Description

Cerenkov light dose monitoring method and device based on multichannel imaging
Technical Field
The invention relates to the field of radiotherapy and radiation imaging, in particular to a cerenkov light dose monitoring method and device based on multichannel imaging.
Background
Cancer has become the first killer threatening human life and health, and radiation therapy is one of the main means for treating malignant tumors, and has increasingly prominent roles and roles in tumor therapy. Photon therapy is the most mature radiation therapy technology at present, but is limited by the mechanical characteristics of radiotherapy equipment, the execution process of a treatment plan and the change of beam parameters, and the treatment beam can inevitably produce dose deposition on organs at the periphery of a target area, so that the radiotherapy effect is affected. Thus, further development of new real-time dose detection systems is needed.
Cerenkov radiation is a phenomenon of super-optical velocity movement of charged particles in a medium, where when the velocity of high velocity charged particles in the medium is greater than the traveling velocity of light in the medium, localized polarization is created in the direction of the path of movement and visible and near-infrared photons are released during return to equilibrium. Robertson et al for the first time applied Cerenkov radiation in the biomedical imaging field and proposed the concept of Cerenkov photoperiod imaging. The cerenkov light-emitting imaging has the characteristics of noninvasive, repeatable, real-time imaging and the like, and can be particularly used for monitoring the dosage in tissues in the radiotherapy process.
At present, a cerenkov light imaging dosimetry system mainly adopts a monochromatic enhanced camera, and living cerenkov light imaging in other wave bands is hardly paid attention to due to red light and near infrared weighted emission of tissues. However, changes in blood content and oxygenation within tissue have a large impact on the light emission, and the spectral changes associated therewith are believed to be diagnostic. Although cerenkov imaging systems have existed for many years, the advantages of multi-wavelength imaging in the context of radiation therapy have not been explored in depth. Therefore, developing a cerenkov light dose detection method and device based on multichannel imaging is a key technical problem to be solved.
Disclosure of Invention
In order to solve the technical problems, the invention aims to provide a cerenkov light dose monitoring method and device based on multichannel imaging, which have the characteristics of visual imaging and high positioning accuracy.
In order to achieve the above purpose, the technical scheme adopted by the invention is as follows:
a cerenkov light dose monitoring device based on multichannel imaging, comprising: a multi-channel camera beam splitter assembly for splitting cerenkov light, the beam splitter assembly comprising an RGB dichroic beam splitter (2) and a bandpass filter, allows cerenkov light signals incident from a zoom lens (1) to be redirected to appropriate camera channels according to wavelength, and three independent iCCD modules packaged in a three-tube color camera assembly, the red, green and blue channels being provided with red, green and blue sensitive iCCD modules, respectively, to spatially register three channel images and fuse the three channel images to obtain a color cerenkov light image.
The lens is a 10-100 mm f/1.6 zoom lens (1).
The beam splitter device comprises two dichroic beam splitters (2) which respectively separate blue wave bands and red wave bands from the Cerenkov optical signals, and the blue wave bands and the red wave bands and the filtered green wave bands are respectively transmitted to the iCCD module through band-pass filters.
The iCCD module consists of red, green and blue sensitivity enhancers (3, 4, 5) and a CCD module (6).
The image synthesis is to generate an RGB color image by registering and correcting a plurality of gray images obtained by multiple channels.
A cerenkov light dose monitoring method based on multichannel imaging comprises the following steps:
the multichannel camera was mounted on a tripod in a treatment room to acquire images, which were obtained in a 16-bit raw format using C-Dose research software. The FPGA of each camera is respectively subjected to time domain and space domain median filtering by adopting 5 frames and 5 multiplied by 5 pixel motion windows, so that additional denoising or smoothing in post-processing is eliminated;
a 120 frame dark field image stack is acquired and the average dark field frame number is calculated. For a given acquired dataset, each of the three image stacks takes a frame average and subtracts each average dark field frame;
performing two-dimensional polynomial transformation on green, red and blue images by using checkerboard-based geometric correction to spatially align three channels, thereby obtaining a three-channel image;
color cerenkov light images are obtained by combining the RGB three color channels.
The beneficial effects of the invention include:
(1) In the image obtained by imaging through the multichannel camera, various tissue characteristics not only show different intensities, but also have unique spectrum characteristics;
(2) The sensitivity of the images obtained through the imaging of the multichannel camera to the body surface features is beneficial to more accurately tracking the daily body position of a patient, and the acquisition of biological information such as blood volume and oxygenation saturation can help a clinician to grasp the physiological response of the patient to treatment such as the development of erythema;
(3) The technology of the invention presents the natural superposition of the cerenkov light and the background signal through simultaneous collection and accumulation, and more truly visualizes the interaction of radiation and tissues;
(4) The invention enables a useful image to be obtained without background subtraction, since the contrast between the cerenkov signal and the background is achieved by color perception.
