original x-ray dose.Therefore, realize identification to seized object materials in order to utilize the forward scattering radiation, need let the same position of forward scattering radiation and seized object interact after, still can be surveyed accurately by detector.
The radiant image that carries out in the embodiment of the invention is based on the alignment imaging, promptly seized object of which movement, the pad value after the cross section effect of each detecting x-ray of the linear array of a detector and object.Therefore, the forward scattering radiation that can adopt also just can only be based on certain angular range.The energy of the forward scattering radiation that produces behind sigmatron and the object interaction be less than usually with object interaction before the energy of X ray.Along with the angle of scattered radiation and incident X-rays constantly increases, the average energy of scattered radiation will descend fast.When angle increases to a certain degree, the shared ratio of the high-energy photon in the scattered radiation will no longer include significant change, and this moment, the ratio of lower energy photon reached maximal value.If continue to increase angle, the ratio of lower energy photon is descended.Therefore, consider at the same time under power spectrum difference and the dosage size cases, preferably select to survey the forward scattering radiation in<15 ° of scopes.
Fig. 1 utilizes the forward scattering radiation of X ray to realize that the dual intensity method checks the synoptic diagram of seized object according to the embodiment of the invention.
Among Fig. 1, radiation source 101 for example is X-ray machine, radioactive isotope or particle accelerator, can stablize the X ray with higher-energy (power spectrum), for example the ray of 10MeV.Directly the X ray from radiation source 101 emissions possibly be the very big pencil-beam of a Space Angle, and only need gather a pencil of planes in the system of the embodiment of the invention.Therefore need carry out the shaping collimation to pencil-beam.In order to realize gathering simultaneously directly the interact forward scattering radiation of back generation of the sigmatrons of emission (below be called direct emitted radiation) and sigmatron and scatterer 106 of radiation source 101, colimated light system 109 is former cone type X-ray bundle collimation two to restraint fan-shaped x-ray beam 102a and 103a.The concrete structure of colimated light system 109 is referring to Fig. 2 A synoptic diagram.Beam 102a and 103a almost have identical power spectrum, because they are two parts of the X-ray beam of radiation source 101 emissions.
Under the not high situation of the sweep velocity that requires checking matter, when alternately gathering direct emitted radiation and forward scattering radiation as adopting, this two beams line can be same beam.Need this moment a control system to make when gathering direct emitted radiation, ray does not interact with scatterer.And when gathering the forward scattering radiation, after ray and the scatterer interaction, interact with checking matter again.
Beam 102a and seized object 105 are directly had an effect, and are transmitted radiation 102b by the radiation after object 105 decay.Reference numeral 104a representes that one is fit to survey heavy dose of detector system, generally is a line detector array.This detector array 104a can be that gas detector also can be a solid probe.Certainly, detector array 104a and detector array 104b can be different, and the former adopts the lower crystal of detection efficiency and the latter can adopt the high crystal of detection efficiency in addition; The size of detector array 104b can be greater than the size of detector array 104a; And survey the detector of forward scattering radiation, i.e. detector array 104b can adopt the detector of multilayer; Thereby advance the Effect on Detecting of a raising, improved Effect on Detecting and detection accuracy to X ray with different-energy.
Transmitted radiation 102b will be sent to the data processing work station through transmission control system after being detected by detector array 104a, and preserved.Beam 103a is used for producing the forward scattering radiation that is used for inspected object with scatterer 106 interaction backs.Scattered radiation 103a and direct emitted radiation 102a are not two collimated beams, but the emission that forms an angle, and this angle is the angle of the front scattered radiation that decision will gather.The value of this angle should be less than 60 degree, thereby the ray of guarantee gathering is the forward scattering ray of scatterer emission.Beam 103a can collimate through lineal surely system 108 before interacting with scatterer 106.But colimated light system 108 is not necessary, have only when beam 103a be a fladellum and when interacting with spherical scatterer 106, just need through passing through the such colimated light system of image pattern 2B.If the beam 103a that obtains behind collimating apparatus 109 collimations is a pencil beam, then do not needing the such colimated light system of image pattern 2B.
According to embodiments of the invention, this scatterer 106 is the spheroid that is made up of low Z material, for example C, B or organic material.
After beam 103a and scatterer 106 interact, the forward scattering that produces all angles, and the radiation that embodiments of the invention will utilize mainly just becomes that part of forward scattering radiation of predetermined angle theta with the incident ray.This θ angle is the angle between beam 103a and the beam 102a just also.Therefore after the forward scattering that utilizes the colimated light system 107 processed by heavy metal further scatterer to be produced collimates, just obtain being used to penetrate the forward scattering radiation 103b of seized object 105.Forward scattering radiation 103b is the X-ray beam of a covering of the fan, and average energy will be starkly lower than beam 102a, and parallel to each other with beam 102a.The central point of forward scattering is the central point of scatterer.
