Based on this, two-dimensional film X-ray imaging techniques, computer X-ray photography (english Computed Radiography, abbreviated CR) and digital X-ray imaging techniques (english Digital Radiography, abbreviated DR), and three-dimensional computer tomography techniques (english Computed Tomography, abbreviated CT) have been developed. With the development of technology and the increase of application demands, detection technologies based on X-rays, such as CR, DR, CT, etc., are also applied to the fields of nondestructive inspection, industrial inspection, security inspection, etc.

When the method is used for abnormality judgment, the reliability is low. Although CT can form a three-dimensional structural image of the interior of an object to be imaged, it requires multiple exposures around the circumference of the object to be imaged, and there are problems of large radiation amount, slow imaging speed, heavy equipment, high cost, and the like, which also limits the popularization of CT.

The exemplary embodiments of the present invention and the descriptions thereof are used herein to explain the present invention, but are not intended to limit the invention.
It should be noted here that, in order to avoid obscuring the present application due to unnecessary details, only structures and/or processing steps closely related to the solution according to the present application are shown in the drawings, while other details not greatly related to the present application are omitted.

When the track is arranged on the C-shaped arm, as shown in a schematic diagram figure 1, the track is fixed on the upper arm of the C-shaped arm 111 through a connecting piece and the like, the detector is fixed on the lower arm of the C-shaped arm 111, and the arc of the track faces downwards and the circle center of the arc is on the surface of the detector. The system is further described below taking as an example the application of the system to a C-arm.
Example 1
Referring to fig. 1, a schematic structural diagram of an X-ray-based three-dimensional imaging data acquisition system according to the present invention is shown.
The three-dimensional imaging data acquisition system provided by the embodiment comprises an exposure imaging mechanism, a limiting mechanism and a position parameter extraction mechanism;
the limiting mechanism is used for controlling the relative position between the exposure imaging mechanism and the object to be detected, so that the exposure imaging mechanism reaches different relative positions between the exposure imaging mechanism and the object to be detected successively;
the exposure imaging mechanism is used for respectively acquiring projection data of X rays on the object to be detected at a plurality of relative positions;
the position parameter extraction mechanism is used for extracting relative position between the object to be detected and the exposure imaging mechanism and/or relative position data between the X-ray source 101 and the detector 102 in the exposure imaging mechanism, which correspond to each projection data.
The invention uses the limiting mechanism to limit the relative position between the exposure imaging mechanism and the object to be detected, limits the movement path of the exposure imaging mechanism, enables the exposure imaging mechanism to gradually move to each preset relative position along the preset track, then exposes at each relative position to acquire projection data, and uses the position parameter extraction mechanism to combine the information of each preset relative position and the acquired information to jointly acquire the relative position data corresponding to each projection data, so as to reconstruct according to the projection data and the relative position data to obtain a three-dimensional image. The system can be used for detecting the tissue structure of the human body and detecting objects, and a person skilled in the art can determine exposure parameters, the number and the angle of two-dimensional images required by reconstructing three-dimensional images and the like according to the type, the size and the like of the actually acquired objects. Before the system is used for acquiring the two-dimensional data and determining the relative positions, the required two-dimensional image quantity and the corresponding relative positions can be optimized according to the imaging quantity and the angle position data required by reconstructing the three-dimensional image, and then the relative positions required by the exposure imaging mechanism are determined according to the optimized two-dimensional image and the relative positions. And reconstructing three-dimensional imaging data by combining the two-dimensional image data acquired by the limited exposure and the corresponding relative position data.
Referring to fig. 1 to 5, the limiting mechanism in this embodiment includes a rail 21, a moving block moving along the rail, and a movement control module controlling the moving block to move along the rail; the exposure imaging mechanism is correspondingly connected with the motion block.
In order to make the exposure imaging mechanism move at each relative position, the distance between the exposure imaging mechanism and the object to be detected is unchanged. In this embodiment, the track is arc-shaped, and the center of the circle where the arc is located on the detector; the X-ray source of the exposure imaging mechanism is correspondingly connected with the motion block.
The arc-shaped track in this embodiment is also helpful to limit the imaging area of the exposure imaging mechanism, the center point of the X-ray source irradiated on the detector, and the like, so as to prevent the X-rays emitted by the X-ray source due to movement from being inaccurately projected onto the detector, or from being able to effectively pass through the object to be detected, or only a part of the imaging area being on the detector to affect three-dimensional reconstruction.
Referring to fig. 3 to 7, in this embodiment, two rails 21 are arranged side by side at intervals, and racks 2101 are laid in the rails 21 along the length direction thereof; the motion block comprises a first mounting frame 2201, a connecting shaft 2202 penetrating through the first mounting frame 2201, and a plurality of motion gears 2203 arranged on the connecting shaft 2202, wherein each motion gear 2203 is respectively meshed with a rack 2101 on the corresponding track; the exposure imaging mechanism is correspondingly connected with the first mounting frame. In this embodiment, the X-ray source is welded to the first mounting frame, the front wall and the rear wall of the first mounting frame are correspondingly connected to the edges of the bottom of the X-ray source, and the X-ray beam emission opening is opposite to the gap between the front arm and the rear arm of the first mounting frame, so as to prevent the limiting mechanism from blocking the projection angle of the X-ray beam.
In this embodiment, the rack is meshed with the motion gear to limit the movement of the motion block in the track, which not only limits the motion direction of the motion block, but also is beneficial to limiting the position of the exposure imaging mechanism in the track, so that the X-ray source or the flat panel detector in the exposure imaging mechanism can accurately reach each relative position, and is firmly positioned in the relative position during exposure imaging, thereby preventing the exposure imaging mechanism from generating relative shaking in the exposure imaging process to generate motion artifacts.
In order to ensure the stability of the motion gear and the stability of the exposure imaging mechanism on the first mounting frame, in the three-dimensional imaging data acquisition system provided in this embodiment as shown in fig. 3 to 6, two connecting shafts 2202 are arranged on the first mounting frame 2201 in a penetrating and spacing manner, and a plurality of motion gears 2203 are arranged on each connecting shaft 2202; each motion gear 2203 on the connecting shaft is respectively meshed with a rack 2101 on the corresponding track; the motion control module is connected with at least one connecting shaft.
In order to control the number of parts of the three-dimensional imaging data acquisition system and increase assembly convenience, in the embodiment, two ends of each connecting shaft are respectively penetrated by one moving gear, and the moving gears at the two ends of each connecting shaft are respectively correspondingly meshed with racks in the two tracks. The number of the motion gears penetrating through the connecting shaft can be increased as required by a person skilled in the art, so that one rack is meshed with a plurality of motion gears at the same time, the number of the motion gears is increased at the moment, the width of the motion gears meshed with the racks is widened, the stability of the motion gears moving on the racks is maintained, and the difficulty of assembly is increased due to the increase of the number of the motion gears. In this embodiment, two rails are provided, and each rail is provided with a rack. The two designs are used for ensuring the stability of the movement of the first mounting frame. Of course, in order to further improve the stability of movement, the number of the rails and the racks can also be increased, the larger the number of the rails and the racks is, the more favorable for keeping the stability of movement of the first mounting frame and the movement gear, but the larger the number is, the more difficult the assembly is and the higher the cost is. The number of the motion gears arranged on the connecting shaft can be selected according to actual needs by a person skilled in the art, and the number of the tracks can be selected according to actual needs, so that redundant description is omitted.
In the application, the motion control module can be a mechanism for connecting a rotating handle on one connecting shaft or transmitting other manual rotation, and the connecting shaft is operated by manpower to rotate positively and reversely so as to drive the first mounting frame to move between two ends of the track.

