In other examples, in addition to pre-generatmg target velocity, target velocity can also be generated in real time during scan control, Or target velocity can also be determined by other means, the embodiment of the present application is without limitation.
After determining target velocity, in order to improve scan efficiency, it may be preferable to control examination couch and be accelerated extremely from static When scanning starting position, speed reaches target velocity just.In one embodiment, examination couch can be controlled by following operation In the scanning time started, the scanning starting position is moved to target speed, and continue with the target velocity To the scan end position uniform motion:
The examination couch is controlled to park to away from the position for starting scan position preset distance;Wherein, the pre- spacing Curve is accelerated by it from for the examination couch, from the static minimum movement distance for accelerating to the target velocity.
At the time of the examination couch is controlled from apart from the scanning time started scheduled duration, start to accelerate by it bent Line accelerates;Wherein, the scheduled duration accelerates curve by it for the examination couch and accelerates to the target from static The minimum movement duration of speed.By taking checked object is heart as an example, the time for starting to accelerate curve accelerated motion by it can To refer to t0n in Fig. 3 B, the scheduled duration can refer to the difference of t1n and t0n in Fig. 3 B.
After the examination couch accelerates the scheduled duration, the examination couch uniform motion is controlled.
Wherein, the accelerated motion curve of examination couch is determined by its own performance, can be by staff by repeatedly moving Test, obtains the accelerated motion curve of examination couch.The accelerated motion curve can indicate that examination couch with different acceleration, accelerates The distance of the time and movement expended to friction speed.
In addition, reaching and sweeping to further increase scan efficiency after preferably examination couch moves to scanning starting position It retouches the time started, the movement of checked object also has scheduled motion feature, in order to realize the purpose.In one embodiment, Scheduled motion feature is feature when motion change is most slow, and examination couch can be controlled by following operation and is opened in the scanning Begin the time, the scanning starting position is moved to target speed, and continue to tie with the target velocity to the scanning Beam position uniform motion:
Based on the real time kinematics signal, judge current time whether reach the checked object most motion intense when Between;
If it is, controlling the examination couch after predetermined delay duration and starting to accelerate curve accelerated motion by it;
After the examination couch accelerates scheduled duration, the examination couch uniform motion is controlled;
Wherein, the scheduled duration accelerates curve by it for the examination couch and accelerates to the target velocity from static Minimum movement duration;
The predetermined delay duration is that the scanning time started and the scheduled duration and the checked object move most The difference of the predicted time value at violent moment.
This example can be using checked object as heart, and scanning device is for CT scan equipment, the checked object movement is most The violent time is the time that the peak R reaches in Fig. 3 B, and predetermined delay duration can refer to t0n and the peak R with the period of motion in Fig. 3 B The difference of the time of arrival.
In other examples, examination couch can also be controlled by other means from the scanning time started, is transported with target Dynamic speed is mobile from the scanning starting position to the scan end position, such as: control examination couch is from far from first motion position Place is set, slowly accelerates to target velocity at the beginning scan position, the time then started in the scanning, with target speed Uniform motion is spent to the scanning starting position, and continues uniform motion.
In addition, can control examination couch after reaching the end of scan time by its retarded motion curve, slowing down until speed It is zero, the difference that the smallest decrement time is t3n and t2n in Fig. 3 B, minimum movement distance is that curve and t3n and t2n are constituted Region area, stand be the corresponding position t3n.
And scanning device can stop the scanning to the checked object in the end of scan time.
As can be seen from the above embodiments: from the control examination couch self-scanning time started, with target speed since scanning Position is mobile to scan end position, while controlling the scanning device self-scanning time started, starts continuous scanning checked object, directly To the end of scan time.Wherein, scanning time started and end of scan time are moved with checked object with predetermined motion feature Predicted time it is corresponding, it is scanning bed move to and start scan position while start continuous scanning, can will retouch the position of bed It is associated with the moving situation of checked object.Therefore, checked object can be driven from scanning starting position to sweeping with self-check bed While retouching end position uniform motion, start continuous scanning checked object, shorten sweep time, improves scan efficiency, simultaneously Reduce the dosage of checked object raying.
In turn, the time of scanning device continuous scanning and position become with the movement velocity and checked object volume of examination couch Change most slow predicted time and do any additional operation without checked object to when corresponding to, scanning device can be at tested pair Data for projection as continuous scanning checked object in the volume variation most slow short time, after obtaining continuous scanning.
Furthermore change in the most slow short time in the volume of checked object and scans checked object, when subject moves Data for projection accounting in resulting data for projection is lower, and then based on the data for projection reconstruction image after continuous scanning, movement The probability that artifact generates is lower, can effectively improve the clarity of the image of checked object, increases the image based on checked object The accuracy of diagnostic result obtained.
In addition, changing continuous scanning checked object in the most slow short time in checked object volume, checked object is at it He is not influenced the time by scanning signal, can reduce injury of the scanning signal to checked object.
Moreover, since the time of continuous scanning is shorter, being not necessarily to when checked object is related to cardia or the lung position of human body User, which holds one's breath, can be obtained continuous data for projection, and changes in heart rate caused by holding one's breath can be effectively reduced, changes in heart rate is avoided to make At image quality issues.
In certain examples, if within a period of motion of checked object, it can complete the whole to checked object Scanning, can make the further highest of scan efficiency, checked object is influenced to further decrease by scanning signal, scanning device Service life extends, and specific implementation may refer to Fig. 4, and Fig. 4 is another scan control method for implementing to exemplify of the application, the scanning control Method processed may comprise steps of S401-S405:
Step S401, gate curve width, the screw pitch and the product of this three of collimator width are obtained, with institute State the ratio of gantry rotation rate;It is described gate curve width be the end of scan time and it is described scanning the time started when Between it is poor.
If step S402, acquired ratio is greater than the width of the checked object, obtains the scanning time started and sweep Retouch the end time;Wherein, the scanning time started and the end of scan time are and checked object is with predetermined motion feature The predicted time of movement is corresponding.
Step S403, scanning starting position and scan end position are obtained.
Step S404, control examination couch moves to the scanning with target speed and opens in the scanning time started Beginning position, and continue with the target velocity to the scan end position uniform motion.
