Detailed description of the invention
Embodiment one
As shown in Figure 1, present embodiments provide a kind of decay drawing generating method of even die body, described method can adopt following steps:
Step 102: determine that the PET of generated even die body launches pixel image being formed described even die body, obtain the positional information of described pixel;
Step 104: the pad value of described even die body adopting the positional information of described pixel and obtain, generates the decay pattern that described PET launches image.
In the process of PET imaging, owing to being subject to the impact of the factor such as Compton effect, scattering, the PET of generation is caused to launch image fault.Because image is all made up of several pixels, to obtain PET image clearly, can correct by launching to PET each pixel image being formed described even die body, the decay pattern namely utilizing the dampening information of each pixel described to form is launched to described PET each pixel image being formed even die body and is corrected.
Wherein, described decay pattern needs to adopt PET to launch positional information image being formed each pixel of even die body, and described even die body pad value generates.Therefore, as long as determine that PET launches pixel image being formed described even die body, and then obtain the positional information of described pixel, recycle described even die body pad value, just can generate the decay pattern that described PET launches image.
In concrete enforcement, described PET launches the transmitting image that image can be described even die body, also can be the transmitting image in a certain cross section of described even die body, that is, the position that on described even die body, corresponding described PET launches image can be whole even die body, also can be a certain cross section of described even die body.
When described PET transmitting image is the transmitting image of whole even die body, by obtaining the volume of described even die body, then according to the corresponding relation between described volume and pixel number, the pixel number that described even die body physical size is corresponding can be obtained.
When described PET transmitting image is the transmitting image in a certain cross section of described even die body, can by obtaining the physical area in described cross section on described even die body, again according to the corresponding relation of described physical area and pixel number, obtain the pixel number that described in described even die body, physical area is corresponding.The pad value of described even die body can be known when described even die body dispatches from the factory.
In concrete enforcement, determine that the PET of generated even die body launches when image forms the pixel of described even die body, first can determine the profile region described PET image being formed described even die body, then the pixel on described profile region and in profile region is launched as described PET pixel image being formed described even die body.
As shown in Figure 2, in concrete enforcement, determine the profile region described PET image being formed described even die body, can following steps be adopted:
Step 202: obtain the pixel value that described PET launches pixel on image, described pixel value comprises max pixel value, using the pixel on the described PET transmitting image corresponding to the pixel value being more than or equal to default first threshold as the first profile region, described first threshold is the pixel value being less than or equal to described max pixel value;
Step 204: adjust described first threshold, obtains on the first profile region corresponding to first threshold after adjustment and in the first profile region, number and the corresponding described PET on described even die body of pixel launches the difference between the number of the pixel of the position of image;
Step 206: profile region image being formed described even die body is launched as described PET in the first profile region corresponding time minimum for described difference.
Below in conjunction with Fig. 3 to Fig. 6, to the process determining the profile region described PET image being formed described even die body in Fig. 2, be described in detail.
As shown in Figure 3, for the PET of a certain cylindrical body launches image.The pixel number that on described cylindrical body, corresponding described PET launches the position of image is 20106, and the max pixel value that described PET launches image is 0.0033.Wherein, the pixel value of described pixel is directly proportional to the brightness of described pixel itself, and it is also the pixel that PET launches that on image, brightness is maximum that PET launches the maximum pixel of image pixel value.
Under normal circumstances, PET launches on image, and the pixel at described even die body edge is the point that whole PET launches that on image, brightness is maximum.But in the process generating described cylindrical body PET transmitting image, due to the impact of partial volume effect, the pixel value causing some pixel at described even die body edge is on the low side, is namely less than described max pixel value.Further, some pixel produced because of scattering may be there is in described PET transmitting image.Therefore, if launch the profile region of the pixel on image as described even die body using the PET corresponding to the max pixel value of described even die body, the pixel of the described even die body of thus obtained formation, because lacking some pixel making pixel value on the low side due to partial volume effect, make the result of the pixel of the described even die body of formation finally determined not accurate enough.
In embodiments of the invention, by arranging first threshold, using the pixel on the described PET transmitting image corresponding to the pixel value being more than or equal to default first threshold as the first profile region, adjust described first threshold, to compare on the first profile region corresponding to the first threshold after adjustment and number that in the first profile region, number and the corresponding described PET on described even die body of pixel launches the pixel of the position of image.
