Description
Technical field
Present technique relates to fields such as medical imaging, industrial detection.Can directly apply to the medical application fields that needs the hypervelocity imaging, also can be applicable to industrial application such as Non-Destructive Testing.
Background technology
CT is writing a Chinese character in simplified form of Computed Tomography, and promptly computed tomography is that a kind of computer technology of utilizing is rebuild the scan mode that obtains three-dimensional tomographic image to testee tomoscan image.This scan mode is that the ray by single axial plane penetrates testee, and is different with transmitance to the absorption of ray according to the testee each several part, sees through ray and by the three-dimensionalreconstruction imaging by computer acquisition.The CT that mentions in this patent does not specify and all refers to X ray CT.
CT can be divided into for five generations according to development, the sweep test in preceding four generations is realized (mechanic scanning mode) by mobile x-ray pipe tie detector, wherein in the third generation and the 4th generation, adopted the rotation sweep mode, its sweep test is made up of X-ray tube, detector and scanning support, and X-ray tube and detector are installed on the scanning support.High speed rotating by scanning support during CT work makes X-ray tube send X ray in each position of circumference to sweep object, reverts to the image of the tomography that is scanned after the reception of process detector and the processing of computer system.
The screw type continuous multi-layer scanning computed tomography (MDCT) of development in recent years belongs to the 4th generation CT in essence, its sweep velocity there is no progress than screw type Single Slice Mode CT, but its detector row number increases, thereby X-ray tube rotates a circle and just can obtain multi-layer data.For 64 ripe at present helical layer type continuous multi-layer scanning computed tomographies, rotating a circle needs 0.33s, and its time good resolution is in 50ms (temporal resolution is mainly determined by the scan period, and is also relevant with reconstruction mode with the scanning coverage in multi-Slice CT).
The advantage of the scan mode of above-mentioned the 4th generation CT is the spatial resolution height, and shortcoming is that temporal resolution is low.Limiting its time resolution principal element is its sweep velocity.For present state-of-the-art multi-layer spiral CT, maximum sweep rate also has only 0.33s/ week, this is by the decision of the physical strength limit of scanning support and X-ray tube: when the CT high speed rotating, the linear velocity at X-ray tube place has reached the first cosmic velocity, for guaranteeing the stable of structure, there is the limit in the rotating speed of CT.
The scanning theory of the 5th generation CT (UFCT) is different with preceding four generations, advanced electron beam technology (electron beam technology) is adopted in the generation of X ray, the anode of bulb separates with negative electrode, from the electron gun divergent bundle of negative electrode, through quickening to form high-power electron beam, again by assembling and the magnetic core logical circuit deflection coil, project the anode target surface that is 210 ° of arcs, produce X-ray beam, replace traditional mechanicalness rotation, sweep velocity can reach 50ms/ week.
To sum up, in the imaging of medical field, be representative with the cardiac imaging, use mechanic scanning mode can accomplish that per second finishes tomoscan 2～3 times to same position, use the electron beam scanning pattern can accomplish that per second finishes tomoscan 20 times to same position; In the industrial detection field, carry out the sweep velocity of fault imaging generally in a minute magnitude for large-sized object.
Under the technology path of existing CT imaging device, the approach that improves sweep velocity has three kinds: improve hardware performance 1..As improve mechanical hook-up rotational speed, increase radiogenic quantity etc.; 2. utilize the stability of testee to carry out equivalence scanning.As in cardiac imaging, using gating technology; 3. change scan mode.As electron beam scanning (UFCT).
More than these means can add fast scan speed to a certain extent, but can't further realize hypervelocity scanning, realize fault imaging to high-speed moving object.

