像を断層像として再構成するものである。(b) As is well known, in the prior art emission CT device, a radiation detector is positioned around the subject on one tomographic plane of the subject, and radiation is emitted from radioactive isotopes contained in the subject. The radiation is incident on the radiation detector through a collimator to obtain data on the number of incident radiation, and this data is processed by a computer to reconstruct the radioisotope concentration distribution image in the tomographic plane of the object as a tomographic image. It is something to do.

るように振れることになる。A so-called ring type emission CT apparatus is constructed as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2. In FIG. 1, a large number of radiation detectors l are arranged and fixed in a ring shape, and a rotating ring-shaped collimator 2 is placed inside the detector.
A subject 3 is placed inside this collimator 2. Second
As shown in the figure, a large number of sets of radiation detectors 1 and ring-shaped collimators 2 are arranged in three layers in a direction perpendicular to the tomographic plane of the subject 3. Each of these ring-shaped collimators 2 is arranged so that the direction of collimation faces different tomographic planes in the plane perpendicular to the tomographic plane (parallel to the plane of the paper in Fig. 2). For example, as shown in FIG. 1, the directions of the radiation transmitting holes are determined so that the directions differ slightly within the plane (parallel to the plane). When the direction of the radiation transmission hole is determined as shown in FIG. 1, if the ring-shaped collimator 2 is rotated 180 degrees,
When looking at each of the many radiation detectors l, the direction of the incident radiation swings so as to cover the entire subject 3 within one tomographic plane.

る。This ring-shaped collimator 2 is rotationally driven by an appropriate rotational drive mechanism (not shown). Necessary data is collected by rotating the ring collimator 2 by 180 degrees, and since there are three layers in this case, tomographic images in three different tomographic planes are reconstructed.

A parallel plate-like collimator 2 and a radiation detector l are arranged in a straight line on each side of a square surrounding the subject 3, so that the collimator 2 and the radiation detector l rotate around the subject 3 as a unit. The necessary data can be collected by rotating each layer four times.

いるタイプのものもある。In addition, instead of using a ring-shaped collimator 2 that is integrated into a ring-shaped structure and rotates as a whole as shown in Fig. 1, the entire ring-shaped collimator 2 is fixed so that the direction of each radiation transmitting hole can swing. There is also a type that uses a collimator configured to swing each of a number of radiation shielding thin plates.

価が困難であるという欠点がある。By the way, in these emission CT devices, the data collected is related to radiation emitted from radioactive elements inside the subject 3, transmitted through the internal tissues of the subject 3, reaching the body surface, and exiting the body. It is affected by absorption of radiation by body tissues before it reaches the body surface. Therefore, there is a drawback that quantitative evaluation of the obtained tomographic image is difficult.

1に入射する。(E) Embodiment FIGS. 4 and 5 show an embodiment in which the present invention is applied to the emission CT apparatus shown in FIGS. 1 and 2. In FIGS. 4 and 5, a collimator 5, which is made separately, is used instead of the collimator 2 (see FIGS. 1 and 2) for obtaining a concentration distribution image of radioactive isotopes within the subject 3. A lead shield 4 containing a radiation source 7 is placed inside the ring of the radiation detector 1. The lead shield 4 and collimator 5 are held by a frame 6 so as to rotate together. The lead shield 4 is used to prevent radiation from the radiation source 7 from traveling in directions other than the collimator 5. Radiation emitted from the radiation source q passes through the subject 3, passes through the collimator 5, and enters the radiation detector 1.

の、3つの断層面について得られる。Since the radiation detector l provides an output corresponding to the amount of attenuation of radiation by the subject 3, data regarding radiation absorption in the subject 3 is detected from the radiation detector l. By rotating the frame 6, data from all directions is collected, and by image reconstruction processing of this data by a computer, a distribution image of radiation absorption coefficients can be obtained, similar to the third generation CT apparatus. This distribution image is the same as the tomographic plane from which the radioisotope concentration distribution image is to be obtained.

The lead shield 4 containing the radiation 1IA7 and the collimator 5 are removed along with the frame 6, and a normal collimator 2 is installed in their place as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2. The collimator 2 is then rotated to collect data. Since this data is influenced by radiation absorption within the body of the subject 3 as described above, it is corrected using the radiation absorption coefficient distribution data described above to remove that influence. In this way, it is possible to obtain a tomographic image of the radioisotope concentration distribution with high precision in a fixed manner, in which the influence of radiation absorption within the body of the subject 3 is removed.

It should be noted that since the images are the same tomographic plane, correction data related to the object to be corrected can be obtained, and correction can be performed with extremely high precision in accordance with the actual object 3.

By this rotation, data regarding the distribution of the radiation absorption coefficient of the subject 3 is obtained, and data regarding the concentration distribution image of radioactive isotopes within the subject 3 is corrected using this data. In this case as well, since the tomographic planes from which both data are collected are the same tomographic plane of the same subject 3, as in the embodiment described in section 2 above, accurate correction can be performed.
