Abstract
The present invention relates generally to generate digital dental panoramic picture from the multiple frame images obtained during the dental panoramic image scanning about patients head.The generation includes the position of the X-ray beam and X-ray detector when using photographed frame during the information of aggregate frame and the information of orientation.
Description
Technical field
The present invention relates generally to dental panoramic imagings, more specifically it relates to from the dental panoramic on the head about patient
The multiple frame images obtained during image scanning generate digital dental panoramic picture.
Background technique
The traditional operation principle of panoramic x-ray apparatus includes: to surround patient while film is mobile about X-ray beam
Head driving x-ray source and can so that dental arch will be imaged on film as plane picture.
This basic operation of traditional dental panoramic imaging be included in x-ray source, image information receiver and patient it
Between generate respective mutual movement.Although several possibilities of this movement of presence generation, the most common configuration are, with
The mode for being separated from each other a distance attaches to x-ray source and image information receiver on support arm, and the arm is not then about
Dynamic patient moves in a particular manner.In this case, it is detected in intracorporal desired layer i.e. patients head to obtain
Clear (sharp) image of dental arch layer, the movement speed of film must particularly the sweeping along the desired layer to be imaged with X-ray beam
Firing rate degree is related.By the configuration, the undesirable structure before and after the desired layer in patients head is blurred and invisible.
In traditional panoramic imagery, by the instantaneous centre of rotation of the thickness for the layer clearly taken pictures and support arm to glue
The distance of piece level is directly proportional, is inversely proportional with the width of multiplying power and beam.
The basic form of panoramic imagery can be expressed as follows
V1/v0=L1/L0
V0=ω r
Here,
The distance of point of the L0=from X-ray tube focus F to the subject being imaged in given time;
L1=is from X-ray tube focus F to the distance of X-ray film (detector) plane;
ω=about instantaneous centre of rotation rotary motion angular speed;
Distance of the point of the subject of r=imaging to the instantaneous centre of rotation;And
The speed of picture point in v1=film (detector) plane.
Speed v1 and film move during panoramic imaging scan relative to the X-ray beam being incident on film as a result,
Speed is related.About digital imagery, when using so-called TDI imaging technique (time delay integration), enable through detector
The transmission speed of pixel charge is corresponding with the mobile speed of film.Therefore, it transmits when implementation scan process and charge to defer to
Be completed in the sense that the blurring of the layer outside desired layer and say when the imaging type, the image data read from sensor will with it is complete
Scape film image is corresponding.In this case, since the data read from sensor have represented that layer corresponding with speed v1,
Therefore, it as long as being concerned about the tomography layer shown in selection, even if being able to carry out image procossing after exposure, does not need simultaneously yet
And it not will do it.
The digital panoramic imaging of the prior art further includes so-called FT (frame transmission) technology.When using FT or in image scanning
When period shoots any other technology of several individual overlapping frames, when it is desirable that watch with when defer to be given above it is traditional
When the identical layer of the layer that can be obtained when panoramic imagery formula, the overlapping degree and speed of frame when building should be made to seem clearly layer
It is corresponding to spend v1.
Frame technique bring one is the advantage is that the overlapping degree determination as the frame used in image procossing will be by phase
Therefore other will be blurred of layer to the layer of enhancing after exposition, can be changed to a certain extent by changing overlapping degree
Change layer analyses imaging layer.The degree that can change of layer dependent on frame data how and obtained by what kind of means.
But generally, the limit variation (marginal change) of the only position of layer is possible.
Although also, the frame panorama system of the prior art includes a possibility that marginally changing clear layer, in image
Overlapping degree used in building is based on certain predetermined scheme.These schemes are generally comprised using the standard overlapping of frame and panoramic picture
Practical calculating do not include can and the actual imaging geometry (geometry) at the exposure position of frame of imaging system have
Any parameter closed.
Further, since the view direction of anatomical structure is mainly dominated by the imaging geometry structure for obtaining frame data, i.e.,
The geometry as based on image-forming block (the x-ray source and image information skill device) movement when obtaining frame data dominates, therefore,
The system of the prior art locks into the view direction, the reason is that they, which lack change, shows panoramic picture or their multiple portions
View direction component.
