Description

X-ray anti-scattering grid based on orthogonal structure
Technical Field
The present invention relates to an optical imaging apparatus. More specifically, the invention relates to an X-ray anti-scattering grid based on an orthogonal structure for improving the quality of an X-ray image, which is mainly applied to an X-ray machine and CT detection equipment for X-ray detection in the fields of medical image diagnosis and treatment, industrial nondestructive detection, security detection and the like.
It is an object of the present invention to devise an anti-scatter grid for improving radiographic images by filtering photons scattered by the examined body, organs and objects and retaining only photons emitted by the source.
Background
The nondestructive imaging detection technology has wide application in the fields of medical image diagnosis and treatment, life science, material science, industrial application, security inspection and the like, and X-ray imaging is one of the most important methods.
The use of digital radiological imaging is very important with respect to a variety of technical applications. Digital radiographic images are one of the main technical tools for clinicians to quickly identify and diagnose abnormalities and patients in patients. And is also an important technical means in the industrial and security fields for detecting the appearance of the contents of parts, luggage, packages and other articles, and for detecting the appearance of the structural integrity of objects, among other uses.
Radiographic imaging designs direct the generation of X-rays toward the body or object being measured, which pass through and around the body or object being measured and then strike an X-ray film or X-ray cassette or digital X-ray detector. In the context of digital X-ray detectors, these X-ray photons traverse a scintillator, which converts X-ray radiation into visible light or light photons, which are then converted into electrical signals that are processed into digital images for easier viewing, storage and transmission.
In order to reduce the arrival of scattered radiation at the detection medium, an X-ray anti-scatter-grid is proposed and used. An anti-scatter-grid typically comprises a plurality of septa made of a highly X-ray absorbing material, which are separated by a less X-ray absorbing material. The disadvantages of this approach to reducing scattered radiation are: not only the scattered radiation is absorbed into the anti-scatter-grid, but also a part of the direct radiation will be absorbed, which will degrade the X-ray detection image quality or result in that the patient or object under examination has to be exposed to a higher dose to get the same image quality.
Disclosure of Invention
The invention aims to solve the problems in the prior art, and provides an X-ray anti-scattering grid based on an orthogonal structure, which not only can reduce the influence of X-ray scattering radiation on the interference of the quality resolution of a detected image, but also can reduce the influence of the direct radiation reduction of X-rays on the quality degradation of the detected image, effectively improve the technical problems in the prior art that the X-ray detection image has lower resolution, larger error and the like, and further obviously improve the image quality of X-ray image detection, or can reduce the radiation damage of exposing a detected patient or object to higher dose under the condition of obtaining the same detection image quality.
In order to achieve the above object, the idea of the present invention is: an X-ray anti-scatter grid based on an orthogonal structure is provided, comprising two sets of arrays of a plurality of septa of a highly X-ray absorbing material, which are arranged in an orthogonal arrangement with respect to each other by grids respectively separated by a less X-ray absorbing material. Wherein, the spacers made of high X-ray absorbing material are respectively arranged at intervals and tightly attached by the thin sheets made of low X-ray absorbing material to form an orthogonal grating array structure.
Furthermore, the shape of the X-ray anti-scattering grid is a plane shape, the distance from the ray radiation source S to the grid flat plate P is the focal length F, the septa made of high X-ray absorption materials are grids respectively separated by a thin film made of low X-ray absorption materials, and two groups of the septa made of high X-ray absorption materials are formed into an array by mutually arranging the grids respectively separated by the low X-ray absorption materials in an orthogonal mode.
Furthermore, the shape of the X-ray anti-scattering grid can also be a spherical shape, the spherical radius is the distance focal distance F from the radiation source S to the spherical surface G, the septa made of high X-ray absorption materials are grids respectively separated by films made of low X-ray absorption materials, and two groups of the septa made of high X-ray absorption materials are formed into an array by mutually arranging the grids respectively separated by the low X-ray absorption materials in an orthogonal mode.
Further, the spacers of high X-ray absorbing material are typically: lead (Lead), Lead bismuth alloys, etc., and the thin films of lower X-ray absorbing materials are typically: aluminum (Al), carbon fiber (C) and Silica (SiO)2) And the like. The upper part and the lower part are covered and packaged by adopting aluminum plates or carbon fiber plates.
Further, the thickness of the spacing layers and films of the X-ray anti-scatter grid can be generally expressed by how many pairs of grid compositions are per centimeter. Such as: density 44Line, i.e. the grid density is 44 pairs of grid layers per cm, wherein the lead layer thickness is about 0.047 mm; the density 70Line, i.e., grid density of 70 pairs of grid layers per cm, with lead layer thickness of about 0.030mm or higher, with lead layer thickness being less.
Theoretically, the more the number of pairs of grating layers per cm, the better the image quality of the grating forming the grating, but the more complex the processing process of the grating, the higher the production cost is, obviously.
According to the inventive concept, the invention adopts the following technical scheme:
an orthogonal structure-based X-ray anti-scatter grid is characterized in that the orthogonal structure-based X-ray anti-scatter grid structure is as follows: consists of two sets of mutually orthogonally arranged X-ray anti-scatter grids, each set of grids comprising a plurality of septa of a high X-ray absorbing material, which are separated by grids of a lower X-ray absorbing material. Wherein, the spacers made of high X-ray absorbing material are arranged by the thin sheets made of low X-ray absorbing material at intervals and are tightly attached to form an orthogonal grating array structure.
The X-ray anti-scattering grid is in a flat plate shape, the distance from the ray radiation source S to the grid flat plate P is the focal distance, the septa made of high X-ray absorption materials are grids separated by films made of low X-ray absorption materials, and the arrangement of the septa and the planes of the films is consistent with the arrangement of the direction of rays emitted by the X-ray radiation point source at the focal position. Likewise, the spacers and membranes of another set of orthogonally arranged grids are arranged according to the same principle requirements.
The X-ray anti-scattering grid can also be in a spherical shape, the spherical radius is the distance from the ray radiation source S to the spherical surface G, the septa made of high X-ray absorption materials are grids separated by the thin film made of low X-ray absorption materials, and the arrangement of the septa and the plane of each layer of the thin film is consistent with the arrangement of the direction of the rays emitted by the X-ray radiation point source at the focal position. Likewise, the spacers and membranes of another set of orthogonally arranged grids are arranged according to the same principle requirements.
The spacers of high X-ray absorbing material described above are typically: lead (Lead), Lead bismuth alloys, etc., and the thin films of lower X-ray absorbing materials are typically: aluminum (Al), carbon fiber (C) and Silica (SiO)2) And the upper part and the lower part are covered and packaged by adopting aluminum plates or carbon fiber plates.
The thickness of the thin film and the spacing layers of the grid of the X-ray anti-scattering grid can be generally expressed by the number of pairs of grid compositions per centimeter. Such as: density 44Line, i.e. the grid density is 44 pairs of grid layers per cm; density 70Line, i.e. a grid density of 70 pairs of grid layers per cm, or higher.
The X-ray anti-scattering grid based on the orthogonal structure has the advantages that the X-ray anti-scattering grid based on the orthogonal structure is adopted to replace the existing single-group X-ray anti-scattering grid, and the scattered radiation of the X-rays is ensured to be absorbed into the anti-scattering grid so as to increase the penetration of the directly radiated part of the X-rays. Theoretically, the amount of direct X-ray radiation can be increased by about 1 time, and the degradation of image quality can be reduced, or the damage of exposing the detected patient or object to higher radiation dose can be reduced to obtain the same image quality, so that the detection quality of medical images can be obviously improved or the radiation damage of the detected patient can be greatly reduced.
