Below in conjunction with the drawings and specific embodiments to PET data acquisition method proposed by the present invention, PET image reconstruction method It is described in further detail with PET system.According to following explanation and claims, advantages and features of the invention will be more clear Chu.It should be noted that, accompanying drawing is using very simplified form and uses non-accurately ratio, only to conveniently, lucidly Aid in illustrating the purpose of the embodiment of the present invention.
Fig. 2 is that the PET data acquisition method in one embodiment of the invention is illustrated the step of during its data acquisition Figure, Fig. 3 be one embodiment of the invention in PET system structural representation.Below in conjunction with shown in Fig. 1-Fig. 3, in embodiment The scan method of PET system further illustrate.
First, in step s 110, by die body be positioned over it is described it is scanning bed on, the axial length of the die body is less than described The axial length of the scan vision of detector.
Specifically it refer to shown in Fig. 3, the PET system includes a detector 110 and one scan bed 120.In the PET systems In the scanning process of system, die body is placed on described scanning bed 120, and with scanning bed 120 movement, makes the mould Body can be moved into the scan vision of the detector 110, so as to be scanned using detector 110 to die body, entered And can gather and meet event from the die body.Further, the detector 110 includes multiple probe units 111, many In annular shape arrangement, the scan vision of detector 110 is for example detected by the probe unit 111 for the individual probe unit 111 Interior meets event.
Then, in the step s 120, scan vision of the scanning bed drive die body along the detector is controlled It is axially moved, while meeting event from the die body using detector cells collection.That is, data acquisition is being performed During, while making the die body axially movable, thus, you can ensure that predetermined probe unit can be by the die body It is irradiated to.
With reference to shown in Fig. 3, in the present embodiment, the axial length of the die body is less than the axle of the scan vision of detector 110 To length, therefore, when the predetermined probe unit 111 is all probe units 111 in detector 110, then in data During collection, control described scanning bed 120 can be made to drive the motion in axial direction of the die body along the detector interval More than or equal to the axial length of the scan vision of the detector, so as to make all probe units 111 to gather Meet event to from die body.
Further, when controlling axial movement that described scanning bed 120 drive the die body along the detector 110, Scanning bed 120 motion can be controlled with specific reference to the sweep parameter of the detector 110.Wherein, the detector 110 Sweep parameter is, for example, the axial length (that is, the Z-direction shown in Fig. 3) of the scan vision of sweep time and/or the detector Deng.Further, when controlling axial movement that described scanning bed 120 drive the die body along the detector 110, may be used also The die body motion is driven according to the information of die body control described scanning bed 120.Wherein, the information of the die body is, for example, Weight of the length of die body, the position of die body and die body etc., specifically, the information of the die body can be broken by the computer of die body Layer scanning (Conputed Tomography, CT) image is obtained, and the CT images of die body can be obtained by carrying out CT scan to die body .
In addition, the die body is located on scanning bed 120, and it is the motion and then drive by scanning bed 120 Die body motion, therefore, when controlling axial movement that described scanning bed 120 drive the die body along the detector 110, Also, consequently, it is possible to not only can control the movement of die body in the axial direction, can may be used also further combined with scanning bed 120 information Realize position adjustment of the die body on axial direction (that is, the Y-direction shown in Fig. 3).In the present embodiment, the scanning bed letter Breath can be scanning bed deformation factor, and the scanning bed deformation factor can be calculated by scanning bed deformation curve and obtained, Specifically, scanning bed deformation factor include the scanning bed deformation in short transverse (that is, the Y-direction shown in Fig. 3) because Son.So as to by the way that with reference to scanning bed 120 deformation factor in the height direction, scanning bed 120 height can be adjusted in real time Position is spent, the height for the die body being arranged on scanning bed 120 is consistent in its motion process, it is ensured that die body can be along Axial direction (that is, the Z-direction shown in Fig. 3) motion of detector 110.
Then with reference to shown in Fig. 2 and Fig. 3, in the present embodiment, described sweep is controlled using one scan bed motion control unit 130 Retouch bed and drive axial movement of the die body along the detector.The scanning bed motion control unit 130 can be visited according to described Sweep parameter, the information of die body and scanning bed 120 information of device are surveyed, scanning bed 120 motion is controlled, and in real time Regulate and control scanning bed 120 position.
