Description

Cone beam CT hardening artifact correction method combining projection consistency
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of flat panel detector beam hardening correction, in particular to a cone beam CT hardening artifact correction method combining projection consistency.
Background
In computed tomography (Computed Tomography, CT) technology, the energy is E 0 Intensity is I 0 According to beer's law, it is known that the intensity I after passing through an object of length l is: i=i 0 exp (- ≡u (x, y, z) dl); wherein u (x, y, z) is the position of a certain section of the measured object at E 0 In the case of a linear decay coefficient. Monoenergetic projection logarithmized data p m The method comprises the following steps:
Figure BDA0002507264180000011
the amount is distributed in (E max ,E min ) Within the range, let its energy spectrum distribution be S (E), and lineThe sexual attenuation coefficient is a function of energy and is then derived from beer's law
Figure BDA0002507264180000012
Multi-energy projection logarithmized data p p The method comprises the following steps:
Figure BDA0002507264180000013
from p p The expression of (2) shows that the larger l is, the p is p The larger but not the linear relationship between the two. Let p be p For the purpose of discussion of the increase and decrease of this function, it is known that g' (l) is a monotonically decreasing function with respect to l, i.e., p increases with l p The magnitude of the increase becomes smaller. Because the lower-energy photons in the ray beam attenuate faster than the higher-energy photons, the energy distribution of the ray beam is different when the ray beam passes through objects with different thicknesses, and the attenuation coefficient u corresponding to the average energy of the ray beam is not constant any more but decreases with the increase of the thickness of the passing object. True logarithmic projection data p due to radiation hardening effects p With the logarithmic projection data p assumed in reconstruction m With respect to the linear attenuation coefficient u (x, y, z, E) having a different expression, the data is not linear with the traversing length, p is used in the reconstruction process p Instead of p m Thereby causing artifacts in the reconstructed image, which are hardening artifacts due to the multi-energy X-rays, which are represented by the fact that the gray value of the center of the reconstructed image of the single-material object is smaller than the edge and takes on a cup shape. Hardening artifacts severely degrade the CT image quality and therefore require correction.
For correction of hardening artifacts, there are many correction methods, mainly polynomial fitting (Huang Kuidong, etc., cone beam CT beam hardening correction method based on slice contour re-projection [ J ]. Instrument and meter journal [ 2008.029 (009): 1873-1877), monte Carlo correction method, iterative correction method, etc. The polynomial fitting method has the advantages that polynomial coefficients are easy to calculate, thinking is simple and easy to accept, and correction effect is good under certain conditions. In view of the effectiveness and simplicity of this method, it is currently the most commonly used calibration method. However, the polynomial fitting method has the effect of amplifying noise, amplifies noise in an image while correcting beam hardening, and has a good effect on a detected object of a single material, but needs a phantom of the same material as the detected object, and lacks flexibility in practical application. The Monte Carlo method is also called a statistical simulation method, is a very important numerical calculation method guided by a probability statistical theory, and is characterized by being a random sampling method. The premise of this method application is that the material of the object to be inspected must be known. The iterative method is a process of continuously recursively using the old value of the variable. An advantage of the iterative method is that some physical effects, such as beam hardening, can be fused into the forward projection process, so that the beam hardening can be considered during reconstruction to achieve artifact removal. However, the iterative reconstruction algorithm is still in a research stage at present due to the reasons of large calculated amount, low reconstruction speed, low parallelism and the like, and is not widely applied in practice.
