Fig. 2 shows the structural representation according to an embodiment of the equipment that is used for the ray scanning imaging of the utility model.
The ray scanning imaging device can comprise ray detecting device and a plurality of ray generator 21.
When the inspection object got into scanning area, a plurality of ray generators 21 can send beam to the inspection object successively, thereby a tomography of inspection object is scanned.
All beams are gathered by ray detecting device after passing the inspection object.
Ray detecting device can be an arbitrary shape, for example can be multisection type semi-closed structure or arc structure.In the present embodiment, the semiclosed syndeton of multisection type that is constituted with a plurality of ray detector linear arraies is that example describes.
A plurality of ray generators 21 can distribute along given shape, so that the inspection object passes through from the space that this given shape constituted.For example, a plurality of ray generators 21 can be along the frame setting of rectangular shaped rim, polygon frame or other geometric configuratioies, and the inspection object passes through from the inner space that above-mentioned frame constituted.In the present embodiment, a plurality of ray generator 21 evenly distributes along circular arc.The central angle of this circular arc is at least π+2 γ, and wherein 2 γ are the size at the complete fan of fladellum angle.
In the present embodiment, a plurality of ray detector linear arraies connect with segmentation structure.Particularly; Ray detector linear array 22, ray detector linear array 23 and ray detector linear array 24 are positioned at same plane and are connected successively through the end; And ray detector linear array 22 does not link to each other with ray detector linear array 24, to constitute the semiclosed framework of door case type.Wherein, each ray detector linear array can comprise a plurality of X-ray detection X unit along line spread.
The inspection object can be carried through overscan regions by transport 25.In a scan period, a plurality of ray generators 21 send beam to the inspection object successively, to accomplish the scanning to a tomography.The beam that ray generator 21 is sent is gathered by the ray detector linear array after passing the inspection object.Through the ray numerical value of being gathered is handled, can obtain checking the reconstructed image of object.
A plurality of ray generators plane, 21 place and plane, a plurality of ray detector linear array place should be two Different Plane.
Preferably, this two plane can be parallel, and all perpendicular with inspection motion of objects direction.Like this, can avoid the cross-talk and irradiation blind area of different probe units.
At this, at first brief account once, utilize fan-ray beam carry out accurate reconstruction the data completeness condition that must satisfy.This data completeness condition comprises: the first, the completeness condition of angle, and promptly the x ray irradiation x angle to the inspection object is at least π+2 γ, and wherein 2 γ are the size at the complete fan of fladellum angle.Guarantee under all scanning angles that the second, the ray numerical value that ray detector is gathered does not exist and blocks.That is to say, under all scanning angles, all can effectively be detected by ray detector by the beam that each ray generator produced.
In the present embodiment, the beam that each ray generator 21 is sent can be fladellum, and its fan angle can be 2 γ.Certainly, beam can be other shapes also, and is not limited to fladellum.For example, can be as required, each ray generator 21 is provided with one or more ray launching ports, but each ray launching port emitting linear shape beam.Like this, a plurality of ray launching ports of each ray generator 21 can be launched one group of parallel beam.
Ray generator 21 can be selected x ray generator for use, also can select the ray generator of other kinds.Preferably, in the present embodiment, select the CNT x ray generator as the ray emission source.Compare with traditional X-ray machine, the advantage of this CNT x ray generator is, needn't utilize high temperature just can produce ray, opening and closing fast, and volume is littler.When utilizing this CNT x ray generator that the inspection object is carried out the multi-angle irradiation, can effectively improve radial imaging speed.The detailed content of relevant CNT x ray generator can be referring to following document: G.Z.Yue; Q.Qiu; B.Gao; Et al.Generation of continuous and pulsed diagnostic imaging x-ray radiation usi ng a carbon-nanotube-based field-emission cathode.Appl.Phys.Let t.81,355 (2002); Doi:10.1063/1.1492305 no longer is described in detail at this.
Because the central angle of the circular arc that a plurality of ray generators 21 in the present embodiment are constituted is π+2 γ, is equivalent to 21 pairs of ray generators and checks that it is the scanning of π+2 γ that object has carried out angular range.That is to say that the structure setting of a plurality of ray generators 21 of the utility model has been satisfied the complete requirement of angle in the data completeness condition.