Specifically, the scanning bed motion control unit 130 can be to the detector 110 got sweep parameter, die body Information and scanning bed 120 information carry out logical operation, to obtain scanning bed 120 motion control logic.The scanning Bed motion control logic be, for example,:Moving region on the scanning bed axial direction (Z-direction) in detector, scanning bed motion speed Degree and scanning bed acceleration and deceleration position etc..In addition, to further ensure that it is enough that detector 110 can be collected Die body data, can increase sweep time of the PET system to die body, while scanning bed 120 can also be made to move back and forth, its In, the scanning bed fortune that scanning bed 120 reciprocating number of times can also be obtained by the scanning bed computing of motion control unit 130 Dynamic control logic is regulated and controled.It should be noted that, the scanning bed motion control unit 130 control it is scanning bed 120 motion when, Scanning bed 120 persistent movement or uniform motion can be made;Obviously, can also make the scanning bed 120 non-standing motion or it is non-at the uniform velocity Motion, as long as within the period of scanning process, by controlling scanning bed 120 motion to ensure that predetermined probe unit can Die body is detected, then within this paper intention.
That is, during detector is scanned to die body, while scanning bed motion is controlled, therefore, in pin For the PET system of long axial direction, even if (axial scan that the length of die body is less than detector is regarded using the shorter die body of length Wild length), it can also ensure that predetermined probe unit can be irradiated to by die body.That is, utilize the shorter mould of length When body is scanned, also ensures that most of probe unit in detector can be irradiated to, die body is completely covered The most axial scan visual field (being, for example, 80%), or even the whole axial scan visual field can be covered.
As described above, the motion interval when die body in the axial direction along the detector is more than or equal to the detector The axial scan visual field axial length when, you can ensure that the whole axial scan visual field can be completely covered in die body, so that institute Some probe units can perform data acquisition to the die body.On this basis, all detection lists can further be utilized Correction or PET image reconstruction etc. is normalized in the data that member is gathered.Further, since to be based on one equal for all probe units Even die body rather than the data acquisition carried out by the die body being spliced to form, what all probe units were detected meets thing Part is statistically identical, therefore, when generating the normalization factor and PET image reconstruction, results in and is more defined The true normalization factor and PET reconstruction images, so as to the more accurate performance to PET system judge and Correction etc..
Based on above-described PET data acquisition method, present invention also offers a kind of method of PET image reconstruction.Fig. 4 For the schematic flow sheet of the method for the PET image reconstruction in one embodiment of the invention,
As shown in figure 4, the method for the PET image reconstruction comprises the following steps.
Step S210, the collection of data is scanned using PET data acquisition method as described above to die body.That is, exist During detector carries out data acquisition to die body, while controlling scanning bed motion, make predetermined probe unit can be by It is irradiated to.PET data acquisition method based on die body can be with specific reference to as described above, here is omitted.In the present embodiment, make The length of the interval scan vision for being more than or equal to detector of motion of the die body in axial direction in its axial direction, so that all spies Survey unit can carry out data acquisition based on the die body.
Further, when controlling scanning bed motion, the positional information of one scan bed can also be generated;And, detector When detection meets event, one scan data can be generated.The scan data is, for example,:What detector was detected multiple meets thing Part and multiple meet corresponding line of response of event (Line of Response, LOR) etc..Wherein, detect one and meet thing Line between the probe unit of two γ photons of part is referred to as line of response.
In addition, when generating scan data of the scanning bed positional information and acquisition based on die body, can also be further right Data above is stored, thus after execution continuous PET image reconstruction when, be easy to extract corresponding data.
Step S220, the positional information of the die body is obtained according to the scanning bed positional information.
During data acquisition is carried out to die body, because the scanning that the axial length of die body is less than the detector is regarded Wild axial length, therefore, at sometime node, part detection unit can gather the scan data of correspondence die body, and Another part probe unit can not be irradiated to and then made by die body its scan data collected to be not correspondence die body 's.When performing image reconstruction, it may be that the scan data collected based on die body, therefore, having for correspondence die body need to be extracted Scan data is imitated, and cannot not give up correspondingly the invalid scan data of die body, so that the PET reconstruction images generated are more accurate. Specifically, the effective scanning data of correspondence die body, can be according at corresponding timing node, scanning bed positional information is sentenced It is disconnected, in the present embodiment, the positional information of the die body is obtained using scanning bed positional information, correspondence die body is extracted with further Effective scanning data.