When difference between the number that number and the corresponding described PET on described even die body of pixel on the first profile region corresponding to the first threshold after adjusting and in the first profile region launches the pixel of the position of image is minimum, pixel on first profile region and in the first profile region can comprise those pixels making pixel value on the low side because of partial volume effect, Boundary extracting algorithm or other similar approach is taked to obtain the edge of the first profile region afterwards, and the pixel got rid of because the reasons such as scattering produce outside the first profile region, therefore, the first profile region is now closest to the actual profile district of described even die body, decay pattern according to described first profile region generation is described even die body decay pattern the most accurately.
In concrete enforcement, those skilled in the art can arrange according to practical situation and adjust described first threshold.Such as, as shown in Figure 4, when described first threshold equals 5*10
-4time, the white pixel point part in figure is described first profile region.According to statistics, nearly 20664 pixels on the first profile region now and the first profile region, comprise the pixel produced because of reasons such as scatterings, cause described first profile region larger than the actual profile district of cylindrical body in described pixel.
As shown in Figure 5, when described first threshold equals 8*10
-4time, the white pixel point part in figure is described first profile region.According to statistics, nearly 20161 pixels on the first profile region now and the first profile region, substantially eliminate the pixel because the reasons such as scattering produce outside the first profile region, make the actual profile district of described first profile region and cylindrical body comparatively close.First threshold is adopted to equal 8*10
-4time the pixel positional information that obtains and the pad value of described cylindrical shape die body, generate decay pattern as shown in Figure 6.
After carrying out correction for attenuation according to the decay pattern in Fig. 6 to the PET transmitting image in Fig. 1, the PET through correction for attenuation obtained as shown in Figure 7 launches image, and the described PET through correction for attenuation launches image and is PET image.
As can be seen here, the value of described first threshold is different, and the first corresponding profile region is also constantly change.As long as described first threshold value is suitable, just can get rid of PET and launch edge's pixel loss that image is caused by partial volume effect and the pixel produced in the scattering of contour area exopathogenic factor, and then obtain the actual profile district of described cylindrical body, make thus obtained decay pattern also more accurate.After launching image rectification according to described decay pattern to PET, the PET of acquisition launches the profile region of evenly die body on image also more close to the actual profile district of described even die body.
In concrete enforcement, can adopt and adjust described first threshold with the following method: the initial value taking described max pixel value as described first threshold, reduces described first threshold.Such as: each ratio reducing described first threshold is 1% to 5%, and obtains the first difference and the second difference thus, until described second difference is greater than described first difference.
Wherein, described first difference for before once reduce after first threshold corresponding to the first profile region on and in the first profile region number and the corresponding described PET on described even die body of pixel launch the difference between the number of the pixel of the position of image; Described second difference for current once reduce after first threshold corresponding to the first profile region on and in the first profile region number and the corresponding described PET on described even die body of pixel launch the difference between the number of the pixel of the position of image.
Because described first threshold adjusts according to descending order, described difference first reduces along with the reduction of described first threshold, when described difference is decreased to a certain marginal value, then the difference reducing described first threshold and obtain will increase along with the reduction of described first threshold.That is, when the second difference is greater than the first difference, described first difference is the marginal value of described difference.Therefore, when the second difference is greater than the first difference, can stop adjusting described first threshold, profile region image being formed described even die body is launched as described PET in the first profile region corresponding to described first difference.
As shown in Figure 8, launch on image at PET, when the pixel value of the pixel of described even die body center is greater than the pixel value of the pixel produced because of reasons such as scatterings, determine that described PET launches pixel image being formed described even die body and can also comprise the steps:
Step 802: obtain the pixel value that described PET launches pixel on image;
Step 804: the accumulation calculating described pixel value being made from big to small to pixel number, obtains added up a pixel numerical value;
Step 806: when described added up a pixel numerical value equals the pixel number of the position of corresponding described PET transmitting image on described even die body, the pixel that the described PET corresponding to the pixel value of accumulated calculating launches on image is launched as described PET pixel image being formed described even die body.
Because described PET launches on image, the pixel value of pixel reduces to center gradually from the edge of even die body.Therefore, when the pixel value of the pixel of described even die body center is greater than the pixel value of the pixel produced because of reasons such as scatterings, launch on image at described PET, the accumulation calculating of pixel number can be made the pixel value of described pixel from big to small.When described added up a pixel numerical value equals the pixel number of the position of corresponding described PET transmitting image on described even die body, can think that the described PET pixel launched on image corresponding to pixel value of all accumulated calculating is described PET and launches pixel image being formed described even die body.