About second requirement in the data completeness condition; Because a plurality of ray generators 21 have constituted an annular semi-closed structure; Ray detector linear array 22, ray detector linear array 23 and ray detector linear array 24 then constitute a corresponding with it frame shape semi-closed structure, and whole beams that each ray generator produced all can effectively be detected by the ray detector linear array.Therefore, this structure setting can be satisfied second requirement in the data completeness condition.
The X-ray detection X unit can be pseudo-dual intensity probe unit.Certainly, the X-ray detection X unit also can adopt the probe unit of other classifications, for example monoenergetic probe unit, multipotency probe unit or true dual intensity probe unit.
The pseudo-dual intensity probe unit that is adopted comprises two-layer crystal and the filter plate between two crystal.This filter plate can be the copper filter plate.The ground floor crystal obtains low energy ray numerical value, and second layer crystal obtains the high-energy ray numerical value after the shaping.This pseudo-dual intensity probe unit has inexpensive characteristics, is easy to apply.
Need to prove that the number of ray detector linear array is not limited to three shown in Fig. 2.For example, can utilize four or more the ray detector linear array of more number gather ray numerical value.In this case, adjacent two ray detector linear array angulations should be greater than pi/2.
Can also adjust number, angle and the length of the linear array of detector according to factors such as the volume of checking object, shapes, but set ray detector linear array must at first satisfy the data completeness condition.
A plurality of ray detector linear arraies of the utility model are owing to adopt the semiclosed framed structure of multisection type, not only can complete collection ray projection numerical value, and also higher than circular arc detector array cost performance.Specifically, for the probe unit of similar number, the inner space that a plurality of ray detector linear arraies of the utility model are constituted is bigger, allows the bigger inspection object of volume to pass through; And work as the inner space that is constituted when suitable, the probe unit that this structural arrangement adopted of the utility model still less can reduce equipment cost.
In addition, also can adopt the semiclosed syndeton of multisection type shown in the ray detecting device alternate figures 2 of other shapes.For example, can select X-ray detection X circular arc array for use.This X-ray detection X circular arc array can comprise along the equally distributed a plurality of X-ray detection Xs of circular arc unit.
The equipment that is used for the ray scanning imaging of the utility model also can comprise image-generating unit.This image-generating unit can be handled the ray detection numerical value that the ray detector linear array is gathered, to obtain the faultage image of inspection object.
Certainly, the ray detection numerical value that the ray detector linear array is gathered also can be sent to main control and data processing terminal via data transmission system, and carries out numerical value by main control and data processing terminal and handle.
Data are handled be described in detail before, at first introduce and utilize method that fan-ray beam rebuilds structural requirement the ray probe unit.
Fan-beam weighted filtering back projection type (FBP) method for reconstructing of standard only is applicable to arranging of two kinds of probe units: a kind of promptly a plurality of probe units are circular-arc arranges in order to wait corner structure, and the angle between the pairing ray of each probe unit equates; Another kind is the equidistance structure, and promptly a plurality of probe units linearly shape are arranged, and the distance between each detector cells is identical, and the axis of the beam that ray generator sent and the formed straight line of a plurality of probe unit are perpendicular.When adopting linear beam group, can adopt with the similar method of above-mentioned method for reconstructing and rebuild, give unnecessary details again at this.
In the present embodiment; Because the doughnut structure of a plurality of ray generators and the semiclosed shaped as frame structure of multisection type of a plurality of ray detector linear arraies make the pairing a plurality of X-ray detection Xs of part ray generator unit not meet the requirement of the desired equidistance structure of aforementioned method for reconstructing.Specifically, the pairing a plurality of X-ray detection Xs of part ray generator unit does not form the perpendicular straight line in axis of the beam that is sent with this ray generator.Below in conjunction with Fig. 3 and Fig. 4 this problem is carried out illustrated in detail.
Fig. 3 shows that the position of ray generator and ray detector linear array concerns synoptic diagram in the present embodiment.
As shown in Figure 3; The pairing a plurality of X-ray detection Xs of ray generator A unit all is positioned on the ray detector linear array 24; And the axis of the beam that the straight line at place, a plurality of X-ray detection Xs unit and ray generator A are sent is perpendicular, and the distance between each detector cells is identical.That is to say that for ray generator A, these detector cells belong to the desired equidistance structure of standard fan-beam FBP method for reconstructing.
