Description

The bearing calibration of cupping artifact in a kind of Cone-Beam CT using energy function method
Technical field
The present invention relates to technical field of medical image processing more particularly to the correction of pyramidal CT image cupping artifact, gray scales not Uniformity correction technical field of medical image processing.
Background technology
Cone-Beam CT is usually used in image guided therapy, upper abdomen inspection as the medical treatment and industrial detection instrument developed in recent years It looks into, examination of mouth, industrial detection etc..Cone-Beam CT (CBCT) based on flat panel detector is compared with traditional two-dimensional ct, tool Have the advantages that prominent, be mainly manifested in circular scanning period of Cone-Beam CT, can obtain completing hundreds of or even thousands of it is disconnected The projection of tomographic image has higher sweep speed and radiation utilization rate, and effectively reduces the load output of X-ray tube, drop Low scanning cost.The many because being known as of cone-beam CT reconstruction picture quality are influenced, such as x-ray scattering, noise, geometric error, power spectrum, spy Survey unit non_uniform response etc..But since cone-beam tablet CT uses large-scale X-ray flat panel detector, this makes image quality Be more vulnerable to compared with traditional CT X-ray scattering and beam hardening influence.Because of the artifact for scattering with being formed due to beam hardening (main includes cupping artifact and streak artifact) seriously affects analysis and judgement to reconstruction image.In the cone-beam of medical grade In CT reconstruction images, cupping artifact occupies very big proportion, in terms of these artifacts are for the visualization display based on threshold value and is based on It is influenced in terms of the pyramidal CT image segmentation of threshold value very serious.And the correction of cupping artifact can provide instead for other artifact corrections Feedback reference, being other, cone beam computed tomography (CT) scattering and beam hardening correction without priori provide verification information.Therefore the present invention is about cone-beam The correction of cupping artifact in CT is very significant.
In order to reduce cupping artifact (i.e.:CT value inhomogeneities artifact) influence, currently, the prior art or documents and materials Research is concentrated mainly on to the scatter correction in projected image.The artifact correction of early stage is mainly reflected in hardware based correction, Such as X-ray filter line device, collimator or metal grate, air-gap method, scanning slit technology and leads or stereotype technology.Recently Artifact correction research in several years is mainly reflected in based on monte carlo method, scattering analysis method of estimation and is based on partial dispersion ray The scatter correction method of measurement.Monte Carlo simulation is effectively method in CBCT scatter corrections, but calculation amount is huge. In recent years, some improved Monte Carlo simulation algorithms are also suggested, and such as use GPU acceleration techniques, the body based on model extensive Compound method etc..These thoughts based on Monte Carlo simulation all attempt to establish one preferably on simulation precision and calculating cost Equalization point.But it is too high to be confined to calculating cost always, without easy to use.
There are BSA scatter removal methods in method based on the Cone-Beam CT artifact correction that part ray blocks, early stage, are logical It crosses measurement and blocks the scattered quantum below array in ray, carry out interpolation and go out the whole scatter distributions reached on detector.Then again into Row blocks the normal scan of array without ray, and scatter distributions image is subtracted from the projected image of scanning, is just corrected Image afterwards.This method will carry out twice sweep, and x-ray irradiation dose is also increased while increasing sweep time.Afterwards Fast method is blocked to occur moving, can solve the problems, such as twice sweep.
Also there is the research to the image progress artifact correction after cone-beam CT reconstruction.The research is mainly by the solution in CT images Cut open structure.Such methods are completely dependent on deformable registration precision, and need CT image datas.
The shortcomings that prior art includes mainly:
(1) currently available technology is primarily directed to projection image correction, not directly against the school of sectioning image after reconstruction Just, such as patent CN104408753A.
(2) most of prior art concentrates in the method for artifact correction caused by due to scattering, and needs to add mostly Add hardware device, such as:Patent 200710019084 and 201310039298, the two patents are required for setting in expensive Cone-Beam CT Standby upper addition hardware device, increases the complexity of operation and causes potential security risk to equipment.Especially patent 200710019084 need twice sweep testee, so the undoubtedly amount of radiation of increased measured object.
In conclusion in the method for the prior art or documents and materials, Monte-carlo Simulation Method expends the time very much, just Correction result is limited to the structure of modulation panel itself in grade ray modulation method, is based on partial dispersion radionetric survey method, needs Increase exposure dose, existing method is not high to the accuracy of estimation of scatter distributions.And the present invention can well solve above Problem.