Step S230, corresponding scan data is extracted according to the positional information of the die body from the scan data gathered Carry out PET image reconstruction.
From the above, after the positional information of die body is obtained, you can extract the effective scanning data of correspondence die body.This implementation In example, the scan data based on die body is stored using PET scan data unit, therefore, can be according to the positional information of die body from PET Corresponding scan data is extracted in scan data unit.Certainly, it can also determine to sweep accordingly further combined with length of die body etc. Retouch data.
Specifically, as shown in figure 4, when obtaining the effective scanning data of correspondence die body to perform PET image reconstruction, can join Examine following steps:
Step S231, according to the dampening information of the die body and the scanning bed positional information, obtains full axial scan The dampening information of die body in the visual field.Wherein, the dampening information of the die body can for example be obtained by CT scan, i.e. pass through CT The CT scan data for the die body for scanning and obtaining, and according to the decay pattern of the CT scan data of die body acquisition die body, that is, obtain mould The dampening information of body.
As noted previously, as the axial length of die body is less than the axial length of the scan vision of the detector, therefore, when During by carrying out dampening information of the CT scan to obtain die body to die body, the die body in the whole axial scan visual field can not be obtained Dampening information.Therefore, by the scanning bed positional information in the present invention, and the dampening information of die body known to combination, So as in axial scan region, corresponding die body dampening information can be filled to corresponding position, and then can obtain holoaxial to sweeping Retouch the dampening information of the die body in the visual field.
Step S232, performs PET image reconstruction with reference to the dampening information of die body of the holoaxial into scan vision, generates holoaxial PET reconstruction images into scan vision.
Certainly, during PET image reconstruction is performed, in addition to according to the effective scanning of the positional information of die body extraction Data, so as to combine the dampening information and corresponding scan data generation PET reconstruction images of die body.
Wherein, the method for performing PET image reconstruction can for example use filtered back-projection (Filtered Back Projection, FBP) or order subset maximum likelihood method (Ordered Subset Expectation- Maximization, OSEM).
It should be noted that, the extraction of the acquisition process of the dampening information of die body and effective scan data in step S231 The sequencing of journey can be exchanged mutually or while carry out, and be only to be shown with example herein, be not limited thereto, as long as performing Possess the dampening information and effective scan data of die body during PET image reconstruction.
It is preferred that scheme in, still further comprise following steps in the method for PET image reconstruction:
Step S233, is normalized to the scanning bed position in the axial scan visual field of the detector and nucleic decay, To obtain scanning bed position statistical information and nucleic decay statistical information.
Wherein, what the scanning bed position statistical information can be stored by extracting in PET scan data unit is scanning bed Positional information and die body position or length information, and acquisition is normalized.During data acquisition is performed, institute Scanning bed motion is stated while driving the die body to move, and, it is described it is scanning bed moving when, it is understood that there may be acceleration or deceleration The problems such as, it is corresponding to drive die body to perform accelerated motion or retarded motion.Therefore, it is corresponding to sweep at according to each timing node Retouch the positional information of bed, and combine position (positional information of the die body on scanning bed) and/or the length of die body of die body, carry out After normalization, you can correct scan bed in motion process due to image difference caused by the factors such as scanning bed acceleration and deceleration, after making The PET reconstruction images of continuous generated corresponding die body are more accurate.
Similar, the nucleic decay statistical information also can extract PET scan number according to the scanning bed positional information According to the nucleic decay information in unit at corresponding timing node, the nucleic in the axial scan visual field of the detector is decayed Acquisition is normalized.That is, because radioactive decay can occur for nucleic, therefore, according to scanning bed positional information and extract each Nucleic decay information at individual timing node performs normalization, can avoid being decayed by nucleic and causing generated reconstruction image to be deposited The problem of deviation.
Step S234, according to the scanning bed position statistical information in the axial scan visual field and nucleic decay statistical information, And performed with reference to the PET reconstruction images and axially count correction, to obtain die body after correction of the holoaxial into scan vision PET reconstruction images.
