Description

[ technical field ] A method for producing a semiconductor device
The present invention relates to the technical field of Computed Tomography (CT), and in particular, to a CT helical scan image reconstruction method and apparatus.
[ background of the invention ]
Computed Tomography (CT) scans a specific part of a human body with a certain thickness of a slice with X-rays, and can reconstruct an image of the slice with a computer due to different absorption capacities of different tissues of the human body to the X-rays.
At present, a two-dimensional spiral reconstruction method is a common CT spiral scanning image reconstruction method, and the principle thereof is that spiral scanning data acquired based on CT spiral scanning first obtains tomographic data of an image plane to be constructed through interpolation, and then carries out reconstruction of a tomographic image, so the key of the two-dimensional spiral reconstruction method lies in the interpolation method.
In actual scanning, the pitch of the CT helical scanning is adjustable, and different scanning protocols have different pitch values. In some helical pitch cases, the distribution of X-rays along the z-axis is not uniform, and current interpolation methods do not take into account this non-uniformity, which can produce artifacts on the image.
Therefore, a new CT helical scan image reconstruction method is needed to reduce image artifacts caused by non-uniform distribution of helical scan data in the z-axis direction during the CT helical scan image reconstruction process.
[ summary of the invention ]

Optionally, the method further comprises determining the center and thickness of the reconstructed image, and obtaining the helical scan data range participating in reconstruction according to the center and thickness of the image.
Optionally, the helical scan data weighting factor further comprises a second weighting factor, the second weighting factor being related to a distance that the helical scan data is offset from the center of the image.
Alternatively, the helical scan data weighting factor may be obtained by multiplying a first weighting factor by a second weighting factor.
Optionally, the interpolating the helical scan data into tomographic data according to the helical scan data weighting factor may be implemented by the following formula:

[ detailed description ] embodiments
In order to make the aforementioned objects, features and advantages of the present invention comprehensible, embodiments accompanied with figures are described in detail below.
Fig. 1 is a schematic diagram of a computed tomography system, and as shown in fig. 1, a computed tomography system 100 includes a gantry 110, the gantry 110 having a rotatable portion 130 that rotates about a system axis. The rotatable part 130 has an X-ray system of oppositely arranged X-ray source 131 and X-ray detector 132. There is also a couch 120 on which a subject may be pushed into the scanning volume 133 along the z-axis direction while an examination is being performed. The X-ray source 131 rotates about the z-axis and the detector 132 moves together with respect to the X-ray source 131 to acquire projection data, which are then used for reconstruction into an image. A helical scan may also be performed during which the X-ray source 131 generates a helical trajectory relative to the subject by continuous motion of the subject along the z-axis and simultaneous rotation of the X-ray source 131, thereby obtaining helical scan data. The high voltage generating unit 134 is connected to the radiation source 131 to supply power. The physiological signal monitoring unit 141 is used for monitoring physiological signals of a scanned subject, such as: cardiac or respiratory signals. The processing unit 142 is connected to the detector 132 to obtain projection data of the subject for subsequent processing, such as: and (5) image reconstruction and processing. The control unit 140 is connected to the high voltage generating unit 134 to control the scanning process of the radiation source 131. The console and display 143 are used to present interfaces, data, and images to the user. The control unit 140 is also connected to a processing unit 142 and a console and display 143 to control the operation of the components.
The invention is an improvement on a two-dimensional spiral image reconstruction method, fig. 2 is a flow chart of the two-dimensional spiral reconstruction method, and as shown in fig. 2, the two-dimensional spiral reconstruction method of the invention comprises the following steps:
step S1 is executed to perform helical scanning to obtain helical scanning data.
Referring specifically to fig. 1 and 3, during helical scanning, the couch 120 advances along the z-axis while the rotatable portion 130 of the gantry 110 rotates around the z-axis, and the X-ray source 131 located on the rotatable portion 130 emits X-rays to form a helical scanning trajectory. The X-ray detector 132 receives X-ray signals that have passed through the subject and thereby acquires helical scan data. Among them, the X-ray detector 132 has a slice (slice) direction and a channel (channel) direction, and accordingly, the obtained helical scan data also has a slice (slice) direction and a channel (channel) direction.
Step S2 is executed to preprocess the helical scan data.
Alternatively, the method for preprocessing the helical scan data may be calibration or compensation for imperfections caused by the X-ray source, the detector, the machinery, the special data acquisition or the patient during the helical scan data acquisition, such as air calibration, center calibration, detector gain calibration, scan data noise reduction, or any combination thereof.
And step S3 is executed, and weighted interpolation is carried out on the preprocessed spiral scanning data to obtain fault data.
Step S4 is executed to rearrange the tomographic data of the sector into parallel beam data.
Since the data obtained by helical scanning is typically fan beam data, in some embodiments of the invention, the data is rearranged into parallel beam data prior to image reconstruction.
Step S5 is executed to reconstruct the rearranged data into an image.
The reconstruction method can be a filtered back projection method or an iterative reconstruction method.
It should be understood by those skilled in the art that in some other embodiments of the present invention, step S3 may be directly performed to perform weighted interpolation on the spiral scan data, and the preprocessing process of step S2 may be omitted, or step S4 may be omitted, which is not limited by the invention.
Example one
As shown in fig. 4, the helical scan image reconstruction method according to an embodiment of the present invention includes the following steps:
step S401 is executed to perform helical scanning to obtain helical scanning data.
The helical scan may be performed by the computed tomography imaging system 100 as shown in fig. 1, and the helical scan data may be acquired by the X-ray detector 132.
Optionally, the obtained helical scan data may also be preprocessed.
And S402, determining the center and thickness of the reconstructed image, and determining the range of the helical scan data participating in reconstruction according to the center and thickness of the image.
Fig. 5 is a schematic diagram of the projection of the helical scan data on the central plane, and as shown in fig. 5, the helical scan data can be regarded as the projection of the X-ray on the central plane, and the X-ray beam of each view angle (view) forms a series of ray projections arranged along the z-axis direction on the central plane, i.e. a series of helical scan data arranged along the z-axis direction. As can be seen from fig. 5, the distribution of the helical scan data in the z-axis direction is very uneven.
When helical scan image reconstruction is performed, helical scan data needs to be interpolated into tomographic data, and then the tomographic data needs to be reconstructed into a tomographic image. Therefore, firstly, the center and thickness of the reconstructed image need to be determined, and the helical scan data range participating in the reconstruction is obtained according to the center and thickness of the image. FIG. 6 illustrates the center of a reconstructed image and the range of helical scan data that participates in the image reconstruction, in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention.
Step S403 is executed to calculate a first weighting factor, where the first weighting factor is related to the density of the helical scan data in the helical scan in the z-axis direction.
Preferably, the first weighting factor is inversely proportional to the density of the helical scan data in the z-axis direction. The density can be obtained by calculating the number of rays in the z-axis direction in a certain local range.
Referring specifically to fig. 6, X-rays are projected onto a detector through a subject to produce a series of projected helical scan data, such as: n is a radical ofiAnd NjThe number of rays in the z-axis direction in a local range around the ray is calculated. E.g. for helical scan data NjAnd the spiral scan data corresponding to 3 rays in the range of the dotted line around the spiral scan data, the corresponding first weighting factor can be set to 1/3; for helical scan data NiAnd a total of 1 ray within the surrounding dashed line corresponds to helical scan data, then its corresponding first weighting factor may be set to 1.
Step S404 is executed, the helical scanning data is weighted and interpolated by using a helical scanning data weighting factor, and the tomographic data is obtained, wherein the helical scanning data weighting factor comprises a first weighting factor.
Specifically, the weighted interpolation process is as follows:
Figure BDA0000980199640000071
in formula (1), ValiFor helical scan data corresponding to the ith ray, WiAnd Val is the corresponding spiral scanning data weighting factor, and is the fault data obtained after the weighted interpolation.
Step S405 is performed to reconstruct the tomographic data into an image.
The reconstruction method can be a filtered back projection method or an iterative reconstruction method.
In some embodiments of the present invention, the tomographic data may be rearranged into parallel beam data, and then the image may be reconstructed.
Example two
Fig. 7 is a flowchart of a CT helical scan image reconstruction method according to the present embodiment, and as shown in fig. 7, steps S701, S702, and S703 of the CT helical scan image reconstruction method according to the present embodiment are respectively the same as steps S401, S402, and S403 of the first embodiment; steps S706 and S707 in this embodiment are the same as steps S404 and S405 in the first embodiment, respectively, and are not described here again. In contrast, the helical scan data weighting factor in the helical scan image reconstruction method of the present embodiment further includes a second weighting factor, and thus steps S704 and S705 are added to the present embodiment compared with the present embodiment.
Step S704, calculating a second weighting factor, wherein the second weighting factor is related to a distance of the helical scan data from the center of the image.
Preferably, a larger second weighting factor is used for helical scan data located near the center of the image and a smaller second weighting factor is used for helical scan data located at the edge of the data range.
Specifically referring to fig. 6, an image of a certain slice is reconstructed using the helical scan data within the range determined in step S301. A second weighting factor curve W used in the present embodiment is shown in FIG. 62Second weighting factor curve W used in the present embodiment2Is trapezoidal.
Step S705, calculating weighting factors of helical scan data, wherein the weighting factors of the helical scan data include a first weighting factor and a second weighting factor.
The helical scan data weighting factor W may be obtained by multiplying a first weighting factor by a second weighting factor, and may specifically be obtained by the following formula:
W=W1×W2 (2)
in the formula (2), W1Is said first weighting factor, W2Is the second weighting factor.
It will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that in other embodiments of the present invention, the helical scan data weighting factors may also include weighting factors related to other factors; in other embodiments of the present invention, step S704 may be performed first, and then step S703 is performed, which is not limited in the present invention.