Similarly also comprise the pairing a plurality of detector cells of ray generator B and C with it.And the pairing a plurality of detector cells of remaining ray generator all do not belong to the desired equidistance structure of standard fan-beam FBP method for reconstructing.
For this problem is described better, we are divided into five zones with the circular arc at a plurality of ray generators place.Wherein, the beam launched of the ray generator 21 of zone in 1 only is responsible for collections by the linear array detector 24 on right side; The beam that ray generator 21 in the zone 2 is launched is responsible for collection by the detector 24 on right side and the detector 23 of bottom; The beam that ray generator 21 in the zone 3 is launched only is responsible for collection by the detector 23 of bottom; The beam that ray generator 21 in the zone 4 is launched is responsible for collection by the detector 22 in left side and the detector 23 of bottom; The beam that ray generator 21 in the zone 5 is launched only is responsible for collection by the detector 22 in left side.
Existing is example with the ray generator in the zone 1 with corresponding ray detector 21, is that non-equidistance ray collection numerical value describes to the ray numerical value of being gathered.
Fig. 4 A is that ray generator, ray detector and the virtual ray position of detector in the zone 1 concerns synoptic diagram.
Shown in Fig. 4 A, actual detector array 24 is perpendicular with the axis of the beam that ray generator A is sent, but the axis out of plumb of the beam that is sent with ray generator D.Therefore, for ray generator D, it is not that the equidistance ray is gathered numerical value that the ray that detector array 24 is obtained is gathered numerical value.Wherein, in the present embodiment, β is the pairing sampling angle of data for projection, and 2 γ are the maximum fan-angle of fan-ray beam.
In order to address this problem, image-generating unit can to ray generator D be provided with the corresponding isometric type dummy detector of ray generator D linear array 24 '.
Isometric type dummy detector linear array 24 ' can comprise is a plurality of along line spread and the virtual probe unit that is equally spaced.The axis of the beam of isometric type dummy detector linear array 24 ' sent with ray generator D is perpendicular.
Then; Image-generating unit is according to the line of ray generator D and X-ray detection X unit 24; Confirm and the corresponding X-ray detection X of virtual probe unit n1 unit m1, and, obtain the ray detection numerical value of virtual probe unit n1 based on the ray detection numerical value of X-ray detection X unit m1.Isometric type dummy detector linear array 24 ' go up other virtual probe units this method also capable of using to obtain.
Fig. 4 B is that ray generator E, ray detector array and the virtual ray position of detector in the zone 2 concerns synoptic diagram.
In Fig. 4 B, the beam that the ray generator E in the zone 2 is launched is by the detector 24 on right side and the detector 23 common responsible collections of bottom, and the ray numerical value of therefore being gathered is not that the isometric type ray is gathered numerical value.
With Fig. 4 category-A seemingly, gather numerical value in order to obtain the isometric type ray, image-generating unit be provided with dummy detector linear array 23 ' with dummy detector linear array 24 ', and with two dummy detector linear arraies along the straight line assembled arrangement.
Then, image-generating unit confirms that according to the line of ray generator E and X-ray detection X unit 23 and X-ray detection X unit 24 virtual probe unit n2 is corresponding with X-ray detection X unit m2, and virtual probe unit n3 is corresponding with X-ray detection X unit m3.Can obtain the ray detection numerical value of virtual probe unit n2 and n3 based on the ray detection numerical value of X-ray detection X unit m2 and m3.
For the pairing ray detector linear array of the ray generator among the regional 3-5, also can adopt similar approach to obtain corresponding dummy detector linear array, repeat no more at this.
Need to prove that adopt in the isometric type dummy detector linear array that said method obtained, a plurality of virtual ray probe units are equidistance not, perhaps the corresponding a plurality of virtual probe units in the X-ray detection X unit of a reality.For this situation, can after obtaining final image, carry out post-processed; Perhaps adopt suitable method, the position of a plurality of virtual probe units of being obtained is suitably adjusted, to satisfy equidistant requirement between each virtual ray probe unit.
Each ray generator also should equate with the distance of corresponding isometric type dummy detector array.For example, can be the distance between ray generator A and the ray detector linear array 24 with this distance setting.
Like this, all the ray detection numerical value of the linear array of the pairing detector of isometric type dummy detector linear array and ray generator A, B and C has just constituted equidistance fan-beam projection numerical value.
