Description

Positron emission medical imaging system and imaging method
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of molecular imaging and medical image imaging, in particular to a positron emission medical imaging system and an imaging method.
Background
The positron emission tomography PET technology is widely accepted as a new molecular imaging technology for medical applications and contributions. The PET technology takes positron nuclide carried by probe molecules as a positron emission source, and annihilates with target molecules or electrons in target organs to release two high-energy gamma photons with the energy of 511keV for radiography. Compared with the traditional imaging technology, the signal photons of the PET technology have short wavelength and strong penetrability, are not easily interfered by background scattering and auger action of other electrons, cannot be hindered by bones in a body and the like, and is an advanced medical imaging technology for observing and diagnosing pathological lesions on a molecular scale. The PET medical imaging technology can be applied to the diagnosis of malignant tumors, nervous system and cardiovascular diseases, which cannot be realized by other medical imaging technologies.
At present, a Positron Emission Tomography (PET) device mainly identifies gamma photons with the energy of 511keV, the two photons are on a straight line and cannot form a focus, so that the imaging accuracy is poor, medical misjudgment is caused, and generally the PET needs to be combined with MR or CT to construct a multimode imaging device. However, in practical situations, molecules in biological tissues are constantly vibrated and rotated, electrons therein are constantly moved at high speed, and the mutual correlation between the movements results in that the emitted gamma photons contain more broadening information, so that the structure and the position of the molecules can be more finely distinguished, and the imaging accuracy is improved.
On the other hand, because the traditional PET only collects gamma photons in the 180-degree direction, the two photons do not carry any structural information of focus molecules, and meanwhile, the reverse extension lines of the emergent directions of the two photons cannot intersect to one point, the focus position cannot be clearly positioned, the multi-mode diagnosis method is formed by usually combining MR, CT and other means for auxiliary positioning, the cost is high, and the design is complex; the molecules of the lesion must be confirmed by further biopsy, which requires biological dissection.
In order to promote the development of the technical field of molecular imaging and medical image imaging, the invention provides a positron emission medical imaging system and an imaging method.

The invention has the beneficial effects that: compared with other positron emission tomography medical imaging methods, the method can accurately position the focus molecules by using a PET means according to the fact that the two photon emitting directions deviate from 180 degrees due to the Doppler effect of high-speed movement of electrons in the molecules, and simultaneously compares the obtained gamma spectrum with the focus molecules in a database to determine the focus molecular structure, thereby avoiding the physiological anatomy process.
