106,999,129 101,822,545 102,103,745 102663709 A of A, CN of B, CN of A, CN of patent document CN, It is real that 1897033 A, CN 101799918 of CN relates separately to the equipment of Technology of Digital Subtraction Angiography, the software of method in B Existing and subsequent blood vessel enhancing, blood vessel segmentation, the elimination of motion artifacts, image co-registration of different zones angiography etc..
Wherein, method passes through additionally complete respiratory cycle image sequence of the acquisition without contrast agent in CN106999129 A With heart beat cycle image sequence, frisket is matched by breathing phases and heartbeat phase and is full of respectively in subsequent subtracting in shadow operation Respiration artefacts and heartbeat artifact is individually subtracted to realize the promotion of subtraction image quality in piece;Method belongs in 101822545 B of CN A kind of image registration techniques so that Digital Subtraction operation frisket be full of piece image registration it is more accurate, thus remove movement puppet Shadow.Method is to solve the problems, such as the elimination of motion artifacts in CN106999129 A, 101822545 B of patent CN, but complicated for operation It is cumbersome, it is more demanding to Raw data quality.
Digital Subtraction operation is realized, it can be achieved that subtraction image with the method for computer software in CN102103745 A Dynamic diagosis effect, but substantially digital phase detecting circuit technology is not promoted.
Method is a kind of blood vessel enhancing algorithm in 102663709 A of CN, utilizes empirical mode decomposition X-ray coronary angiography Image is a series of intrinsic mode functions, removes ambient noise using the regularity of distribution of noise, and then select some certain layer sheets Sign mode function is weighted construction coronary artery images, recycles the blood vessel measure function based on Hessian matrix exgenvalue Enhance the blood vessel structure in image, to improve the visual effect of contrastographic picture;1897033 A of CN is directed to digital subtraction image not Noise signal caused by tissue and background and target situation mixed in together can be completely eliminated, proposes that one kind is based on The priori knowledge of blood vessel diameter and the local threshold blood vessel segmentation method of overlap partition technology, to extract the side of target blood Method.102663709 A of CN is related to blood vessel enhancing, and 1897033 A of CN is related to blood vessel segmentation, is all based on digital phase detecting circuit behaviour It is carried out after work, to further increase blood-vessel image quality.
It is distributed the discontinuous situation of dispersion in the blood vessel for contrast agent, it is base that CN 101799918B, which is related to image co-registration, It is carried out after digital phase detecting circuit operation.Method in 101799918 B of CN is directed in digital phase detecting circuit, and single width subtracts shadow Image can only represent local vascular image situation, propose a kind of number by dynamic fuzzy technology and Ridgelet transformation theory The method for self-adaption amalgamation of subtraction image.Using the data processing method proposed in the patent document, a degree of can mention High imaging quality.
To sum up, x-ray imaging method disclosed in these above-mentioned patent documents is based on traditional digital phase detecting circuit technology, It is often difficult to solve following problems:
1) traditional x-ray imaging method based on digital phase detecting circuit technology is contrast agent subtraction imaging, is imitated to radiography The undesirable image of fruit generally improves its image quality using the algorithm enhanced to geodesic structure, and algorithm is excessively complicated and promotes effect Fruit is limited, and this algorithm is strongly depend on high dose of radiation, may lead since radiological dose is low or contrast medium concentration is too low Contrasting effects are undesirable in the original angiographic image series caused, and then influence modulation depth, reduce the resolution ratio of image.
2) traditional x-ray imaging method based on digital phase detecting circuit technology needs to subtract shadow operation to obtain vessel graph Picture, a crucial step are to find suitable frisket and be full of piece.But since sample inevitably moves and causes in angiographic procedure Frisket and it is full of between piece and there is displacement, then will greatly affect the signal-to-noise ratio of imaging.The general method using interframe registration solves This problem also needs to introduce the surface point of invasive to complete frame matching sometimes.Algorithm can greatly be increased in this way Complexity, and picture quality is promoted limited.
3) traditional x-ray imaging method based on digital phase detecting circuit technology, selection be full of contrast agent in piece can not be complete It is filled into all blood vessels but is partially perfused entirely.So single width contrastographic picture can only represent local vascular image situation.Doctor It is time-consuming and laborious and be easy to fail to pinpoint a disease in diagnosis when observing multiple angiographic image series.Therefore by each width digital subtraction angiography image co-registration Into complete image, it is allowed to be of great significance to medical aided diagnosis comprising blood vessel overall structure.But image fusion technology It is not only complicated for operation, or even new noise can be introduced.
4) traditional x-ray imaging method based on digital phase detecting circuit technology, can not be complete for any one is full of piece Portion finds suitable frisket, and is full of piece medium vessels and has biggish displacement.So good digital subtraction angiography can not be implemented The dynamic diagosis of process plays.

Specific embodiment
Below in conjunction with specific embodiment, the present invention will be further described.It should be understood that following embodiment is merely to illustrate this The range of invention and is not intended to limit the present invention.
According to one embodiment of present invention, x-ray imaging method of the invention is based on spatio-temporal filtering, specifically includes:
Step S1:The acquisition of original radiography data.It is similar with traditional X-ray digital subtraction angiography method, to making Contrast agent is perfused in shadow object, extremely complete with contrast agent perfusion for start frame before not being perfused with contrast agent under the irradiation of X-ray source Finish as end frame, the original angiographic image series of tens of to the hundreds of frames of acquisition.
In the present embodiment, radiography object is experiment mice, in animal preparation process, in external carotid artery (ECA) and neck An angiography pipe is inserted on the bifurcation of total artery (CCA), radiography region is mouse brain;Contrast agent is 180 microlitres Concentration is 280mgIml‐1B-15000 (Iopamiro) contrast agent.Wherein, contrast agent dosage according to the biological sample of imaging, at The picture factors such as region, x-ray photon flux can also specifically be adjusted within the scope of 100-500 microlitres, and contrast medium concentration can be according to life The factors such as object sample tolerance level, imaging region, x-ray photon flux can also be in 150-350mgIml‐1It is specifically adjusted in range Section.B-15000 (Iopamiro) contrast agent is a kind of non-ionic salt compounded of iodine class contrast agent, can also be by other common nonionics One of type salt compounded of iodine class contrast agent, such as Iohexol, Iopromide, Ioversol, Iodixanol, cardiografin substitute.Blood Pipe angiography tube injects external carotid artery (ECA), although contrast agent itself plays a part of promoting contrast, due to biological sample bone The influence of bone or other thicker soft tissues makes contrast agent and biological sample tissue intertexture be superimposed and subtracts under shadow operation in nothing Picture contrast is lower, or since contrast medium concentration is lower, x-ray photon flux is lower, detector detection efficient is low etc. The influence of factor, so that collected angiographic image series contrast is relatively low;Irrigation rate is had by Baoding Lange constant flow pump The LSP01-1A type Miniature injection pump control of limit company (Longerpump) production, injection rate are 133.3 μ ls‐1.X-ray source can To be synchrotron radiation X-ray, laboratory X-ray machine, Chemical Examination Material in Hospital medical imaging device, X-ray source is in Shanghai in the present embodiment The laboratory light source of synchrotron radiation light source BL13W experiment centre;Wherein the energy of X-ray is determined by used contrast agent type, one As slightly above contrast agent ABSORPTION EDGE, in the present embodiment the energy of X-ray be 33.3keV;Photon flux is according to X-ray device Operating status, imaging accessible radiation dosage size etc. factors determine, and improve in accessible radiation dosage range Photon flux can correspondingly increase image quality.Photon flux is 109—1010photonssecond‐1mm‐2In range, Photon flux is 2.38 × 1010photonssecond in the present embodiment‐1mm‐2.Detector is PCOX ray CCD (pixel size It is 6.5 × 6.5 μm, visual field size is 13 × 13mm, PCO-TECH Inc, Germany);The detector time for exposure is 10 milliseconds, adopts Integrate frame per second, that is, sample frequency Fs as 100fps.
In addition, obtaining for initial data can also be made using correspondence is intercepted from traditional temporal subtraction angiographic sequence That a part of sequence of shadow agent perfusion.
