Specific embodiment
To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the present invention clearer, right in the following with reference to the drawings and specific embodiments The present invention is described in detail.
As shown in Figure 1, the present invention provides a kind of CT imaging method, comprising:
Step 11 (S11): the imaging voltage range [V1, V2] of measured object is set, as V ∈ [V1, V2], measured object is worn The relative deviation that saturating rate meets linear attenuation coefficient of any two kinds of materials of the first preset condition and measured object in V meets The corresponding energy range of preset requirement meets the second preset condition;
For example, the first preset condition: according to material, size, the detector image-forming dynamic range of measured object, and avoiding owing exposure Light and overexposure phenomenon cause the missing of information, choose suitable voltage range [V1,V2] make the penetrance of object reach 30%~ 70% or other ranges.
Second preset condition are as follows: from the angle of measured object component analysis, according to the linear attenuation coefficient curve of material, Meet free voltage V ∈ [V1,V2] Shi Renyi kth1、k2Kind material meets energy caused by the energy range Ω and V of formula (1) Range Ω1Intersection account for Ω160% or more, with guarantee each component choose energy range on have ga s safety degree.
μ in formulak1(E) and μk2(E) kth is respectively indicated1、k2Linear attenuation coefficient of the kind material in ENERGY E.According to default It is required that it is stringent whether, 0.05 in formula (1) can also change other values into.
Step 12 (S12): taking N number of different scanning voltage in the range of [V1, V2], and N is greater than measured object and is included Material sum K, and the difference between any two scanning voltage is greater than the first preset value, to measured object under each scanning voltage Full angle scanning imagery is carried out, acquisition meets N number of projection image sequence that imaging gray scale requires, and full angle scanning includes T a not Same imaging angle;
N number of different scanning voltage can be contact potential series at equal intervals, or unequal interval contact potential series, either No all to need to meet at equal intervals, N is greater than the material sum K that measured object is included, and the difference between any two scanning voltage is big In the first preset value, the first preset value is according to transmitted intensity in the same ray path for passing through measured object and incident intensity ratio Minimum distinguishes requirement setting, such as minimum distinguish requires to be greater than 2% for the relative deviation of ratio.
Similarly, T imaging angle may be that at equal intervals or unequal interval, such as T different imaging angles include: Initial imaging angle is θ0, the T imaging angle of △ θ is divided between angle.The value of T is determined that usual T >=180 are equal by step 13 The requirement that step 13 solves D can be met.
When each angle imaging of each scanning voltage, by adjusting the electric current of X-ray tube and the time of integration of detector Make collected radioscopic image gray value in effective areas imaging of detector, i.e. imaging gray scale meets the requirements.
Step 13 (S13): being based on N number of projection image sequence, and the change energy that solution meets Poisson maximum likelihood principle is multispectral The corresponding projection thickness matrix D of all materials of measured object in the expression formula that decays;
Step 14 (S14): being based on D, and the separation for calculating each narrow energy spectral coverage in X-ray projects pr, r=1,2 ... R, R X The narrow energy spectral coverage sum of ray;
The matrix D that step 13 obtains=(dk,m)K×M, wherein M is the subelement of the projection image sequence of each scanning voltage Sum can must separate projection p by formula (2)r:
Step 15 (S15): p is rebuildrObtain the reconstruction image a of each narrow energy spectral coverager
Such as by prProgress general linear reconstruction (Yan Bin, Li Lei .CT image reconstruction algorithm [M] Science Press, 2014) the reconstruction image a of each narrow energy spectral coverage is obtainedr
The principle explanation of step 13 is given below.
The N number of projection image sequence for obtaining step 12 is needed to be converted into F=(f firstn,m)N×M;M is each scanning voltage The subelement sum of projection image sequence, due to the corresponding ray path of each subelement, M is it also will be understood that each scanning is electric Depress the ray path sum of X-ray.
Fig. 2 is the projection image sequence that obtains under some scanning voltage, will wherein each image all as shown in Figure 3 with image Pixel establishes index as subelement, and for each subelement, then M=T × n1 × m1.
It by the projection image sequence obtained under each scanning voltage using image pixel as subelement, and is every height list Member establishes index, so that it may it is as follows to obtain F matrix.
F is the matrix of a N × M.Wherein fn,mFor penetrating on m paths in n-th of scanning voltage projection image sequence Line intensity (gray value of the unit in correspondence image) and incident intensity ratio.Incident intensity refers generally to not pass through object area Ray path on gray value.
During x-ray imaging, the multispectral characteristic of X-ray make include in detector projecting image data obtained Multispectral section of decaying, this for using multispectral projected image carry out Projective decomposition provide foundation.
If the intensity on x-ray path L is I, initial strength I0, normalization spectrum is S (E), ceiling capacity Emax, Object attenuation coefficient at the x of spatial position is μ (x, E), is had according to multispectral decaying expression formula
Enable Emax=max { E1,max,…,En,max,…,EN,max, En,maxIndicate the maximum photon energy of n-th of scanning voltage Amount.According to actual conditions by energy section [0, Emax] it is divided into R narrow energy spectral coverage subinterval [E'r-1,E'r], r=1,2 ... R, Wherein 0=E'0<E'1<…<E'R=Emax, usually take at equal intervalsSection self-energy Er=t E'r+(1-t)·E'r-1, generally take t=0.5.
If imaging substance is made of K kind material, it is assumed that energy section [E'r-1,E'r] sufficiently narrow so that kth kind material is at this Attenuation coefficient on section is constant for μk(Er), ErIt takes after determining, the linear attenuation coefficient μ of each materialk(Er) referring to U.S. NIST net Standing can obtain.
Enable on the L of path the kth kind material of measured object with a thickness of dk, then formula (3) can be converted into
WhereinReferred to as spectral resolution coefficient meetsIt is usually unknown, andDecomposition projection as to be asked.
And dkRelated with ray path, i.e., the thickness of every kind of material is different in different ray paths, it is desirable that obtains single-pathway The multispectral projection that the thickness of upper various material only leans under single sweep voltage is serious underdetermined problem, so needing to acquire multiple scannings The projected image of different-energy under voltage.Simultaneously because spectral resolution coefficient is unknown, therefore generally require acquisition scans voltage amounts N The number K of material included greater than substance.
It altogether include M ray path, f in the projection image sequence of each scanning voltagen,mFor the throwing of n-th of scanning voltage Transmitted intensity and incident intensity ratio in shadow image sequence on m paths, sn,rIt is generated the on X-ray spectrum for n-th of scanning R spectral resolution coefficient, dk,mFor the thickness of kth kind material on m paths.Assuming that transmitted intensity in each path with enter Penetrating intensity rate is the Poisson stochastic variable being independently distributed, i.e.,
Enable S=(sn,r)N×RFor spectral resolution coefficient matrix, R is the narrow energy spectral coverage sum of X-ray;D=(dk,m)K×MTo throw Shadow thickness matrix.
NoteFor ideal transmitted intensity and incident intensity Ratio.
Then step 13 is according to known F=(fn,m)N×M, solve and meet the change energy of Poisson maximum likelihood principle and multispectral decline Subtract expression formulaIn measured object the corresponding projection thickness matrix D of all materials.
The first embodiment of step 13 is given below.
Cephalometry f multispectral for N × M Poissonn,m, weighed with the negative log-likelihood function of broad sense KL Divergence Form Measure real data fn,mWith ideal valueBetween difference, likelihood function form is as follows:
