图2示出本实用新型一实施例提供的探测装置3的结构示意图。参考图2,探测装置3包括:Fig. 2 shows a schematic structural diagram of a detection device 3 provided by an embodiment of the present invention. With reference to Fig. 2, detection device 3 comprises:

其中,低能探测器组件32设置于靠近射线源2的一侧,高能探测器组件31设置于远离射线源2的一侧。也就是说,射线源2发出的射线首先进入低能探测器321。Wherein, the low-energy detector assembly 32 is arranged on the side close to the radiation source 2 , and the high-energy detector assembly 31 is arranged on the side away from the radiation source 2 . That is to say, the radiation emitted by the radiation source 2 enters the low-energy detector 321 first.
继续参考图2,高能探测器组件31包括沿图2中带箭头的虚线所示的圆弧轨迹N排列的面阵列高能探测器311。其中,面阵列的高能探测器包括多排高能探测器311,并且任意相邻两排的高能探测器311紧密设置。换句话说,任意相邻两排的高能探测器311之间的间距无限趋近于0。可选地,面阵列的每个高能探测单元的中心可以分布在以射线源2的焦点为圆心的圆弧上。Continuing to refer to FIG. 2 , the high-energy detector assembly 31 includes surface array high-energy detectors 311 arranged along the arc track N shown by the dotted line with arrows in FIG. 2 . Wherein, the high-energy detectors of the area array include multiple rows of high-energy detectors 311, and any two adjacent rows of high-energy detectors 311 are closely arranged. In other words, the distance between any two adjacent rows of high-energy detectors 311 approaches zero infinitely. Optionally, the centers of each high-energy detection unit of the area array may be distributed on a circular arc centered on the focus of the ray source 2 .
可选地,多排高能探测器排布的预定轨迹为与传送方向V平行的直线。Optionally, the predetermined track arranged by the multiple rows of high-energy detectors is a straight line parallel to the conveying direction V.
图3示出本实用新型实施例提供的单排探测器的结构示意图。此处的单排探测器可以为单排的低能探测器或单排的高能探测器。如图3所示,单排探测器是由多个探测单元按照预定轨迹排布形成的。其中,每个探测单元独立输出一个数据。可选地,多个探测单元之间可以连续排布也可以间隔排布。Fig. 3 shows a schematic structural diagram of a single row of detectors provided by an embodiment of the present invention. The single row of detectors here may be a single row of low-energy detectors or a single row of high-energy detectors. As shown in Figure 3, a single-row detector is formed by arranging multiple detection units according to a predetermined track. Wherein, each detection unit independently outputs a piece of data. Optionally, multiple detection units may be arranged continuously or at intervals.
在本实用新型的实施例中,每排高能探测器包括多个按预定轨迹排布的高能探测单元。参考图2,多个高能探测单元沿图2中的弧形轨迹M排布。可选地,每排高能探测器中的多个高能探测单元可沿直线排布。In an embodiment of the present invention, each row of high-energy detectors includes a plurality of high-energy detection units arranged in predetermined tracks. Referring to FIG. 2 , a plurality of high-energy detection units are arranged along the arc track M in FIG. 2 . Optionally, multiple high-energy detection units in each row of high-energy detectors may be arranged in a straight line.
在本实用新型的实施例中,高能探测器中的高能探测单元的排布轨迹可以为与扫描通道的传送方向V大致平行的直线。也就是说,多个高能探测单元按照扫描通道的传送方向排布。高能探测器中的高能探测单元的排布轨迹也可以为以射线源的焦点为圆心的圆弧。In an embodiment of the present invention, the arrangement trajectory of the high-energy detection units in the high-energy detector may be a straight line approximately parallel to the conveying direction V of the scanning channel. That is to say, a plurality of high-energy detection units are arranged according to the conveying direction of the scanning channel. The arrangement trajectory of the high-energy detection units in the high-energy detector can also be a circular arc with the focal point of the ray source as the center.
