To make the object, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention clearer, below in conjunction with of the invention specific Embodiment and corresponding accompanying drawing are clearly and completely described to technical solution of the present invention.Obviously, retouched The embodiment stated only is a part of embodiment of the invention, rather than whole embodiments.Based in the present invention Embodiment, it is all that those of ordinary skill in the art are obtained under the premise of creative work is not made Other embodiment, belongs to the scope of protection of the invention.
A kind of embodiments in accordance with the present invention, there is provided method being filtered to CT data for projection.
With reference to Fig. 1, Fig. 1 show the method 100 being filtered to CT data for projection of the invention The schematic flow sheet of one embodiment.Method 100 can comprise the following steps 101 to 102.
As shown in figure 1, in a step 101, obtaining the high frequency trajectory in CT data for projection.
In one embodiment of the invention, height can be extracted by way of CT reconstruction images are guided Frequency track.Specifically, CT data for projection first can be obtained into reconstruction image, Ran Hou by reconstruction The region that density higher building body region or object density are changed greatly is identified in reconstruction image, is entered And orthographic projection is carried out to these regions and can be obtained by high frequency trajectory.
In another embodiment of the present invention, high frequency trajectory directly can be extracted on CT sinograms. Specifically, can directly identify that brightness is larger on sinogram according to threshold value set in advance With less curve, these curves can be considered to be high frequency trajectory.
In a step 102, the trend based on high frequency trajectory is filtered to CT data for projection.
In one embodiment of the invention, CT data for projection can be entered along the trend of high frequency trajectory Row filtering.That is, when filtering box (box) is applied into CT data for projection being filtered, Filtering box can be filtered along the direction of moving towards of high frequency trajectory to whole high frequency trajectory, or can edge The trend for high frequency trajectory needs the fragment for being filtered treatment to be filtered some in high frequency trajectory, And being not as prior art is filtered along View or Channel directions.Needs are filtered The fragment of ripple treatment can be can be with the weaker piece of predetermined useful signal according to CT application scenarios Section.The data for projection that the embodiment can be used for being filtered is probably useful signal and needs to increase it Strong scene.
In another embodiment of the present invention, can also be along the side perpendicular with the tangent line of high frequency trajectory It is filtered to CT data for projection.That is, work as being filtered to the certain point in high frequency trajectory When, the trend of filtering box can be perpendicular to the tangent line of the point.By that analogy, to being needed in high frequency trajectory When each to be filtered point is filtered, the trend of filtering box can cutting perpendicular to the point Line.The data for projection that the embodiment can be used for being filtered is probably noise and needs to suppress it Scene.
As for the part in CT data for projection in addition to high frequency trajectory, low frequency portion is generally considered Divide, also referred to as background data.For these data, non-directional filtering can be done, i.e.,:In each filtering Equal weight is imposed on direction.
In one embodiment of the invention, with reference to Fig. 2, step 102 can also include following sub-step 201 to 203.
In sub-step 201, selected on 360 degree of directions on the sinogram being made up of CT data for projection Take multiple filtering directions.
For example, on 0 to 360 direction, 0 degree, 45 degree, the multiple directions such as 90 degree can be chosen As filtering direction.
In sub-step 202, in multiple filtering directions, pair immediate filter is moved towards with high frequency trajectory Ripple direction sets larger weighted value and other filtering directions in multiple filtering direction is set compared with little Quan Weight values.
In the multiple filtering directions selected by sub-step 201, at least there is filtering direction and a high frequency Track to move towards direction closest or even overlap, then larger filtering power can be set to the filtering direction Weight, and for other filtering directions in multiple filtering direction, some less weighted values can be set. I.e.:The weighted value moved towards on the closest filtering direction in direction with high frequency trajectory can be more than other Weighted value on one filtering direction.
In sub-step 203, CT data for projection is filtered on multiple filtering direction according to weighted value Ripple.
In this sub-step, the weighted value that sub-step 202 is set can be applied to corresponding filtering It is filtered on direction.
In another embodiment of the present invention, with reference to Fig. 3, step 102 can also include following sub-step Rapid 301 to 303.
In sub-step 301, selected on 360 degree of directions on the sinogram being made up of CT data for projection Take multiple filtering directions.
For example, on 0 to 360 direction, 0 degree, 45 degree, the multiple directions such as 90 degree can be chosen As filtering direction.
In sub-step 302, in multiple filtering directions, the vertical line side pair with the tangent line of high frequency trajectory Greater weight value is set and to other filtering directions in multiple filtering direction to immediate filtering direction Smaller weighted value is set.
In the multiple filtering directions selected by sub-step 301, at least there is a filtering direction, the filter Ripple direction is closest with the vertical line direction of the tangent line of high frequency trajectory or even overlaps, then can be to the filtering Direction sets larger filtering weighting, and for other filtering directions in multiple filtering direction, Ke Yishe Put some less weighted values.I.e.:Power on the filtering direction closest with above-mentioned vertical line direction Weight values can be more than the weighted value on other any filtering directions.
In sub-step 303, CT data for projection is filtered on multiple filtering direction according to weighted value Ripple.
In this sub-step, the weighted value that sub-step 302 is set can be applied to corresponding filtering It is filtered on direction.