After forward scattering radiation 103b and object 105 interact, be transmitted radiation 103c by the radiation after object 105 decay.Detector array 104b is a suitable detector system of surveying than low dosage.Also will be sent to the data processing work station after transmitted radiation 103c is detected by 104b, and preserved, and carry out the processing procedure that the back is described, to obtain the material properties of object by the processor in the data processing work station through transmission control system.
Seized object 105 and other comprise the displacement that exists between all detection systems of radiation source relatively at the uniform velocity.Here can think object 105 on the direction of perpendicular ray bundle 102a and 103b with V at the uniform velocity towards a direction motion.Therefore, the value of being surveyed and being noted by detector array 104a and 104b respectively can be come the penetrating value after to the same voxel interaction of object to coupling beam 102a and 103b according to the frequency with radiation source emission X ray of speed V.When radiation source is 101 during for the radiation source of continuous mode,, can come according to the frequency acquisition of detector accurate coupling probe value like radioisotopic radioactive source.
Radiation source 101 can pass through the such colimated light system of image pattern 2A and obtain two beam X-rays.Collimating apparatus 201 will be as the colimated light system 109 shown among Fig. 1, and it is a cylindrical shape, is made up of high Z material.
Slit 202 among Fig. 2 A is the collimating slits that are used to produce 102a, and shown in side view, the seam of opening in the middle of the right cylinder is a bell mouth shape, to realize that beam 102a is the formation method of a point source form.Slit 203 is used to produce beam 103a.Become a θ angle between the slit 202 and 203.Slit 203 can be a trumpet-shaped collimating slit, and at this moment the beam 103a of emission also is a fladellum.
As another embodiment, this slit 203 also can be a thin narrow rectangle collimating slit, and this moment, the beam 103a of emission then was a pencil beam.
When beam 103a is a fladellum, in order to realize the point source imaging mode, can be with the collimating apparatus 205a among Fig. 2 B as the colimated light system among Fig. 1 108.The covering of the fan of the collimating slit of collimating apparatus 205a and beam 103a is perpendicular.That is to say; If collimating apparatus 205b is the collimating slit that produces ray 103a; For example slit 203, and the collimating apparatus that then place at 108 places in the position will be collimating apparatus 205a, and this moment, collimating apparatus 205a and 205b were 205c with the colimated light system that quadrature obtains a pen shape beam of a generation; It is a form of a stroke or a combination of strokes pencil that thereby the wire harness of scatterer is incided in realization, and makes that scatterer is approximate point source emission scattering.This has just guaranteed that whole forward scattering imaging system remains a point source imaging system.
Be under the situation of spheroidite of a larger volume when scatterer, in order to satisfy the requirement of point source imaging to a source size, also need be to the collimation on the forward scattering ray travel direction that produces.Colimated light system among Fig. 1 107 is embodied as the collimating apparatus of a radiation divergent shape, the collimating apparatus 206 shown in Fig. 2 C and Fig. 2 D.
Collimating apparatus 206 can be processed by high Z material, and adopts line cutting or relevant laser technology to obtain radial through hole.This fan-shaped colimated light system is that the center with scatterer 106 is the center of dispersing.By the scattered radiation that scatterer 106 produces, will outwards launch through the collimation through hole of these divergent shapes.Thereby form the forward scattering beam 103b of a covering of the fan, further guaranteed the size restriction of point source imaging point source.
In addition, scatterer also can not be a spheroidite but adopt cubic.In this case, need to adopt the trumpet-shaped colimated light system of a pair of shown in the collimating apparatus among Fig. 2 E 222.After the beam 103a that radiation source produces interacted with the scatterer of cubic 221, the forward scattering of generation was outwards launched through colimated light system 222 backs, and was gathered by detection system 223 behind the object interaction.Can know that according to the imaging path imaging mode of this moment also is similar to point source imaging.
For the scatterer in the foregoing description, the level height at its center is identical with the central horizontal height of radiation source divergent-ray, thereby guarantees with seized object interactional path the taking place and be parallel to each other of ray of two kinds of different-energies.
In order further to improve detection accuracy, especially on the detector system of surveying the forward scattering radiation, can use a direction collimating aperture.Shown in Figure 4, after forward scattering radiation that the rectangular cylindricality scatterer of being processed by low Z material 410 produces and seized object 411 interact, through collimating aperture 412, get into detector crystal 413, thereby surveyed and record.Collimating aperture 412 is a cubical through hole, is processed by high Z material.
