Description

X-ray detection X method, apparatus, detector assembly and ray detector
Technical field
The present invention relates to radiographic imaging arts, especially a kind of X-ray detection X method, apparatus, detector assembly and ray are visited Survey device.
Background technique
Line scanning imagery mode is generally used in radiant image safe examination system, detector array will transmit through object to be detected X-ray or gamma-ray signal be converted to electric signal.X-ray is had an effect with substance, is passed through after photographed object is decayed by detector Reception is converted into electric signal and forms image.Traditional Single energy X ray absorptionmetry perspective imaging provides photographed object on a perspective direction The image that integral density information is formed, cannot provide the other informations such as material density or material composition.X with spectral distribution is penetrated After line penetrates tested object, power spectrum can change, and change related with the atomic number Z of the material of tested object.In low energy Region, photoelectric effect are dominant, and with Z strong correlation;Middle low energy region Compton scattering is dominant, and weak related to Z;Under two energy The ratio of attenuation coefficient is monotonically changed with Z, can realize material identification according to the ratio.
In large-sized object radiation image-forming system, since checking matter volume is larger, such as van container detection needs to wear Thicker steel plate thoroughly, it is current that the single energy detector of dual intensity radiation from machine source cooperation or single energy accelerator cooperation dual intensity is generally used to visit Survey the dual-energy imaging material identification technical solution of device.
The dual intensity radiation from machine source of requirement by the way of to(for) detector is lower, but for radiation from machine source Technical requirements are very high, need accelerator that can be spaced and generate two kinds of pulse rays of high and low energy, need to only use a kind of two kinds of energy of compatibility The data of the photon signal respectively as high energy and low energy at the interval of the detector reception different time of X-ray detection are measured, The disadvantages of this solution be dual intensity accelerator relative to it is single can accelerator technical difficulty is big, higher cost.
Another way is to realize separately detecting for high and low energy photon using dual-energy detector.Traditional dual-energy detector can With the imaging system for single energy accelerator, what general single energy radiation from machine source generated is a continuous spectrum, can be used Two different detectors, which separately detect two kinds of radiation components of the high and low energy in ray, can be obtained the data of two kinds of energy.Dual intensity Detector is usually to be made of two detector superpositions of high and low energy, and wherein low energy detector is by a relatively thin scintillator and one Photodiode composition, high energy detector are made of one block of thicker scintillator and another photodiode.Low energy detection Device is disposed adjacent to the side of checking matter, and the main lower energy photon absorbed in X-ray energy spectrum, high energy detector is arranged in low energy spy Survey the back of device, the main high-energy photon absorbed in ray energy spectrum.Generally also match between low energy detector and high energy detector A filter plate is set further to absorb the extra low energy ray not absorbed by low energy detector in X-ray, so that dual intensity The high and low energy signal of detector is closer to the high and low energy power spectrum ratio in X-ray energy spectrum.
There is a big difference under the ray of different-energy for dual intensity material identification technology.The case where for low energy dual intensity, such as Fruit checking matter is single substance, and dual-energy x-ray is all single energy, according to substance under available two energy of pivoting results Attenuation coefficient ratio, different material has different ratio.Mass attentuation coefficient and Z of the substance under the two energy4It is directly proportional, To realize the separation of substance.The typical energy range of the low energy X ray of these dual intensity material identification technologies be 0.5MeV hereinafter, Low energy X ray can only penetrate several centimetres of steel, it is impossible to which, for detecting van container and the vehicles, the application of this respect must High quality radiant image must be provided using sigmatron (reaching 6MeV~9MeV, or higher).
If high-energy double-energy X-ray DR (Digital Radiography, Direct Digital flat panel X-ray imaging system) is imaged X-ray used is also single energy, since mass attentuation coefficient also has the rule being monotonically changed with Z value at high energy, so The method that similar low energy dual intensity single energy can be taken realizes the identification of substance.But in high energy region mass attentuation coefficient and Z Be worth it is directly proportional, material recognition capability be not so good as under Low Energy Region, identical material atom ordinal number, equivalent matter of the high energy region than Low Energy Region Amount attenuation coefficient difference is smaller, and the ability for distinguishing different materials is weaker.In addition several million-electron-volts of X-ray is usually produced by accelerator Raw, such X-ray energy spectrum is continuous, and most of photon concentrates on Low Energy Region, as shown in figure 1 the result of Monte Carlo simulation It is shown.When reaching 9MeV such as the highest energy of sigmatron, average energy maximum is no more than 2MeV, and most of photon is concentrated In 4MeV or less.Known to be dominant in 1~4MeV Compton effect, the mass attentuation coefficient of the substance of different Z values is essentially identical, because In this high energy range, the actual effect of double energy X-ray detecting material identification technology is still undesirable, i.e., when checking matter is by two kinds Or when multiple material composition, the method for being compared to identify substance with high and low energy see-through fails.But in fact, although high energy X is penetrated The power spectrum of line is very wide and high energy region proportion is less, and high energy electron pairing effect remains to provide certain material identification information.
The structure of traditional dual-energy detector, detector is made of back-to-back two groups of detectors, in X-ray incidence side To including primary scintillator array, the first photodiode array, first filters chip arrays, pcb board (Printed Circuit Board, printed circuit board), the second filter array, the second photodiode array, secondary fluor array, this structure exist The problems such as two part assembly precisions of high and low energy are difficult to control.Another dual-energy x-ray improved detects in the prior art Device is made of the first photoelectric detector, scintillator and the second photoelectric detector, and scintillator can be by single scintillator material Overall structure is spliced or is bonded by the sub- scintillator of two or more.Such structure solves to a certain extent It has determined above-mentioned problem, but as dual-energy detector, disadvantage, which coexists, still with traditional dual-energy detector not can avoid, i.e., due to dodging The thickness of bright body is during fabrication it has been determined that therefore the detection energy range of detector already determines that applicability is not wide.