在本实用新型的实施例中,低能探测器组件32包括多排按图2中的圆弧轨迹N间隔排布的低能探测器321。可选地,相邻两个低能探测器321之间的间距可以相等,也可以不相等。In an embodiment of the present invention, the low-energy detector assembly 32 includes a plurality of rows of low-energy detectors 321 arranged at intervals according to the arc track N in FIG. 2 . Optionally, the distance between two adjacent low-energy detectors 321 may be equal or unequal.
可选地,每相邻两排低能探测器之间的间距相等。低能探测器31之间的间距可以是5至80毫米、10至70毫米、20至60毫米、30至50毫米、35至45毫米、36至40毫米,或者38毫米。具体地,可根据被检查物体的需求进行设定。Optionally, the distance between every two adjacent rows of low-energy detectors is equal. The distance between the low energy detectors 31 may be 5 to 80 mm, 10 to 70 mm, 20 to 60 mm, 30 to 50 mm, 35 to 45 mm, 36 to 40 mm, or 38 mm. Specifically, it can be set according to the requirements of the inspected object.
其中,每排低能探测器均包括多个按预定轨迹排布的低能探测单元。参考图2,每排低能探测器中的多个低能探测单元也沿图2中的弧形轨迹排布。可选地,每排低能探测器中的多个低探测单元也可以按照与传送方向V平行的直线排布。Wherein, each row of low-energy detectors includes a plurality of low-energy detection units arranged according to predetermined tracks. Referring to FIG. 2 , multiple low-energy detection units in each row of low-energy detectors are also arranged along the arc track in FIG. 2 . Optionally, multiple low-energy detectors in each row of low-energy detectors may also be arranged in a straight line parallel to the conveying direction V.
在本实用新型的实施例中,低能探测器321的排数小于高能探测器311的排数,并且每排低能探测器321均覆盖一排高能探测器321。由于低能探测器321的排数小于高能探测器321的排数,因此高能探测器组件中包括被低能探测器覆盖的高能探测器和未被低能探测器覆盖的高能探测器。In an embodiment of the present invention, the number of rows of low-energy detectors 321 is smaller than the number of rows of high-energy detectors 311 , and each row of low-energy detectors 321 covers a row of high-energy detectors 321 . Since the number of rows of low-energy detectors 321 is smaller than that of high-energy detectors 321, the high-energy detector assembly includes high-energy detectors covered by low-energy detectors and high-energy detectors not covered by low-energy detectors.
图4示出图2中探测装置的侧视图。图5示出图2中低能探测器和高能探测器的能量响应曲线。如图4所示,在使用CT系统的过程中,通过利用图2中的探测装置,射线源1发出的X射线有三种穿透探测装置的方式:X射线直接进入低能探测器321并沉积,穿透低能探测器321的X射线再进入被低能探测器覆盖的高能探测器沉积,X射线直接进入未被低能探测器覆盖的高能探测器并沉积。FIG. 4 shows a side view of the detection device in FIG. 2 . FIG. 5 shows the energy response curves of the low energy detector and the high energy detector in FIG. 2 . As shown in FIG. 4, in the process of using the CT system, by using the detection device in FIG. 2, the X-rays emitted by the ray source 1 have three ways of penetrating the detection device: X-rays directly enter the low-energy detector 321 and deposit, The X-rays passing through the low-energy detector 321 enter the high-energy detector covered by the low-energy detector for deposition, and the X-rays directly enter the high-energy detector not covered by the low-energy detector and deposit.
其中,由于低能探测器321的排数小于高能探测器311的排数,因此高能探测器组件中才包括未被低能探测器覆盖的高能探测器,因此X射线才可以直接沉积在未被低能探测器覆盖的高能探测器。Wherein, because the number of rows of low-energy detectors 321 is less than the number of rows of high-energy detectors 311, high-energy detectors that are not covered by low-energy detectors are included in the high-energy detector assembly, so that X-rays can be directly deposited on areas that are not detected by low-energy detectors. High-energy detectors covered by detectors.
由于每排低能探测器321均覆盖一排高能探测器321,因此穿透低能探测器的射线可以沉积在被低能探测器覆盖的高能探测器。Since each row of low-energy detectors 321 covers a row of high-energy detectors 321, the rays penetrating the low-energy detectors can be deposited on the high-energy detectors covered by the low-energy detectors.
如图5所示,实线代表的是低能探测器的第一能量响应曲线、虚线代表的是被低能探测器覆盖的高能探测器的第二能量响应曲线、点划线代表的是未被低能探测器覆盖的高能探测器的第三能量响应曲线。As shown in Figure 5, the solid line represents the first energy response curve of the low-energy detector, the dotted line represents the second energy response curve of the high-energy detector covered by the low-energy detector, and the dotted line represents the energy response curve not covered by the low-energy detector. The third energy response curve of the high energy detector covered by the detector.
参考图4和图5,当X射线沉积在低能探测器后,低能探测器321的第一能量响应在低能段比较显著。Referring to FIG. 4 and FIG. 5 , after X-rays are deposited on the low-energy detector, the first energy response of the low-energy detector 321 is more significant in the low-energy section.
当X射线直接沉积在未被低能探测器覆盖的高能探测器时,未被低能探测器覆盖的高能探测器的第三能量响应在高能段较显著。When X-rays are directly deposited on the high-energy detector not covered by the low-energy detector, the third energy response of the high-energy detector not covered by the low-energy detector is more significant in the high-energy segment.
当X射线穿透低能探测器沉积在被低能探测器覆盖的高能探测器后,被低能探测器覆盖的高能探测器具有和第一能量响应不同的第二能量响应,第二能量响应是第一能量响应和第三能量响应的乘积。参见图5,第二能量响应在低能段和高能段之间的中间能段比较显著。When X-rays penetrate the low-energy detector and deposit on the high-energy detector covered by the low-energy detector, the high-energy detector covered by the low-energy detector has a second energy response different from the first energy response, and the second energy response is the first The product of the energy response and the third energy response. Referring to FIG. 5 , the second energy response is more significant in the intermediate energy segment between the low energy segment and the high energy segment.
继续参考图5,对于低能探测器、被低能探测器覆盖的高能探测器以及未被低能探测器覆盖的高能探测器这三类探测器而言,每类探测器中沉积比例最大的光子的能量不同。Continuing to refer to Figure 5, for the three types of detectors: low-energy detectors, high-energy detectors covered by low-energy detectors, and high-energy detectors not covered by low-energy detectors, the energy of the photon with the largest proportion deposited in each type of detector different.
也就是说,低能探测器的第一能量响应的峰值对应的能量、被低能探测器覆盖的高能探测器的第二能量响应的峰值对应的能量、未被低能探测器覆盖的高能探测器的第三能量响应的峰值对应的能量依次增加。That is to say, the energy corresponding to the peak value of the first energy response of the low-energy detector, the energy corresponding to the peak value of the second energy response of the high-energy detector covered by the low-energy detector, and the energy corresponding to the peak value of the second energy response of the high-energy detector not covered by the low-energy detector. The energy corresponding to the peak value of the three energy responses increases sequentially.
因此,使用本实用新型实施例提供的探测器装置的CT系统可以获取被检查物体的三能投影数据。相比于双能投影图像,三能投影图像能更准确地描述被扫描材料的衰减系数函数,从而具有更强的材料分辨能力。Therefore, the CT system using the detector device provided by the embodiment of the present invention can acquire the three-energy projection data of the inspected object. Compared with the dual-energy projection image, the triple-energy projection image can more accurately describe the attenuation coefficient function of the scanned material, thus having a stronger material resolution capability.
在本实用新型的实施例中,低能探测器组件和高能探测器组件之间未设置其他器件,是为了实现射线源射出的射线可以直接在未被低能探测器覆盖的高能探测器沉积,并实现在被低能探测器覆盖的高能探测器上沉积,从而实现利用两层探测器组件得到三能投影数据,以提高对材料的分辨能力。In the embodiment of the present utility model, no other devices are arranged between the low-energy detector assembly and the high-energy detector assembly, in order to realize that the radiation emitted by the ray source can be directly deposited on the high-energy detector not covered by the low-energy detector, and realize It is deposited on the high-energy detector covered by the low-energy detector, so as to realize the use of two-layer detector components to obtain three-energy projection data, so as to improve the resolution ability of materials.