The acceleration principle of coaxial resonance accelerating cavity 8 in the explained later electric scanner.Obtain power from microwave power source 3 during coaxial cavity work, and in the chamber, set up the field distribution of TM010 mould, referring to Fig. 6.The left side is a left view among Fig. 6, and the right side is a front elevation, and dotted line is magnetic field, and solid line is an electric field.The field distribution feature of this pattern is as follows:
Only there is longitudinal component in electric field, and only there is azimuth component in magnetic field
Longitudinal electric field and poloidal magnetic field are longitudinally even
Longitudinal electric field the strongest near coaxial cavity external diameter and internal diameter mid point near outer radius
The strength of longitudinal electric field magnetic field intensity is 0 (by the decision of resonator cavity characteristic)
By top field distribution characteristics, the TM010 mould of coaxial cavity is fit to accelerated electron, and near the magnetic field near the linear highfield makes the horizontal self-focusing of electron beam, need not to increase focus module.
Referring to Figure 10, the left side of figure is the right view of coaxial cavity 8 and coupling mechanism 14, and the right side is the front elevation of coaxial cavity 8 and coupling mechanism 14, and the field of drawing is the field pattern of this view depth direction (vertical paper direction) midsection.In order to play TM at the coaxial cavity underexcitation
010The field pattern of transmission must mate with the field pattern in the coaxial cavity in the field of mould, coupling mechanism (grey color part among Figure 10).The minimum mould of working in waveguide coupler is TE
10Mould will adopt this field pattern to carry out the power feed-in, only need coupling mechanism be installed as shown in the figure and get final product.The minor face that also is waveguide is parallel to the coaxial cavity axis, and long limit is perpendicular to the coaxial cavity axis.See that from Figure 10 field pattern coupling in coupling mechanism and the coaxial cavity can effectively encourage TM in coaxial cavity at this moment
010The field of mould.
Current-limiting apparatus 16 can be installed in the maximum field position of coaxial cavity 8, the electron beam group of the about 10keV of emission zero energy.The movement locus of electron beam group in the coaxial cavity electromagnetic field of canonical parameter seen Fig. 7.The left side is the coaxial cavity left view that amplifies among Fig. 7, and the right side will be amplified near the electron beam.The about 5cm of the height of coaxial cavity, from Fig. 7 right side electron beam group movement locus enlarged drawing (filtering trapped electron not, and the big part of the electron density of only having drawn) as can be seen, electron beam group's lateral dimension has the trend of increase when the inner acceleration of coaxial cavity, but going out the drift section behind the coaxial cavity because the transverse momentum modulation that is subjected to when inner in the chamber has presented the pack effect.Here it is exists the reason of drift section between coaxial cavity 8 and the metallic target 9, drift section can make electron beam roll into a ball horizontal self-focusing.
In certain embodiments, because actual installation, metallic target 9 and detector 11 can not be positioned at same lengthwise position, so the X ray that the electron beam target practice produces can the oblique detector surface that is mapped to.Therefore, need the surface of tilt detector, make it vertical with X ray master incident direction.
In addition, tilt for guaranteeing elementary X ray master incident direction, the target surface normal direction that need make metallic target 9 is one greater than 90 ° angle with the electron beam incident direction, and this " inclination " that has just caused the metallic target target surface as shown in Figure 8.Preferably, the target surface normal direction of metallic target is about 135 ° of angles with the electron beam incident direction.
In certain embodiments, in order to make the X ray better quality of irradiating object, need between metallic target 9 and detector 11, install collimating apparatus 12 additional.As shown in Figure 8, the effect of collimating apparatus 12 is the elementary X ray (X ray that produces when being electronic target) that stop a part, only allow the elementary X ray of core pass through, thereby make the directivity of X ray better, the angle of X ray intensity distributes to the interference of data accuracy when avoiding the detector multilayer.
In certain embodiments, even consider and installed collimating apparatus 12 additional, X ray intensity still has certain angle to distribute, and can utilize this angle to distribute to realize the purpose of a circle scanning multilayer imaging." detector multilayer " just is divided into multilayer with detector, when detector surface is arrived in x-ray bombardment, different layers is experienced different X ray intensity (having carried the information of the different sections of object), thereby obtain the data of a plurality of sections of object, after one circle scanning was finished, a plurality of sections had all obtained imaging.The detector multilayer can shorten the entire scan time.
