Description

Resolution is at least 50 μ m at the body multi-mode imaging detection system
Technical field
The present invention relates to imaging in vivo detection technique and scientific instrument apparatus structure, particularly provide a kind of structure dexterous, with low cost, detection resolution is significantly higher than the high-resolution imaging in vivo system structure of existing image technology and digital X-ray machine, CT, PET medical imaging equipment.
Background technology
Being key link in the medical system biological study at the body molecular image, is the middle bridge that transforms from the molecular cell horizontal detection to clinical practice.Routine clinical medical science imaging in vivo detection technique comprises digital X-ray perspective, CT(Computed Tomography, computer tomography), PET(PositronEmissionTomography, positron emission tomography), MRI(Magnetic Resnane Iamge, nuclear magnetic resonance) etc., these instruments are not only expensive, millions of units → several ten million yuan do not wait, and, also there is larger defective at aspects such as detection resolution, sensitivity, do not reach the testing requirement of a few cell and molecular level.As, all more than 100 μ m, common resolution based on flat panel detector has 127 μ m, 139 μ m, 194 μ m etc. to the resolution of clinical treatment digital X-ray perspective and CT detection at present; In the PET imaging in vivo was measured, owing to be subjected to the restriction of crystal bar processing technology, the present best level of the resolution that PET detects was about 1mm; In the MRI imaging in vivo was measured, owing to be subjected to the restriction of magnetic field intensity and frequency, the present best level of the resolution that MRI detects was also about 1mm.The optics imaging in vivo take the toy of Xenogen company at body visible fluorescence detecting instrument as representative, price is still relatively more expensive, about 2,000,000 → 3,000,000 yuan, owing to be subjected to the impact of tissue scatter, detection resolution reduces gradually along with organizing the deep layer diffuse transmission influence, also be about 1mm, far away from the resolution of optical microphotograph imaging.Common test sample book at the body molecular image comprises human body, toy, model organism (such as nematicide) etc.
Development along with the imaging in vivo detection technique, especially the disease early diagnosis that is applied to a few cell and molecular level detects, the imaging in vivo system of the above resolution of 100 μ m can't satisfy instructions for use at all, be necessary very much existing digital X-ray perspective, CT, PET, MRI and optics imaging in vivo method etc. are carried out innovation research, improve the resolution that its imaging in vivo detects.Simultaneously, can invent the annular detector structure that new rotation sweep detecting structure replaces conventional CT, PET, the upper employing of MRI, hardware cost that can the decrease detection system.
Image co-registration (Image Fusion) refers to the view data about same target that the multi-source channel collects is passed through image processing and computer technology etc., extract to greatest extent the favourable information in each self-channel, the high-quality image of last comprehensive one-tenth, with the utilization rate that improves image information, improve spatial resolution and the spectral resolution of computer interpretation precision and reliability, lifting original image, be beneficial to monitoring.Image co-registration is divided into three levels from low to high: pixel-based fusion, feature level merge, decision level fusion.
Pixel-based fusion also claims Pixel-level to merge, and refers to that the data that directly the detecting sensor collection obtained process and obtain the process of fusion image, and it is the basis of high-level image co-registration, also is one of emphasis of present image co-registration research.The advantage of this fusion is to keep on-the-spot initial data as much as possible, provides other to merge the trickle information that level can not provide.Have living space during Pixel-level merges territory algorithm and transform-domain algorithm have again multiple fusion rule method in the spatial domain algorithm, such as the logic filter method, and intensity-weighted averaging method, contrast modulation method etc.; Pyramid decomposition fusion method, Wavelet Transform are arranged again in the transform domain.Wavelet transformation wherein is current most important, the most frequently used method.
In feature level merges, guarantee the feature of different images inclusion information, such as the sign of infrared light for the object heat, visible light is for sign of object brightness etc.Decision level fusion mainly is subjective requirement, and some rules are equally also arranged, such as Bayesian Method, and D-S evidence act and voting method etc.
The meansigma methods of the normal combining image of blending algorithm, entropy, standard deviation, average gradient.Average gradient has reflected minor detail contrast and the texture variations feature in the image, has also reflected the definition of image simultaneously.At present there are two problems in image co-registration: choosing of the number of plies decomposed in choosing with Optimum wavelet of Optimum wavelet basic function.Image fusion technology is widely used in multi-source data is rebuild.