作为一个示例,对于两种不同的材料A和材料B,其中材料A的衰减系数函数存在K-edge跳变,而材料B的衰减系数函数不存在K-edge跳变,但整体上与材料A的衰减系数函数相近。其中,K-edge是原子K层电子的结合能。当光子能量超过K-edge时,原子K层电子与光子作用将发生光电效应,原子的衰减系数函数将产生跳变。As an example, for two different materials A and B, there is a K-edge jump in the attenuation coefficient function of material A, but there is no K-edge jump in the attenuation coefficient function of material B, but it is generally consistent with material A The attenuation coefficient function is similar. where K-edge is the binding energy of electrons in the K-shell of an atom. When the photon energy exceeds the K-edge, the photoelectric effect will occur when the K-layer electrons of the atom interact with the photon, and the attenuation coefficient function of the atom will undergo a jump.
由于X射线能谱存在较明显的能量展宽,从双能投影数据重建出的材料A的衰减系数是材料A的衰减系数函数在X射线能谱上的一种平均,即等效衰减系数,它与重建出的材料B的等效衰减系数很接近,即无法从双能投影数据分辨材料A和材料B。Due to the obvious energy broadening of the X-ray energy spectrum, the attenuation coefficient of material A reconstructed from the dual-energy projection data is an average of the attenuation coefficient function of material A on the X-ray energy spectrum, that is, the equivalent attenuation coefficient, which It is very close to the equivalent attenuation coefficient of the reconstructed material B, that is, material A and material B cannot be distinguished from the dual-energy projection data.
本实用新型实施例提供的探测装置可以提供三能投影数据,三能投影数据可以给出三个不同能谱下的等效衰减系数,相比于双能等效衰减系数,多出一维数据用来体现K-edge跳变是否存在,从而能区分材料A和材料B,即提高了对材料的分辨能力。The detection device provided by the embodiment of the utility model can provide three-energy projection data, and the three-energy projection data can provide equivalent attenuation coefficients under three different energy spectra. Compared with the dual-energy equivalent attenuation coefficient, there is more one-dimensional data It is used to reflect whether the K-edge jump exists, so that material A and material B can be distinguished, that is, the ability to distinguish materials is improved.
在本实用新型的实施例中,将低能探测器组件32设置于靠近射线源2的一侧,而未将高能探测器组件31设置于靠近射线源2的一侧,是为了实现射线源发出的射线可以穿透低能探测器组件,从而进入被低能探测器覆盖的高能探测器,进而得到具有第二能量响应的投影数据。In the embodiment of the present utility model, the low-energy detector assembly 32 is arranged on the side close to the radiation source 2, and the high-energy detector assembly 31 is not arranged on the side close to the radiation source 2, in order to realize the radiation emitted by the radiation source. The rays can penetrate the low-energy detector assembly, thereby entering the high-energy detector covered by the low-energy detector, and then obtain projection data with a second energy response.
若将高能探测器组件31设置于靠近射线源2的一侧,而将低能探测器组件32设置于远离射线源2的一侧,则无法获取三能投影数据。一般地,高能探测器的厚度较大,因此射线中的全部光子将在高能探测器中全部沉积。若将高能探测器组件31设置于靠近射线源2的一侧,则会导致被高能探测器覆盖的低能探测器中没有光子射入,从而只能获取双能投影数据。If the high-energy detector assembly 31 is arranged on the side close to the radiation source 2 and the low-energy detector assembly 32 is arranged on the side away from the radiation source 2, the three-energy projection data cannot be obtained. Generally, the thickness of the high-energy detector is relatively large, so all photons in the ray will all be deposited in the high-energy detector. If the high-energy detector assembly 31 is arranged on the side close to the ray source 2, no photons will enter the low-energy detector covered by the high-energy detector, so only dual-energy projection data can be obtained.
高能探测器中的探测晶体一般较厚,因此设置于远离射线源2一侧的高能探测器组件可以完全吸收射线源发射的X射线光子,因此本实用新型实施例中的探测装置的探测效率高、图像噪声较小且穿透力强。The detection crystal in the high-energy detector is generally thicker, so the high-energy detector assembly arranged on the side away from the ray source 2 can completely absorb the X-ray photons emitted by the ray source, so the detection efficiency of the detection device in the embodiment of the present invention is high. , The image noise is small and the penetrating power is strong.