In illustrated embodiment, the scheme that has adopted coaxial resonator that electron beam is quickened, but in other embodiments, can not use coaxial resonator that electron beam is quickened, for example adopt high-voltage electric field that electron beam is quickened.Perhaps, in certain embodiments,, then need not any accelerator if the intensity of the electron beam that the electron gun transmitter unit produces is enough.
In certain embodiments, above-mentioned CT equipment has multiple mode of operation.This is by the structures shape of its electron source, also is the advantage of the CT equipment of present technique with respect to other CT.Referring to Fig. 9, (a) chart is understood normal mode of operation: the continuous electron beam that 16 pairs of electron guns 7 of current-limiting apparatus send carries out current limliting on annular trace, electron beam is got to metallic target 9 back and is sent X ray from target spot 13 and penetrate object, and then is detected device 11 and receives and obtain data.
In certain embodiments, can increase driving mechanism, make current-limiting apparatus 16 wriggle.Still referring to Fig. 9, (b) figure has shown another mode of operation, i.e. " wriggling " of current-limiting apparatus 16.So-called " wriggling " is exactly that current-limiting apparatus 16 place circumference back and forth rotate in a low-angle, and the benefit of this pattern is to improve spatial resolution.Target spot is followed current-limiting apparatus 16 rotations, the angle that X ray can't cover before the X ray that sends had covered.From this visual angle, " wriggling " of current-limiting apparatus 16 is equivalent to encrypt at double the density of electron beam, just electron beam density strengthened one times such as the state of " wriggling " to (b) figure.The number of times of electronics emission is many more in " wriggling ", and level of encryption is just big more, and the spatial resolution of CT is also just high more.
For example, in certain embodiments, increase driving mechanism for illustrated equipment, be configured to when electron beam generating device produces electron beam, drive current-limiting apparatus 16 and back and forth rotate an angle, this angle is smaller or equal to the angle that circle center line connecting became of hole adjacent on the current-limiting apparatus with place, a plurality of hole circumference that is circular layout.
Although should be pointed out that the present technique main application fields, because the adjustability of X ray energy still has need to be applied to the therapeutic treatment of sigmatron or the potentiality in industrial nondestructive testing field in the medical imaging field.
Though in the above-described embodiments, employing be that the electron beam that electron gun produces is carried out circular scanning, and then carry out current limliting with current-limiting apparatus 16 and produce and be parallel to axial electron beam, also can adopt other electron beam generating apparatus.
According to other embodiment of present technique, beat the diameter of the target spot on metallic target 9 in order to improve electron beam, thereby improve the spatial resolution of CT equipment, circular cowling 18 can also be set in the metallic target front.As shown in figure 11, this circular cowling for example has less hole, thereby the target spot size of parallel electron beam on metallic target 9 that produces from current-limiting apparatus 16 retrained.According to other embodiment, can also between current-limiting apparatus 16 and metallic target 9, the high-pressure uniform electric field be set, the electron beam that current-limiting apparatus 16 is produced quickens.
Though in the above embodiments, the different examples of setting of producing method, accelerated mode and the metallic target of parallel electron beam have been provided respectively, but those skilled in the art should expect that the modes that these are different make up the embodiment that produces other, are not described in detail here.
In other embodiments, also provide a kind of method of CT equipment, comprised step: produced an electron beam from electron gun; Described electron beam is carried out deflection, and yawing moment changes in time, realizes circular scanning; With current-limiting apparatus described electron beam is carried out current limliting, make, export a plurality of electron beams of annular spread when described electron beam during along a plurality of holes scanning that is circular layout with a plurality of holes that are circular layout; With described beam bombardment one annular reflection target, the X ray of the axes intersect of the electron beam of generation and described annular spread; And detect the X ray penetrate behind the tested object.
According to other embodiment, described method also comprises step: utilize the resonance accelerating cavity work in the TM010 pattern that the electron beam of annular spread is quickened successively.
