Detailed description of the invention
For make technical scheme of the present invention clearer, understand, referring to the accompanying drawing embodiment that develops simultaneously, scheme of the present invention is described in further detail.
Fig. 1 is the flow chart of the multispectral formation method embodiment of the present invention.As shown in Figure 1, comprise the following steps 11~14.
Step 11: the power spectrum filter range of determining detected object separates number of times with power spectrum.
Realize very color CT imaging, need to guarantee that the data for projection under each energy is monoenergetic or approximate monoenergetic data, and in existing CT system, due to bremsstrahlung, what obtain is projected as wide range projection, therefore cannot further realize power spectrum and separate.
For this reason, in this step, the first prior information such as component and overall dimensions based on detected object, the power spectrum filter range of determining detected object separates number of times with power spectrum, thereby provides energy parameter that foundation is set for follow-up obtaining of alternation energy projection sequence.
In addition, in x-ray imaging process, by the filter plate at the additional different materials of ray emission end and thickness, as aluminum, steel and tantalum etc., can make wider continuous spectrum become the narrow spectrum of approximate monoenergetic, thereby can overcome sclerosis artifact that continuous spectrum imaging occurs etc.; Meanwhile, the attenuation quotient of different materials, along with the rate of change difference of ray energy, under the condition of monoenergetic imaging, can reach the object that detected object component is distinguished according to the rate of change difference of attenuation quotient, thereby meet the demand of multispectral imaging; But, can increase the noise level of projection to ray filtering (energy spectral filter), thereby affect projection quality; , in scheme of the present invention, need to meet under the prerequisite of component discrimination for this reason, reduce as much as possible ray filtering degree, thereby ensure projection quality.
Correspondingly, in scheme of the present invention, for every kind of component i in detected object, can be respectively according to step 1)~3) shown in mode process.
1) according to the attenuation quotient rate of change model of component i, determine the ceiling capacity Emax that component i is corresponding;
The specific implementation of this step is prior art.
2) determine the span of the least energy Emin that this Emax is corresponding according to predetermined relationship;
Described predetermined relationship is: I 0 Σ E = E min E max S ( E ) exp ( - Σ i = 1 I m i ( E ) ρ i d i ) ΔE ∈ χ ; - - - ( 1 )
Wherein, S (E) is illustrated in after energy spectral filter, and the number of photons that energy is E accounts for ray through the number of photons I before detected object 0ratio; I represents the component species number that detected object comprises, m i(E) represent the mass attentuation coefficient of component i under energy E, ρ irepresent the density of component i, d ithe thickness that represents component i, χ represents the Limit of J-validity that detector can receive, and the value of above each parameter is all known, and Δ E represents the value interval of E, if value is 1;
In actual applications, need to ensure that in the span [Emin, Emax] of energy, the data that detector receives are effective, there will not be overexposure and under exposed situation after energy spectral filter.
3) determine respectively whether the each Emin that is positioned at span meets the following conditions:
&Sigma; E = E min E max S ( E ) m i ( E ) &rho; i d i &Delta;E < 1 ; - - - ( 2 )
If so, retain this Emin, otherwise, this Emin abandoned;
In order to ensure projection quality, using retain each Emin in value minimum as Emin corresponding to component i.
By the way, obtain the power spectrum filter range of detected object, afterwards, can add up the different value numbers that occur in Emax corresponding to each component, and statistical result is separated to number of times as power spectrum, i.e. power spectrum separation number of times can be less than or equal to the component species number that detected object comprises.
Illustrate: the value of supposing I is 5, in detected object, comprise altogether 5 component kinds, if Emax corresponding to various component is respectively: 10,15,20,25,30, power spectrum separation number of times is 5 so; If Emax corresponding to various components is respectively: 10,15,20,25,10, power spectrum separation number of times is 4 so.
In addition, in the time that Emax corresponding to N component is identical, N is greater than 1 positive integer, can using value minimum in Emax corresponding this N component as this N component and Emin corresponding to this Emax.
And, for the Emax of each different values, can, according to monoenergetic approximate condition, determine material and the thickness of the filter plate that this Emax is corresponding according to (its corresponding component is corresponding) Emin of its correspondence respectively, specific implementation is prior art.
Step 12: according to definite result, detected object is become to energy imaging, obtain the alternation energy projection sequence that power spectrum separates.
In this step, can separate number of times with power spectrum according to the power spectrum filter range of determining in step 11, carry out CT scan imaging, the alternation energy projection sequence separating to obtain power spectrum.
In the time carrying out CT scan, can adopt traditional CT circle track scanning pattern, angle stepping is 1 degree, and angular range is 0~359 degree, and difference is that energy parameter changes in CT scan process.
Specifically, can be according to order from small to large, Emax to variant value sorts, and according to clooating sequence, carry out the CT scan of alternation energy according to the Emax of variant value, separate number of times according to power spectrum and determine the number of times of alternation energy, and can arrange by the tube voltage parameter of adjusting CT scan, realize the change of energy; In addition, also need to add respectively at ray emission window place the filter plate corresponding with the Emax of variant value.
Step 13: carry out multispectral CT reconstruction according to alternation energy projection sequence, obtain the decay pattern picture under different-energy.
In this step, the two-dimentional alternation energy projection sequence getting is carried out to three-dimensional reconstruction, to obtain the internal data structure of detected object under each energy in step 12.Preferably, can adopt the multispectral CT algorithm for reconstructing of low dosage, alternation energy projection sequence is carried out to multispectral CT reconstruction, to obtain the image that under each energy, quality better, component discrimination is higher.
In CT system, it is a stochastic process that the factors such as the scattering of X ray, the fluctuation noise of detector make the acquisition process of data for projection, the research of nuclear physics simultaneously also shows already, the radiation of X-ray meets Poisson random distribution, therefore, can utilize stochastic signal processing method, set up the statistical model of CT imaging process, and the theory that application parameter is estimated is carried out image reconstruction.
Visit first reading d (y) for y for detector under each energy, suppose that it is the Poisson random distribution of g (y, μ) that its obedience is expected:

Z i ( x ) = max ( y , E ) &Sigma; x &Sigma; i &mu; i ( E ) a xy ; - - - ( 9 )