在本实用新型的实施例中,被低能探测器覆盖的高能探测器具有第二能量响应,而未被低能探测器覆盖的高能探测器具有第三能量响应。为了进一步提高被检查物体的图像质量,以及提高高能探测器组件中具有第三能量响应的投影数据的均匀性和准确性,可对高能探测器组件中的高能探测单元进行标定或校准。In an embodiment of the invention, the high energy detectors covered by the low energy detectors have a second energy response, and the high energy detectors not covered by the low energy detectors have a third energy response. In order to further improve the image quality of the inspected object and improve the uniformity and accuracy of the projection data with the third energy response in the high-energy detector assembly, the high-energy detection unit in the high-energy detector assembly can be calibrated or calibrated.
作为一个示例,首先获取未被低能探测器覆盖时,高能探测器中多个高能探测单元分别输出的第一数据;然后将低能探测器覆盖在高能探测器上,以获取被低能探测器覆盖时,高能探测器中的多个高能探测单元分别输出的第二数据,以及和低能探测器中多个低能探测单元分别输出的第三数据。然后,根据多个第一数据、多个第二数据和多个第三数据,建立第一数据与第二数据和第三数据的关系。As an example, first obtain the first data respectively output by multiple high-energy detection units in the high-energy detector when it is not covered by the low-energy detector; then cover the low-energy detector on the high-energy detector to obtain , the second data respectively output by the multiple high-energy detection units in the high-energy detector, and the third data respectively output by the multiple low-energy detection units in the low-energy detector. Then, according to the plurality of first data, the plurality of second data and the plurality of third data, the relationship between the first data and the second data and the third data is established.
作为一个具体示例,以第一数据作为自变量,第二数据和第三数据作为因变量,建立第一数据与第二数据、第三数据之间的关系,从而求取当利用第二数据和第三数据加权求和估计第一数据时,第二数据所对应的权重和第三数据所对应的权重。As a specific example, the first data is used as an independent variable, the second data and the third data are used as dependent variables, and the relationship between the first data, the second data, and the third data is established, so as to find out when the second data and the third data are used. When the third data is weighted and summed to estimate the first data, the weight corresponding to the second data and the weight corresponding to the third data.
对于探测装置中,被低能探测器覆盖的高能探测器中的每个高能探测单元,根据预先标定的第二数据的权重和第三数据的权重,将覆盖高能探测单元的低能探测单元的第三数据和该高能探测单元的第二数据进行加权求和,估计出被低能探测器覆盖的高能探测器中每个高能探测单元,在未被低能探测器覆盖时的估计投影数据。For each high-energy detection unit in the high-energy detector covered by the low-energy detector in the detection device, according to the weight of the pre-calibrated second data and the weight of the third data, it will cover the third part of the low-energy detection unit of the high-energy detection unit The data and the second data of the high-energy detection unit are weighted and summed to estimate the estimated projection data of each high-energy detection unit in the high-energy detector covered by the low-energy detector when it is not covered by the low-energy detector.
然后,将被低能探测器覆盖的高能探测器中每个高能探测单元所对应的估计投影数据,与其他未被低能探测器覆盖的高能探测器中的高能探测单元输出的投影数据相结合,从而构成只具有第三能量响应的高能探测器的投影数据,进而给出被检查物体的单能三维重建结果。Then, the estimated projection data corresponding to each high-energy detection unit in the high-energy detector covered by the low-energy detector is combined with the projection data output by the high-energy detection unit in the other high-energy detectors not covered by the low-energy detector, so that Constitute the projection data of the high-energy detector with only the third energy response, and then give the single-energy three-dimensional reconstruction result of the inspected object.
通过提高高能探测器组件中高能探测器输出数据的一致性,可以得到被检查物体的更多数据,提高了数据的均匀性和图像质量,从而进一步提高对材料的分辨率。By improving the consistency of the output data of the high-energy detector in the high-energy detector assembly, more data of the inspected object can be obtained, and the uniformity of the data and the image quality are improved, thereby further improving the resolution of the material.