Collimating aperture 412 is close to detector crystal 413.Therefore only could get at the ray of the forward test surface of vertical and crystal detection and surveyed, the more low-energy radiation of other direction will be shielded by collimating aperture, improve the collimation to direction, further improve detection accuracy.
Fig. 3 has illustrated the flow process to material identification of the embodiment of the invention.According to embodiments of the invention, before to the inspection of unknown object, want elder generation to obtain the function of material identification according to known materials.
At step S110, the forward scattering radiation 103b that launches of the X ray 102a through radiation source 101 emissions and scatterer and the interactional detection of known materials of different-thickness earlier obtains penetrating value.Selecting known materials here for use is to select according to the atomic number of material.
At step S120, mate the penetrating value of two kinds of energy to the various materials of same thickness.The transparency of these two kinds of energy be can calculate in fact earlier, promptly (dosage/not and the interactional radiation dose of seized object penetrated).Then, calculate the ratio of these two kinds of energy again.
At step S130, divide into groups according to different materials, according to the ratio that obtains in the S120 step, simulate the change curve of various materials with thickness, the function of this curve is the function of identification material.This function can be used for the material of object is discerned.
When one unknown object is detected, at step S210, the penetrating value after the material of two kinds of energy of collection and this object interacts, and do Data Matching.Then in step S220, obtain the functional value of the fitting function that in S130, obtains according to the transparency ratio of two kinds of energy that match, compare with the functional value of known materials with this functional value, thus the material properties of judgement checking matter.
At last; In order to make that the supervisory personnel can easily analysis result, will be according to recognition result and half-tone information, according to predefined sign color table; Effective atomic number and gray scale according to material are designated various colors, thereby produce the characteristic image of the material properties of expression object.Materials different in this image are represented with various colors.
In addition, Fig. 5 realizes that for utilize the forward scattering radiation of X ray according to the embodiment of the invention dual intensity method checks another structural representation of seized object.According to present embodiment; Radiation source 501 is stably externally launched sigmatron with the point source mode; Scatterer 502 directly is close to the target spot of radiation source 501; When the size of scatterer 502 on the ray emission direction is little, can think equivalently be used for seized object 509 interactional rays be to emit with the center of point source form by scatterer 502.Through the ray behind the scatterer 502 via colimated light system 503 after, be divided into two and restraint into the fladellum 504A and the 504B at θ angle, interact with testee 509.Colimated light system 503 is identical with the structure of above-mentioned colimated light system 201.At this moment, beam 504A is after the direct radiation emitted of radiographic source is passed through scatterer again, has obtained more high-octane sclerosis back power spectrum.And beam 504B is because angled with incident radiation, and its energy will be significantly less than 504A, will penetrate seized object as the forward scattering radiation.With the transmitted radiation 505a behind the object interaction, 505b is surveyed and record by detector array 506 and 507 respectively.Detector array 506 is to be suitable for surveying heavy dose of detector crystal, and detector array 507 is for there being the crystal detection of higher detection efficiency.For further improving, before the detector crystal of detector array 507, collimation through hole 508 can be installed to the collimation of transmitted radiation on direction.The structure of this collimation through hole is identical with above-mentioned collimating aperture 412 with effect.Detector array 507 and detector array 506 and not parallel, but become the θ angle, thus realize surveying the penetrating value of two kinds of different-energy rays and object interaction.
Though among this embodiment, the ray of two bundle different-energies is different with the interaction path of checking matter, be not very high to requiring the material accuracy of identification, when perhaps checking matter was thin, this method still had good practical value.Because the system of this implementation method is simple relatively, and can on a lot of existing monoenergetic x-ray imaging systems, do upgrading.
Fig. 6 realizes that for utilize the forward scattering radiation of X ray according to the embodiment of the invention dual intensity method checks the another structural representation of seized object.The accelerator of the two targets of the employing among Fig. 6 is as radiation source.The a branch of electron beam of Reference numeral 607 expressions is accelerated in accelerating tube.Reference numeral 601 is a particle deflection system, through this system of sequential control that presets.
In the time will obtaining the X ray of high energy, particle deflection system 601 does not allow electron beam 607 to produce deflection, and electron beam 607 according to original direction 607b flight, and after the first of bombardment metallic target 603, produces sigmatron through after the deflection system 601.X ray becomes a fan shape beam 608b through behind the colimated light system 605.Beam 608b is vertical each other with seized object 609, after interacting with checking matter, and detector array 610b detection and record, the penetrating value behind this sigmatron and the object interaction.As shown in Figure 6, two parts of target 603 are angled, after the particle beams of different angles is accelerated, bombard its corresponding target area, produce two beam X-rays of different angles.