In this embodiment, the X-ray source is fixed on the first mounting frame of the limiting mechanism. The X-ray source is arranged on the motion block.

The three-dimensional imaging method based on X-rays provided by the embodiment comprises the step of acquiring three-dimensional imaging data by using the three-dimensional imaging data acquisition system according to any embodiment.
Referring to fig. 17, the three-dimensional imaging method based on X-ray provided in this embodiment includes the steps of acquiring three-dimensional imaging data by using the three-dimensional imaging data acquisition system according to any one of the embodiments, and performing three-dimensional reconstruction, and specifically includes the following steps:

Under the condition that the relative positions are accurately reached, only projection data are adopted to perform three-dimensional reconstruction, so that on one hand, the time and steps for acquiring the relative position data are reduced, the speed of three-dimensional reconstruction is improved to a certain extent, the cost is reduced, and on the other hand, the problem that the reconstructed image is inaccurate due to inaccurate acquired relative position data is avoided.
In this embodiment, in one three-dimensional imaging data acquisition, the set of projection data at each relative position is a two-dimensional image data set; the method further comprises the steps of:

and establishing a three-dimensional reconstruction image based on the mapping relation group and the input two-dimensional image data group.
According to the volume, complexity, imaging fineness and the like of a substance to be detected, 10-50 pieces of two-dimensional image data are needed for establishing a three-dimensional image, and 10-50 preset relative positions are needed correspondingly. That is, 10 to 50 projection data are required for one three-dimensional imaging data acquisition. The data of each two-dimensional image required for creating a three-dimensional image is recorded as a two-dimensional image data set, and each projection data in the two-dimensional image data set is formed by exposure of an X-ray source at a corresponding relative position.
In order to further increase the imaging speed and reduce the calculation amount during imaging when reconstructing the three-dimensional image, the design is adopted to pre-establish the corresponding relation between the voxel value of each voxel of the three-dimensional image and the pixel value of the pixel point of each image in the acquired two-dimensional data set. When imaging is carried out, the input two-dimensional data set, namely, the input projection data are directly substituted into the corresponding mapping relation, so that the voxel value of each voxel of the three-dimensional image can be obtained, and the three-dimensional image reconstruction is rapidly completed.

In order to improve the capability of reconstructing three-dimensional images of two-dimensional image data sets matched with various relative position parameters or different numbers, reduce the number of required memories, etc., a mapping relation set matched with various two-dimensional image data sets can be prestored in one memory. Specifically, a plurality of corresponding relative positions obtained by primary three-dimensional imaging data are used as a relative position group; the method further comprises the steps of:

selecting a preset mapping relation group matched with projection data according to the projection data input into the three-dimensional reconstruction system;
and establishing a three-dimensional image based on the matched preset mapping relation group and the input projection data.

The list here is merely illustrative of how to select a matched preset mapping relation set for different projection data when a plurality of preset mapping relation sets are set, and those skilled in the art can design other matching modes according to needs, which will not be repeated here.
