Fig. 4 is a flowchart illustrating an image registration method of a multi-modality imaging system according to an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, for use in the multi-modality imaging system mentioned above. Referring to fig. 4, the method includes:
step 101, acquiring first spatial coordinates of the phantom 42 in the coordinate registration phantom 4 in a first scan field of view of the first detector 2.
The scanning bed 1 is controlled to move into a first scanning view of the first detector 2, so that the first detector 2 scans the coordinate registration die body 4 to obtain a first reconstructed image of the coordinate registration die body 4, and the first reconstructed image is processed by the processor to obtain first space coordinates of each die body 42 in the coordinate registration die body 4. For example, a first spatial coordinate of the center of gravity of each phantom 42 is obtained. Wherein the first spatial coordinates may be expressed as (x 1, y1, z 1), x1 representing coordinates of the phantom 42 in a transverse x-axis of the first scan field of view, y1 representing coordinates of the phantom 42 in a fore-aft y-axis of the first scan field of view, and z1 representing coordinates in a longitudinal z-axis of the first scan field of view. The origin of coordinates is the center point of the first scan field of view.
Step 102, obtaining second spatial coordinates of the phantom 42 in the coordinate registration phantom 4 in the second scan field of view of the second detector 3.
The scanning bed 1 is controlled to move into a second scanning visual field of the second detector 3, so that the second detector 3 scans the coordinate registration die body 4 to obtain a second reconstructed image of the coordinate registration die body 4, and the second reconstructed image is processed by the processor to obtain second space coordinates of each die body 42 in the coordinate registration die body 4. For example, a second spatial coordinate of the center of gravity of each phantom 42 is obtained. Wherein the second spatial coordinates may be expressed as (x 2, y2, z 2), x2 representing coordinates of the phantom 42 in a transverse x-axis of the second scan field of view, y2 representing coordinates of the phantom 42 in a fore-aft y-axis of the second scan field of view, and z2 representing coordinates of the phantom 42 in a longitudinal z-axis of the second scan field of view. The origin of coordinates is the center point of the second scan field of view.
Step 103, determining a first parameter deviation value between the first scanning visual field and the second scanning visual field according to the first space coordinate and the second space coordinate. The first parameter bias value includes: the spatial coordinate system of the first scan field of view corresponds to the translational and angular offset values of coordinates x, y, z of the spatial coordinate system of the second scan field of view.
Taking the first detector as a CT detector and the second detector as a PET detector as an example, determining a first parameter deviation value of the first scanning visual field and the second scanning visual field comprises the following steps:
step a, according to equation I and the transformation matrix M, the second spatial coordinates (x PET ，y PET ，z PET ) Converts into a third spatial coordinate (x 'in the first scan field of view' CT ，y′ CT ，z′ CT )。
(x′ CT ，y′ CT ，z′ CT )＝M×(x PET ，y PET ，z PET ) (formula I)
Step b, calculating the first spatial coordinates (x CT ，y CT ，z CT ) With a third spatial coordinate (x' CT ，y′ CT ，z′ CT ) Is a coordinate deviation expression of (2).
F＝(x CT ，y CT ，z CT )-(x′ CT ，y′ CT ，z′ CT ) (formula II)
And c, converting the formula II into an optimal solution for solving the following formula III according to a least square method.
Wherein, (x) CT ，y CT ，z CT ) The center of gravity coordinates of the phantom 42 in the first scan field of view,(x PET ，y PET ，z PET ) For the barycentric coordinates of the phantom 42 in the second scan field of view, i=1, … …, N, indicates the number of phantom 42 in the coordinate registration phantom 4, F T Is the transposed matrix of F.
And d, obtaining a conversion matrix M according to the optimal solution of E, and further determining translational deviation and angular deviation of x, y and z in the coordinate system of the PET scanning visual field to the coordinate system of the CT scanning visual field.
Step 104, adjusting the position of the second detector 3 according to the first parameter deviation value, so as to register the second scan field with the first scan field.
In one embodiment, the image registration method of the multi-modality imaging system provided in the embodiment of the present disclosure further includes:
step 105, determining a second parameter deviation value between the scanning bed 1 and the first scanning field according to the first space coordinate and the second space coordinate. The second parameter bias value includes: translational misalignment between the scan table 1 and the first scan field of view coordinate system, and angular misalignment between the scan table 1 and the x-axis and the y-axis in the first scan field of view coordinate system.
By locating the coordinate registration phantom 4 on the central axis of the couch 1 and locating at least one phantom 42 on the central axis of the couch 1, a translational offset value between the couch 1 and the first scan field of view coordinate system is determined based on the first spatial coordinates of the phantom 42. An offset angle between the scan bed 1 and the first scan field of view is determined based on the first and second spatial coordinates of the phantom 42.
And 106, adjusting the position of the scanning bed 1 according to the second parameter deviation value to enable the scanning bed 1 to be in registration with the first scanning visual field. By registering the scanning bed 1 with the first scanning field of view, accurate determination of lesions is facilitated.
