Description

Photon counting X-ray energy spectrum detection device and imaging system based on compressed sensing
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of energy spectrum detection, in particular to a photon counting X-ray energy spectrum detection device and an imaging system based on compressed sensing.
Background
CT imaging has become medical routine equipment due to high resolution and high scanning speed, and plays an irreplaceable role in clinical diagnosis and treatment. However, there are many limitations in clinical diagnosis, which cannot meet the requirements of clinical diagnosis and treatment and the expectations of doctors. The conventional CT has the problems of beam hardening artifact, higher radiation dose, poor soft tissue distinguishing capability, capability of only providing morphological information, incapability of providing material and functional information and the like. With the advent of dual energy CT, some of the problems described above are effectively solved. The X-ray has continuous energy spectrum, and the rays passing through the substance contain abundant attenuation information of the irradiated object. The energy spectrum CT is to fully utilize the abundant attenuation information in the X-rays, effectively improve the image quality, obtain the material component information, reduce the radiation dose, enhance the contrast of soft tissues and omnidirectionally improve the CT imaging quality.
A key technique for spectral CT imaging is the detection of the X-ray spectrum. Currently, a commonly used detector for spectral CT is an X-ray photon counting detector. Photon counting (photon counting) technology was first applied to weak light detection, and detection of extremely weak incident photons was achieved by amplification, discrimination and processing of weak signals. The photon counting detector has the advantages of high photon gain, wide dynamic range, high output brightness, high response speed, small distortion, high spatial resolution and the like. The photon counting detector recognizes the energy information of the incident photons by setting a plurality of electronic thresholds, and counts the energy information corresponding to different energy areas, and counts the X-ray energy areas with wider energy spectrum distribution to obtain imaging results of the different energy areas. The photon counting detector needs to analyze each incident photon as an independent event and judge the energy interval to which the incident photon belongs, so that the interaction of different photons and substances can be overlapped when the photon counting rate is higher. Meanwhile, the number of energy regions of the photon counting detector is limited by the processing speed of electronics, and when the number of incident photons is large, an ideal result cannot be obtained.
A single pixel channel basic structure with N energy threshold photon counting detectors is shown in fig. 1. The working principle is as follows: first, when an X-ray photon reaches a photon counting detector, the detector receives the X-ray photon, generating a photon event by which the X-ray photon having a certain energy causes the detector to generate an electron charge. The electron charge then moves inside the detector towards the electrodes, generating a pulse signal. The pulse height is then compared to a given energy threshold. If the pulse height is greater than the energy threshold, the counter counts, otherwise the counter does not count. Finally, the digital-to-analog conversion unit converts the count values of the N energy threshold channel counters into digital signals and reads out the digital signals respectively. Thus, a single pixel channel detector receives X-rays and then obtains X-ray projection data having N energy thresholds. If each detector channel of the photon counting detectors of m×m pixel units has the structure shown in fig. 1, a photon counting detector of m×m is obtained.
While the advantages of photon counting detectors are becoming more and more recognized, there are still certain technical challenges to the needs of medical applications. In an X-ray/CT medical imaging system, a large number of photons need to be captured in a short time, a large amount of information needs to be converted and transmitted to a computer for storage, and there is a high requirement for electronics (ASIC). An X-ray photon counting detector with N energy thresholds suffers from the following drawbacks: pulse pile-up effect.
Pulse pile-up is always present in photon counting detector systems. It reflects one property of detector count rate and dead time. When the photon counting detector records the energy of each photon at a high rate, different energy segments of the X-ray spectrum are distinguished, and when the number of photons is excessive, some photons with consistent responses are considered as the same photon by the detector, so that the counting rate is lost and the spatial resolution is distorted, and the phenomenon is called a pulse stacking effect.

A cone beam CT imaging system comprising the photon counting X-ray energy spectrum detection device based on compressed sensing is shown in figure 3, and comprises a computer PC 1, an irradiation X-ray source 2, a rotary carrying device 3 and the photon counting X-ray energy spectrum detection device 4 based on compressed sensing.

In 2004, the compressed sensing theory proposed by Donoho and Candes et al is a brand new signal acquisition, coding and decoding theory that fully utilizes signal sparsity or compressibility. The theory states that the data is properly compressed while the signal is acquired, and compared with the traditional signal acquisition and processing process, the sampling rate is not dependent on the bandwidth of the signal any more under the framework of the compressed sensing theory, but is dependent on the structure and content of information in the signal, so that the sampling and calculation cost of the sensor is greatly reduced, and the signal recovery process is an optimized calculation process.
The precondition of compressed sensing theory is that the signal has sparsity or compressibility. Let the sampled signal X of length N, denoted X (N), N e 1,2, N]Given a set of sparse bases
Figure BDA0001267587290000051
X may be represented as ψ T Linear combination of (2) then
Figure BDA0001267587290000052
Where s and X are N1 dimensional matrices and ψ is an N matrix. Equation (1) shows that signal X is sparse in ψ. The signal has k non-zero coefficients on the sparse basis, so the situation belongs to strict sparsity. In most cases the signal is not satisfactory, but as long as the signal has compressibility, the signal can be represented by approximation coefficients. The selection of the sparse basis makes the number of the sparse coefficients of the signals as small as possible, so that the signal acquisition speed is improved. Common sparse bases are discrete cosine transforms, fourier transforms, wavelet transforms, and the like.
In the compressed sensing theory, instead of directly measuring the important relation of the sparse change of the signal, the sparse change of the signal is sparsely projected to a sampling value y on a measurement matrix phi irrelevant to a transformation base phi, namely, an M x N-dimensional observation matrix phi irrelevant to the phi is designed, wherein M is less than N, and then the observation data y in the lower dimension has the following steps:
y=φX (2)
where y is an M1-dimensional column vector and the measurement matrix phi is an M N (M < N) matrix.
By using the compressed sensing theory, for a single pixel channel of a photon counting detector, M X-ray photon energy thresholds are generated through a threshold generator, and the detector samples the photon numbers of the X-ray photon energy thresholds, so that sampling points of the M energy thresholds can be obtained. According to the threshold generator, the detector directly acquires M times of random linear measurement values instead of N (M < N) energy thresholds of the original signal, so that the possibility is provided for sampling the full spectrum of the X-rays.
According to the compressed sensing theory, the formula (2) can be converted into one l 1 The problem solution of the norm optimization problem formula (3).

The reconstruction algorithm that appears so far mainly has the following optimization problems based on equation (3): matching pursuit algorithms, convex relaxation methods, and combining algorithms. In this embodiment, an orthogonal matching pursuit reconstruction algorithm is adopted to reconstruct and obtain an X-ray energy spectrum. The X-ray energy spectrum reconstruction is carried out by utilizing the compressed sensing theory, so that the acquisition efficiency is improved, the pulse accumulation effect which can occur when the photon counting detector is directly used for acquisition is avoided, and the possibility is provided for the X-ray energy spectrum acquisition by using the photon counter.
The method for reconstructing the X-ray energy spectrum by using the photon counting X-ray energy spectrum detection system based on compressed sensing, as shown in fig. 4, specifically comprises the following steps:
step 1: according to the theoretical basis of compressed sensing, a random matrix with Gaussian distribution is generated by using a PC (personal computer) and is used as a measurement matrix, and data acquisition is carried out according to the matrix;
step 2: inputting the measurement matrix obtained by the PC in the last step into an energy threshold generator of a photon counting detection device, and inputting the generated threshold signals into a comparator of each pixel after being regulated by an energy threshold setter to acquire signals of X-rays input into each pixel;
step 3: and transmitting the signal acquired in the last step to a PC, and reconstructing an X-ray energy spectrum by adopting an orthogonal matching pursuit method.
The obtained reconstruction result is shown in fig. 5, the intensive curve with points in the graph is the reconstructed X-ray energy spectrum, the smoother curve is the ideal original X-ray energy spectrum, the reconstruction result is ideal, the acquisition speed is accelerated, and the pulse accumulation effect of the photon counting detector is effectively avoided.
Finally, it should be noted that: the above embodiments are only for illustrating the technical solution of the present invention, and are not limiting; although the invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, it will be understood by those of ordinary skill in the art that: the technical scheme described in the foregoing embodiments can be modified or some or all of the technical features thereof can be replaced with equivalents; such modifications and substitutions do not depart from the spirit of the corresponding technical solutions, which are defined by the scope of the appended claims.
