Embodiment
Below, describe preferred implementation of the present utility model with reference to the accompanying drawings in detail.In the accompanying drawings, though be shown in the different accompanying drawings, identical Reference numeral is used to represent identical or similar assembly.
Realize the physical principle of material identification according to the dual intensity method, requiring has obvious energy (power spectrum) difference with the X ray of the interactional two kinds of energy of tested object, be detected after requiring the same voxel of the X ray of two kinds of different-energies and checking matter to interact simultaneously, thereby guarantee accurate identification the material attribute.
According to embodiment of the present utility model, when tested object is carried out radiation imaging inspection, at first need produce the metastable sigmatron of power spectrum by a radiation source, can accurately be surveyed behind this sigmatron and the tested object interaction.Simultaneously, after this sigmatron and scatterer interact, can produce heavy dose of forward scattering power spectrum.Just, the transmitted radiation of the X ray scattering of a fixed angle and the forward scattering behind the object interaction still can be detected device and detect useful signal.
Behind X ray and the object interaction, the forward scattering radiation of generation has very big some to derive from the bremstrahlen of ray and object, so the average energy of scattering power spectrum will be starkly lower than the energy of the X ray of incident scatterer.That is to say between the sigmatron that forward scattering radiation and radiation source produce exists tangible power spectrum difference to realize.But the dosage of the forward scattering radiation that obtains after X ray and scatterer interact can reduce a lot by more original x-ray dose.Therefore, realize identification to tested object materials in order to utilize the forward scattering radiation, need allow the same position of forward scattering radiation and tested object interact after, still can be detected device and survey accurately.
The radiant image that carries out among the utility model embodiment is based on the alignment imaging, promptly tested object of which movement, the pad value after the cross section effect of each detecting x-ray of the linear array of a detector and object.Therefore, the forward scattering radiation that can adopt also just can only be based on certain angular range.The energy of the forward scattering radiation that produces behind sigmatron and the object interaction be less than usually with object interaction before the energy of X ray.Along with the angle of scattered radiation and incident X-rays constantly increases, the average energy of scattered radiation will descend fast.When angle increases to a certain degree, the shared ratio of the high-energy photon in the scattered radiation will no longer include significant change, and this moment, the ratio of lower energy photon reached maximal value.If continue to increase angle, the ratio of lower energy photon is descended.Therefore, consider at the same time under power spectrum difference and the dosage size cases, preferably select to survey the forward scattering radiation in＜15 ° of scopes.
Fig. 1 utilizes the forward scattering radiation of X ray to realize that the dual intensity method checks the synoptic diagram of tested object according to the utility model embodiment.
Among Fig. 1, radiation source 101 for example is X-ray machine, radioactive isotope or particle accelerator, can stablize the X ray with higher-energy (power spectrum), for example the ray of 10MeV.Directly the X ray from radiation source 101 emissions may be the very big pencil-beam of a Space Angle, and only need gather a pencil of planes in the system of the utility model embodiment.Therefore need carry out the shaping collimation to pencil-beam.In order to realize gathering the sigmatron (hereinafter referred to as direct emitted radiation) of radiation source 101 direct emissions and the forward scattering radiation of sigmatron and scatterer 106 interaction back generations simultaneously, it is two bundle fan-shaped x-ray beam 102a and 103a that colimated light system 109 collimates former cone type X-ray bundle.The concrete structure of colimated light system 109 is referring to Fig. 2 A synoptic diagram.Beam 102a and 103a almost have identical power spectrum, because they are two parts of the X-ray beam of radiation source 101 emissions.
Under the not high situation of the sweep velocity that requires checking matter, when alternately gathering direct emitted radiation and forward scattering radiation as adopting, this two beams line can be same beam.Need this moment a control system to make when gathering direct emitted radiation, ray does not interact with scatterer.And when gathering the forward scattering radiation, after ray and the scatterer interaction, interact with checking matter again.
Transmitted radiation 102b is detected and will be sent to the data processing work station by transmission control system after device array 104a detects, and is recorded and preserves.Beam 103a is used for producing the forward scattering radiation that is used for inspected object with scatterer 106 interaction backs.Scattered radiation 103a and directly emitted radiation 102a be not two collimated beams, but the emission that forms an angle, this angle is the angle of the front scattered radiation that decision will gather.The value of this angle should be less than 60 degree, thereby the ray of guarantee gathering is the forward scattering ray of scatterer emission.Beam 103a can collimate through lineal surely system 108 before interacting with scatterer 106.But colimated light system 108 is not necessary, have only when beam 103a be a fladellum and when interacting with spherical scatterer 106, just need by passing through the such colimated light system of image pattern 2B.If the beam 103a that obtains behind collimating apparatus 109 collimations is a pencil beam, then do not needing the such colimated light system of image pattern 2B.
According to embodiment of the present utility model, this scatterer 106 is the spheroid that is made of low Z material, for example C, B or an organic material.