In addition, the frame imaging technique makes although may be in practice compared with when using more conventional continuous scanning technology
Must be able to use broader detector area, but existence rules, such as with can be read fast enough during image scanning
Frame and there is no the related criterion of the necessity of big modification in the multiplying power in single frame, these criterion also will be in practice
Limit the width of detector used in being set as to be imaged in the dental panoramic frame of the prior art.
Summary of the invention
The main purpose of invention and preferred embodiments thereof is to provide a kind of system, can be about each exposure by the system
Position relatively uses with the knowledge of true imaging geometry used in imaging process and obtains in single panoramic imaging scan
The frame image data taken, with provide for after exposition from frame data generate panoramic dental image it is new a possibility that.This hair
The second bright purpose includes that the frame image data for making it possible to not only obtain from single panoramic imaging scan is generated more than one
A tomography layer, but also construct and show the image or parts of images of dental arch viewed from different directions.

These and other objects.Core of the invention is panoramic scanning to be realized, so that the information of imaging geometry structure, i.e. detector
With the focus of X-ray tube and therefore the information of the position of X-ray beam and orientation be learned at their exposure position and
The information is then used to calculate panoramic dental image.
The advantages of various embodiments of the present invention provide includes that can generate from single frame data group from more than one side

As information be used to construct the pixel column C of final digital panoramic image 200 discussing in further detail below, being generated.
Do not intersect with line 210 and therefore do not include the information of the specific section of the anatomical structure represented about line 210 before frame 310
The particular column C of the panoramic picture 200 generated will be helpless to the frame shot after frame 320.
Fig. 5 indicates to explain the schematic diagram of the principle of panoramic imagery processing of the invention.The processing uses will be referred to as here
The number of position and orientation of the curve and image-forming block of virtual panoramic curve 400 during exposure in the coordinate system of the curve
According to.In other words, as explained in greater detail below, which includes the position that will represent the tomography layer to be generated
It is placed on the virtual panoramic curve 400 of shape in the coordinate system of the imaging geometry structure used when shooting frame data.
In Fig. 5, several points (P1, P2, P3, P4) are shown on virtual panoramic curve 400, each of these points can
Be considered as with it is corresponding in the position of the section of anatomical structure shown in panoramic picture.In other words, each point (P1, P2 etc.)
Represent the position of the perpendicular layers of the dental arch that be illustrated as single pixel column in the digital panoramic image generated.
Fig. 5 further shows two exposure positions, that is, the position (E ', E ") of x-ray source and detector when exposure, because
This namely runs through the anatomical structure being imaged and the position of the X-ray beam that is incident on detector.When the imaging geometry structure
When known, each point on detector will be determined at each of the exposure position of wherein projection P ' fall on the detector place
The projection P of P ' position.These subpoint P ' determine represent anatomical structure set point PN, to be used to construct panoramic picture
The pixel column on the detector of C is arranged, which can be considered as limiting the projection side of the point P about specific single frame 300
To.
From fig. 5, it can be seen that in the first exposure position E ' in exposure position, the point watched from the focus of radiation source
Projection P ' 2 of P2 fall in the position at the center for being relatively far away from detector on detector (frame), and in second position E ", projection
P " 2 substantially falls in the center of detector.This is that the picture construction processing of the prior art can be by some standard prior defined procedures
The case where being missed when the column of total overlapping frame, and embodiment discussed here makes it possible to actually knowing based on imaging geometry structure
Know the column selected for constructing panoramic picture.In other words, believe as the column for adding up to agreement only to add overlapping frame according to certain standard
The substitution of breath is determined when watching when shooting image from the instantaneous position of the focus of X-ray beam, any specified point P1, P2 etc.
Projection locating for each of frame image the particular column, and specifically make when calculating the column C of the panoramic picture generated
It is arranged with these.