For the angiographic image series that step S1 is obtained, since contrast agent is to the absorption of X-ray, vasculature part and back There is different timing variations feature in scape tissue part.Background tissues are a series of stationary singnal in the ideal situation, but real In the operation of border due to inevitably breathing, heartbeat and the movement of other parts tissue, blood vessel is to the stress reaction of contrast agent It is one group of class periodic vibration signal or other kinds of hash in timing with the reasons such as the vibration of external equipment. Corresponding angiosomes should be ideally as the filling situation and concentration of contrast agent become due to the perfusion of contrast agent The one group of signal changing situation and changing.It is that one group of class periodic signal is superimposed upon on a step signal in practical operation.By This, its difference compared with background tissue signal of the signal of corresponding angiosomes is only in that blood vessel signal has more a step Signal, this step signal correspond to the vessel information of contrast agent perfusion.
Step S2:Two characteristic points are chosen on a wherein frame for original angiographic image series, extract the two features Point clock signal and by its clock signal Fourier transformation be frequency-region signal.
It is as shown in Figure 1 a wherein frame for original angiographic image series.In this frame of original angiographic image series Upper to choose following two characteristic points, one chooses the angiosomes pixel being clearly located on blood vessel as blood vessel characteristic point v.Its Two choose with the representative background tissues pixel of movement as background characteristics point b.Extract the timing letter of two characteristic point Number, it can be found that the signal at background characteristics point b is the superposition of cyclical signal and static direct current signal.At blood vessel feature v Signal is then similar to static direct current signal and partial periodicity Signal averaging on a step signal.Then to two extracted Clock signal carries out Fourier frequency domain transformation using the method for Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) (FFT).
Thus obtained frequency-region signal, if sample frequency is Fs;Number of samples is identical as frame number, is set as N;Then in frequency domain 0Hz frequency corresponds to direct current (DC) signal, 1*Fs/N Hz, 2*Fs/N Hz, 3*Fs/N Hz ..., i*Fs/N Hz ... (N-1) * The frequency of Fs/N Hz corresponds to high-frequency ac (AC) signal.Blood vessel characteristic point v corresponding modulus value at frequency i*Fs/N Hz is Avi, i.e. the corresponding modulus value of blood vessel characteristic point v includes Av1、Av2、Av3、…Avi…AvN‐1;Background characteristics point b is in frequency i*Fs/N Corresponding modulus value is Ab under Hzi, i.e. the corresponding modulus value of background characteristics point b includes Ab1、Ab2、Ab3、…Abi…AbN‐1
Step S3:Signature analysis is carried out to the frequency-region signal of blood vessel characteristic point v, background characteristics point b, two characteristic points b, v exist Modulus value difference under identical frequency changes with the variation of frequency, from big to small successively choose 2 modulus value it is poor, corresponding to frequency Rate is as characteristic frequency.
In the present embodiment, maximum 2 frequencies of modulus value difference are only had chosen as characteristic frequency, the two characteristic frequencies X1*Fs/N Hz=1*Fs/N Hz, x2*Fs/N Hz=3*Fs/N Hz, wherein characteristic frequency corresponding to maximum modulus value difference It is indicated by x1*Fs/N Hz, size is 1*Fs/N Hz, corresponds to blood vessel;Characteristic frequency corresponding to secondary maximum modulus value difference by X2*Fs/N Hz indicates that size is 3*Fs/N Hz, corresponds to the background tissues of movement.