In concrete enforcement, for convenience of the accumulation calculating described pixel value being made from big to small to pixel number, can add up described pixel value, namely the distribution situation of described pixel value be added up.Histogrammic mode such as can be adopted to add up described pixel value, other modes also can be adopted to add up, as long as visual representation the distribution situation of each pixel value can be gone out.According to described histogrammic statistical result, more described pixel value is made from big to small to the accumulation calculating of pixel number.
Such as: as shown in Figure 9, the statistics with histogram situation that the pixel value launching pixel on image to the PET of a certain die body is done.Wherein, transverse axis represents pixel value, from left to right increases gradually.The longitudinal axis represents the number of pixel, increases gradually from top to bottom.The pixel number that on known described die body, corresponding described PET launches the position of image is a.According to step 802 to step 806, pixel value in Fig. 9 can be more than or equal to 0.65*10
-3pixel launch pixel image being formed described even die body as described PET.

Wherein, PET launches image and is made up of several pixels, and the even die body in described PET image also comprises several pixels.Described PET is launched image carries out correction for attenuation, namely pixel image being formed described even die body is launched to PET and carry out correction for attenuation.
Carry out correction for attenuation to the pixel forming described even die body, correspondingly will obtain the dampening information of each pixel of the even die body of formation, described dampening information comprises the positional information and pad value thereof that form described even die body pixel.Because the pad value of even die body can obtain, therefore, after described acquiring unit 1002 obtains the positional information of the pixel described PET image being formed described even die body, the pad value of the described positional information that described generation unit 1004 just can obtain according to described acquiring unit 1002 and described even die body, generates the decay pattern representing and form described even die body dampening information.
In concrete enforcement, in order to obtain the positional information of the pixel forming described even die body, described acquiring unit can comprise: profile region obtains subelement (not shown), for determining that described PET launches profile region image being formed described even die body, the pixel on described profile region and in profile region is launched as described PET pixel image being formed described even die body.

In the present embodiment, by arranging first threshold, the described PET corresponding to the pixel value being more than or equal to first threshold is launched pixel on image as the first profile region by described first profile region acquisition module 1102.Described first threshold adjusting module 1104 adjusts described first threshold, to compare on the first profile region corresponding to the first threshold after adjustment and number that in the first profile region, number and the corresponding described PET on described even die body of pixel launches the pixel of the position of image.When difference between the number that number and the corresponding described PET on described even die body of pixel on the first profile region corresponding to the first threshold after adjusting and in the first profile region launches the pixel of the position of image is minimum, pixel on described first profile region and in the first profile region can comprise those pixels making pixel value on the low side because of partial volume effect, and the pixel got rid of because the reasons such as scattering produce, the first profile region is now closest to the actual profile district of described even die body.Profile region image being formed described even die body is launched as described PET in the first profile region corresponding time minimum for described difference by described profile region acquisition module 1106.
In concrete enforcement, described first threshold adjusting module 1104 may be used for, using the initial value of described max pixel value as described first threshold, reducing described first threshold, such as: each ratio reducing described first threshold is 1% to 5%.Obtain the first difference and the second difference, until described first difference is greater than described second difference.
Wherein, described first difference for before once reduce after first threshold corresponding to the first profile region on and in the first profile region number and the corresponding described PET on described even die body of pixel launches the difference between the number of the pixel of the position of image, number and the corresponding described PET on described even die body of pixel launches the difference between the number of the pixel of the position of image on first profile region of described second difference corresponding to the first threshold after current once reduction and in the first profile region.
Now, described profile region acquisition module 1106 is for launching as described PET profile region image being formed described even die body using the first profile region corresponding to described first difference.Adopt the pad value of described first profile region and described even die body can generate decay pattern as described in Figure 6.
Because described first threshold adjusts according to descending order, described difference first reduces along with the reduction of described first threshold, when described difference is decreased to a certain marginal value, then the difference reducing described first threshold and obtain will increase along with the reduction of described first threshold.That is, when the second difference is greater than the first difference, described first difference is the marginal value of described difference.Therefore, when the second difference is greater than the first difference, can stop adjusting described first threshold, profile region image being formed described even die body is launched as described PET in the first profile region corresponding to described first difference.