Similarly, adopting under the ray detecting device situation that is made up of circular-arc ray detector array, if beam is a fladellum, the ray detection numerical value that then this device obtained constitutes equidistance fan-beam projection numerical value; If the beam group of beam for being made up of a plurality of parallel linear beams, the ray detection numerical value that then this device obtained constitutes the collimated beam projection values.No longer give unnecessary details at this.
For the X-ray detection X unit is pseudo-dual intensity probe unit, and image-generating unit can carry out the dual intensity resolution process to equidistance fan-beam projection numerical value, to obtain the dual intensity coefficient of dissociation of different substrate materials material.Afterwards, utilize filter back-projection algorithm that the dual intensity coefficient of dissociation of different substrate materials material is carried out the dual intensity reconstruction, thereby obtain the image of inspection object.
This equipment also can comprise database.This database can be stored the atomic number and the electron density of suspicious object.The atomic number of the inspection object that image-generating unit will be obtained in dual intensity is rebuild and the data in electron density distribution and the database are compared, to judge whether the inspection object is suspicious object.
The equipment of the utility model needn't be provided with slip-ring device, just can accomplish the scanning imagery to the inspection object.In a scan period, a plurality of ray generators send beam to the inspection object successively, and a plurality of ray detector linear arraies are responsible for gathering ray projection numerical value, thereby accomplish the scanning to a tomography.At whole detection process, equipment need not to rotate and can obtain complete ray projection numerical value fast, has effectively reduced the used time of inspection.
In addition, because the equipment of the utility model need not be provided with slip-ring device, the overall volume of equipment is littler, and equipment cost is lower, and phenomenon such as the imaging of having avoided rotation process to cause is unintelligible, makes that the picture quality of the inspection object that obtained is higher.
In addition, the technical scheme of the utility model adopts the linear array of pseudo-dual intensity detector to cooperate short scanning computed tomography scanner uni to rebuild, and effectively reduces luggage and articles and blocks the influence for safety inspection.
Fig. 5 shows the structural representation that is used for the equipment of ray scanning imaging according to the another kind of the utility model.
This equipment comprises a plurality of ray generators 31 and ray detecting device 32.
A plurality of ray generator 31 evenly distributes along circular arc.The central angle of formed circular arc 312 is at least 180 °.In a scan period, a plurality of ray generators 31 can send beam to the inspection object simultaneously.Beam is detected by ray detecting device 32 after passing the inspection object.
Each ray generator 31 can be provided with a plurality of ray emission unit.In the present embodiment, each ray generator is provided with 5 ray emission unit 311.5 ray emission unit 311 can send parallel linear beam simultaneously, to form a beam group.See by figure, the crossover zone of a plurality of beam groups be scanning area 313 (Field of View, FOV).
Correspondingly, sniffer 32 comprises a plurality of X-ray detection Xs unit 321.A plurality of X-ray detection Xs unit 321 evenly distributes along circular arc 322.Circular arc 322 equates that with the radius of circular arc 312 central angle is the straight angle.Ray emission unit 311 on the ray generator 31 is corresponding one by one with ray receiving element 312 on the ray detecting device 32.Like this, all the beam launched of ray emission unit 311 is not in that to arrive the ray detecting device place overlapping.It can check that object carries out profile scanning when checking object through overscan regions 313.The ray detection numerical value that this device obtained constitutes the collimated beam projection values.
Ray detecting device 32 should be two planes with plane, ray generator 31 place.Preferably, two planes are parallel, and all perpendicular with inspection motion of objects direction.
Then, the ray detection numerical value that image-generating unit is gathered ray detecting device 32 is handled, to obtain the image of inspection object.
Because in the present embodiment; All ray emission unit 311 equate with the distance between the X-ray detection X unit 321 accordingly; Ray detection numerical value to being obtained needn't be reset, and can directly carry out the dual intensity resolution process to this collimated beam projection values, to obtain the dual intensity coefficient of dissociation of different substrate materials material; And utilize filter back-projection algorithm that the dual intensity coefficient of dissociation of different substrate materials material is carried out the dual intensity reconstruction, thereby obtain the image of inspection object.
In addition, image-generating unit also can obtain the atomic number and the electron density of inspection object in dual intensity is rebuild, and these data and the atomic number and the electron density that are stored in the suspicious object in the database are compared, to judge whether the inspection object is suspicious object.