Known imaging geometry structure, that is, the position of x-ray source and detector during image scanning and orientation also become
It can be by the shape or orientation or the two of change panoramic curve 400, not only to calculate the different of anatomical structure in this way
Layer and building and show subject layer viewed from different directions.By considering that the panoramic curve 400 of Fig. 5 will be about point P4's
It slightly rotates counterclockwise, it will be appreciated that this feature of the invention.Consider imaging position E ' and E ", this meeting so that projection P ' 2 and P " 2 more
Towards the left side (from the frame that the focus direction of x-ray source is watched) of detector, therefore, different pixel column informations can be chosen
It selects for constructing panoramic picture.These different column represent shown in Fig. 5 of subject to not only represent different layers
Visual angle other than different perspectives.
In principle, it is possible to use the virtual of any shape in any coordinate system for being orientated and being configured at imaging geometry structure
Panoramic curve 400.Even if this, which allows to construct the very versatile device with Fig. 1, to construct only by the wall of the device
Mechanical Moving creation shape tomography layer.
As the single part viewing vector D that on the other hand, can be determined for any number of point P1, P2 etc..In addition to
Other than Fig. 5 discussion, the desired local view direction of point P2 is also indicated comprising vector D in figure.It is such
Vector D can be used to determine the weighted factor for representing the pixel value of the column of frame of specified point P1, P2 of anatomical structure etc..For example,
From fig. 5, it can be seen that vector D and the projecting direction by being limited since the focus of radiation source and in the line of subpoint P ' end
Between second exposure position E " of the angle in Fig. 5 it is more bigger than in first time exposure position E '.When using such reality
When applying, compared with the pixel value of the column of the subpoint P ' 2 of the first exposure, the relatively small weight in picture construction can be assigned
Give the pixel value of the column of the subpoint P " 2 of the second exposure.When the principle be applied to point P projection P ' when, that is, when than other throwings
When the bigger weight in shadow direction is endowed the pixel value of some projecting direction, the feature for the anatomical structure watched from advantageous direction
It will become to be emphasised.
Process shown in fig. 6 illustrates a preferred method for realizing the principle of the present invention.In the first step of Fig. 6 method
In 500, each exposure position of frame and these frames during reading the panoramic imaging scan of execution.Then, in step 510, obtain
It must be desirably used for the virtual panoramic curve of picture construction, then which is divided into multiple point P in step 520, alternatively, in other words
It says, it, will dissection knot corresponding with the column C of the panoramic picture of generation with restriction from the multiple point P (preferably equidistantly) of the Curve selection
The point of structure.The view single (site) direction D of point P can be determined in step 530.
In practice, in view of the imaging geometry structure of panoramic imaging scan to be used for, preferably people, which know, is designed for
The virtual panoramic curve or multiple curves 400 of picture construction, so that imaging geometry structure can will reasonably generate this hope
One or more layers.
All data are currently available, then can start the column C (step 540) for generating the panoramic picture 200 to be constructed.It is first
First, in step 550, point P corresponding with the column C of panoramic picture is found, also, such as fruit dot P has been determined, then finds related
Local view direction D.Then, due to panoramic curve 400 and radiation source and each position when exposing each frame and be orientated it is known that
Therefore, such a processing (step 560) can be executed to each of frame, that is, firstly, radiating in step 570 along being originated from
The line of the focus of line source projects to point P on frame.In practice, about most of frame, due to being originated from the focus of x-ray source and wearing
Line and the most of frame for crossing the point P on panoramic curve are non-intersecting, and thus, there is no subpoint P ', still, about remaining several
A, restriction is used to construct the pixel column of the particular frame of the column C for the panoramic picture that the point P in discussing is represented by the subpoint P ' on frame
(step 580 and 610).
In the case where the local view direction D of set point P has been determined, processing further includes that part is determined in step 590
Angle between view direction D and the focus from x-ray source and the line intersected with the point P in discussion.The angle can by with
Make the weighted factor in step 600 so that, the projecting direction of point P (alternatively, in other words, referring to Fig. 5, from P to P ' vector)
More deviate desired local view direction D, frame is given in picture construction (step 610) (that is, giving the picture of the subpoint P ' of frame
Element value) weight it is smaller.After completing the processing (step 620), pass through the weighted factor by the value of given column divided by the column
Summation, the pixel value of each column C of final panoramic picture is normalized.
Procedures discussed above can provide in a most general sense with include: using by dental panoramic X-ray at