Wherein, modulus value difference and X-ray intensity, detector time for exposure, contrast agent dosage, sample type thickness etc. are because being known as It closes.We in practice, under sample accessible radiation dosage, the preferable original contrastographic picture of collection image quality as far as possible Sequence, under normal circumstances, modulus value have apparent differentiable difference, about 5-20 times of modulus value.It therefore, generally also can be with Successively modulus value difference be greater than modulus value 5 times of 2-4 modulus value it is poor corresponding frequency as characteristic frequency (the i-th big mould Frequency corresponding to value difference is as characteristic frequency xi*Fs/N Hz), and 2 are not limited solely to, to distinguish blood vessel signal easily And background tissue signal.The poor corresponding characteristic frequency x1*Fs/N Hz of maximum modulus value must be the best frequency of contrast agent perfusion signal Rate, and the corresponding modulus value of blood vessel characteristic point v is necessarily greater than the corresponding modulus value of background characteristics point b under the frequency;And other features frequency Rate often corresponds to blood vessel signal or the superposition of both of motion artifacts or non-optimal, the corresponding modulus value of blood vessel characteristic point v and The corresponding smaller and size relation of the corresponding modulus value difference of background characteristics point b is indefinite.
In most cases, contrast agent is the continuous primary perfusion of constant concentration, therefore in original contrastographic picture sequence In column, the signal of blood vessel characteristic point v corresponds to step signal, and characteristic frequency is 1*Fs/N Hz.If concentration becomes when contrast agent perfusion Change perhaps has special perfusion feature off and on or in certain local special blood vessels greatly, then contrast agent perfusion is believed Number non-step signal, blood vessel characteristic frequency is also likely to be other frequencies.
Step S4:In the case where taking i=1 or 2, all pictures in radiography region are traversed in original angiographic image series Vegetarian refreshments is cooked Fourier's bandpass filtering treatment to the clock signal of each pixel on the basis of 0Hz and one of characteristic frequency, Calculate the contrast imaging parameter of each pixel, i.e. modulation depth (MDi)。
It wherein, can be in traversal radiography region if many of original image of angiographic image series clutter noise Before all pixels point, i.e., before the contrast imaging parameter for calculating every bit, denoising, example first are done to its each frame image Such as intermediate value denoising, Gauss denoising, wiener denoising.
By taking any pixel point s (x, y) as an example, the contrast imaging parameter of the point is calculated.Firstly, taking out the timing of the pixel Signal does Fourier's bandpass filtering treatment to the clock signal on the basis of 0Hz, x1*Fs/N Hz, x2*Fs/N Hz.Band logical filter Signal after wave is S0(x,y,t)、Sx1(x,y,t)、Sx2(x,y,t).Wherein, S0(x, y, t) is direct current signal, Sx1(x,y, t)、Sx2(x, y, t) is the AC signal of corresponding frequencies.For example, in the present embodiment, to blood vessel characteristic point v and background characteristics point b Clock signal, Fourier's bandpass filtering treatment is done to the clock signal on the basis of 0Hz, x1*Fs/N Hz, x2*Fs/N Hz. V point signal after bandpass filtering is Sv0(x,y,t)、Svx1(x,y,t)、Svx2(x, y, t), wherein S as shown in Figure 2 av0(x, Y, t) it is direct current signal;As shown in Fig. 2 b, 2c, the AC signal of corresponding frequencies is Svx1(x,y,t)、Svx2(x,y,t).Band logical filter B point signal after wave is Sb0(x,y,t)、Sbx1(x,y,t)、Sbx2(x, y, t), wherein as shown in Figure 2 d, Sb0(x, y, t) is Direct current signal.As shown in Fig. 2 e, 2f, the AC signal of corresponding frequencies is Sbx1(x,y,t)、Sbx2(x,y,t).AC signal is corresponding Contrast agent perfusion signal or background tissues motion artifacts signal.
Then, the output contrast imaging parameter for calculating the pixel is modulation depth (MDi), formula is as follows:
Mean(abs(Sxi(x, y, t))) it is the average value for corresponding to the absolute value of AC signal of xi*Fs/N Hz frequency. Mean(abs(S0(x, y, t))) be direct current signal absolute value average value.Denominator Mean (abs (S0(x, y, t))) effect To do normalized to the different zones of imaging.This is because due to incident X-rays inhomogeneity and contrastographic picture not With the difference of the density in region, thickness, Elemental redistribution.The pixel of different zones has the pixel Distribution value of larger difference.Cause The blood vessel of different zones has different contrasting effects.It is unfavorable for whole angiographic imaging.Therefore, returned with direct current signal work One changes, and can remove the influence of the factor.