After beam 103a and scatterer 106 interact, the forward scattering that produces all angles, and the radiation that embodiment of the present utility model will utilize mainly just becomes that part of forward scattering radiation of predetermined angle theta with the incident ray.This θ angle is the angle between beam 103a and the beam 102a just also.Therefore after the forward scattering that utilizes the colimated light system 107 made by heavy metal further scatterer to be produced collimates, just obtain being used to penetrate the forward scattering radiation 103b of tested object 105.Forward scattering radiation 103b is the X-ray beam of a covering of the fan, and average energy will be starkly lower than beam 102a, and parallel to each other with beam 102a.The central point of forward scattering is the central point of scatterer.
After forward scattering radiation 103b and object 105 interact, be transmitted radiation 103c by the radiation after object 105 decay.Detector array 104b is a suitable detector system of surveying than low dosage.Also will be sent to the data processing work station after transmitted radiation 103c is detected by 104b, and be recorded and preserve, and carry out the processing procedure described later, to obtain the material properties of object by the processor in the data processing work station by transmission control system.
Tested object 105 and other comprise the displacement that exists between all detection systems of radiation source relatively at the uniform velocity.Can think that here object 105 moves towards a direction with V at the uniform velocity on the direction of perpendicular ray bundle 102a and 103b.Therefore, the penetrating value after the value of being surveyed and being noted by detector array 104a and 104b respectively can come coupling beam 102a and 103b interacted to the same voxel of object according to the frequency with radiation source emission X ray of speed V.When radiation source is 101 during for the radiation source of continuous mode,, can come according to the frequency acquisition of detector accurate coupling probe value as radioisotopic radioactive source.
As another embodiment, this slit 203 also can be a thin narrow rectangle collimating slit, and this moment, the beam 103a of emission then was a pencil beam.
When beam 103a is a fladellum, in order to realize the point source imaging mode, can be with the collimating apparatus 205a among Fig. 2 B as the colimated light system among Fig. 1 108.The covering of the fan of the collimating slit of collimating apparatus 205a and beam 103a is perpendicular.That is to say, if collimating apparatus 205b is the collimating slit that produces ray 103a, for example slit 203, then the collimating apparatus that place at 108 places in the position will be collimating apparatus 205a, this moment, collimating apparatus 205a and 205b were 205c with the colimated light system that quadrature obtains a pen shape beam of a generation, it is a form of a stroke or a combination of strokes pencil that thereby the wire harness of scatterer is incided in realization, and makes that scatterer is approximate point source emission scattering.This has just guaranteed that whole forward scattering imaging system remains a point source imaging system.
Be under the situation of spheroidite of a larger volume when scatterer,, also need the collimation on the forward scattering ray travel direction that produces in order to satisfy the requirement of point source imaging to a source size.Colimated light system among Fig. 1 107 is embodied as the collimating apparatus of a radiation divergent shape, the collimating apparatus 206 shown in Fig. 2 C and Fig. 2 D.
In addition, scatterer also can not be a spheroidite but adopt cubic.In this case, need to adopt the trumpet-shaped colimated light system of a pair of shown in the collimating apparatus among Fig. 2 E 222.After the beam 103a that radiation source produces interacted with the scatterer of cubic 221, the forward scattering of generation was outwards launched through colimated light system 222 backs, and was detected system 223 behind the object interaction and gathered.According to the imaging path as can be known, Ci Shi imaging mode also is similar to a point source imaging.
For the scatterer in the foregoing description, the level height at its center is identical with the central horizontal height of radiation source divergent-ray, thereby guarantees with tested object interactional path the taking place and be parallel to each other of ray of two kinds of different-energies.
In order further to improve detection accuracy, especially on the detector system of surveying the forward scattering radiation, can use a direction collimating aperture.Shown in Figure 4, after forward scattering radiation that the rectangular cylindricality scatterer of being made by low Z material 410 produces and tested object 411 interact,, enter detector crystal 413, thereby be detected and record through collimating aperture 412.Collimating aperture 412 is a cubical through hole, is made by high Z material.
Fig. 3 has illustrated the flow process to material identification of the utility model embodiment.According to embodiment of the present utility model, before to the inspection of unknown object, want elder generation to obtain the function of material identification according to known materials.
At step S110, earlier obtain penetrating value by the X ray 102a of radiation source 101 emissions and the forward scattering radiation 103b of scatterer emission and the interactional detection of known materials of different-thickness.Selecting known materials here for use is to select according to the atomic number of material.
At step S120, mate the penetrating value of two kinds of energy to the various materials of same thickness.The transparency of these two kinds of energy be can calculate in fact earlier, promptly (dosage/not and the interactional radiation dose of tested object penetrated).Then, calculate the ratio of these two kinds of energy again.
At step S130, according to the different materials grouping,, simulate the change curve of various materials with thickness according to the ratio that obtains in the S120 step, the function of this curve is the function of identification material.This function can be used for the material of object is discerned.
When one unknown object is detected, at step S210, the penetrating value after the material of two kinds of energy of collection and this object interacts, and do Data Matching.Then in step S220, obtain the functional value of the fitting function that in S130, obtains according to the transparency ratio of two kinds of energy that match, compare with the functional value of known materials with this functional value, thereby judge the material properties of checking matter.
At last, in order to make that the supervisory personnel can easily analysis result, will be according to recognition result and half-tone information, according to predefined sign color table, effective atomic number according to material is designated different colors with gray scale, thereby produces the characteristic image of the material properties of expression object.Different material is with different color showings in this image.
