Description

0-point automatic exposure control method and system for medical X-ray equipment
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of medical instruments, and particularly relates to a 0-point automatic exposure control method and system for medical X-ray equipment.
Background
In the medical field, X-rays are widely used for medical diagnosis, especially for non-invasive diagnosis of conditions in a patient.
The X-ray can penetrate through a human body to the imaging device to finally generate a diagnostic image, and different tissues in the human body have different absorption intensities of the X-ray, so that the X-ray penetrating through the human body to the imaging device has difference in quantity, and the difference can cause gray level difference in the diagnostic image, thereby helping doctors to diagnose. Since excessive X-rays for a long time may cause damage to the human body, the exposure dose of X-rays received by the human body during medical diagnosis is strictly controlled. The parameters of X-rays for medical diagnosis are mainly: the three parameters of voltage kV, current mA and exposure time s determine the exposure of X-rays, the quality of a final diagnostic image and the influence of the X-rays on a detected person.
The key difficulties of exposure control are two:
1. the diagnostic images are consistent, that is, the generated diagnostic images should be consistent as much as possible for different parts of patients with different body types.
2. The X-ray radiation dose is reduced as much as possible under the premise of ensuring that the generated image meets the requirements of clinical diagnosis, and the influence of the X-ray radiation on the detected person is controlled to be the lowest as much as possible.
Some existing devices do not have a complete automatic exposure control technology, and doctors or technicians are required to manually adjust parameters such as voltage kV, current mA, exposure time s and the like according to experience aiming at specific conditions such as the body type of a patient, the thickness of an examined part and the like to generate a diagnostic image. The image can not meet the requirement of clinical diagnosis due to the inadequately set parameters caused by improper operation or insufficient technical experience of a doctor, and the resetting of the parameters and the re-exposure examination not only increase the inspection time and aggravate the risk of the patient, but also additionally increase the X-ray dose of doctors and patients.
