为了使本发明的目的、 技术方案和优点更加清楚, 下面结合附图对本发明 具体实施例作进一步的详细描述。 可以理解的是, 此处所描述的具体实施例仅 仅用于解释本发明, 而非对本发明的限定。 另外还需要说明的是, 为了便于描 述, 附图中仅示出了与本发明相关的部分而非全部内容。 在图 1中示出了一种 CT扫描投影的特性示意图。其中, 图 1中示出了第三 代扇束扫描模式下的 CT机。 该三代 CT包括射线源 110和探测器阵列 120, 其 中,射线源 110的发射信号具有一定的张角, 典型的张角角度范围为, 30〜45 ° , 探测器阵列 120设置于射线源 110发射信号覆盖的扇形角之内,探测器阵列 120 中包括多个探测器单元, 每一个探测器单元为一探测器像素点。 在扫描时, 射 线源 110和探测器阵列 120同步的围绕着被测物体 130的轴心进行旋转。
理论上, 射线源 110 的焦点与投影旋转中心的连线 (中心射线) 应该垂直 于探测器阵列 120, 也即图 1 中的 Y轴位置, 但是实际上此三者难以完全精确 调节一致, 因此, 中心射线往往与 Y轴位置存在一定的偏移, 例如在图 1中, 射线源 110发生了一定的偏移, 因此, 中心射线 140与 Y轴偏移了 角的。 此 时, 如果以 Y轴为中心射线重建图像, 会存在伪影。
通过对 CT的投影过程进行分析可知, 当通过 CT对待测物体进行扫描时, 在进行投影数据全周采集(射线源 110旋转 360° 进行扫描)过程中, 投影信息 是冗余的, 每一条投影路径, 均有两条射线从正反方向通过, 因此, 全周扫描 原始数据中, 在不考虑噪声的前提下, 总存在两个完全相同的投影数据。 其中, 只有中心射线 140对应的投影路径, 其正反两组数据均出现在同一个探测器像 素点 150上, 其他投影路径对应的正反两组数据点, 需根据几何关系确定其出 现的探测器像素点以及相应的旋转角度差。 而且, 对于中心射线 140, 此两组相 同的数据是以 180度为界, 重复出现的。 因此, 通过对不同旋转角度下, 同一 探测器像素点的投影数据进行数据处理后, 获取其中相关度最高的探测器像素 点 150, 即可确定待测 CT的投影旋转中心。 第一实施例
图 2是本发明第一实施例的一种 CT投影旋转中心确定方法的流程图,本实 施例的方法可以由 CT投影旋转中心确定装置来执行, 该装置可通过硬件和 /或 软件的方式实现,一般可集成于 CT机内部。本实施例的方法具体包括如下步骤: 步骤 110、按照预定的递增步长^ 使用待测 CT对被测物体进行旋转扫描, 获取不同旋转角度下, 各探测器像素点的投影值 p( , ); 其中, n, 和 N均 为整数, we[0,N], N>^, me[\,M], M为探测器像素点的总个数, M为大于
Θ
1的整数。
在本实施例中,待测 CT的中央处理器控制待测 CT,按照预定的递增步长^ 对被测物体进行旋转扫描。
其中,按照预定的递增步长^使用待测 CT对被测物体进行旋转扫描包括: 待测 CT的射线源按照预定的递增步长 旋转, 放置被测物体的旋转台固定 不动, 使用待测 CT对被测物体进行旋转扫描; 或者
放置被测物体的旋转台按照预定的递增步长 旋转, 待测 CT的射线源固定 不动, 使用待测 CT对被测物体进行旋转扫描。
其中, 递增步长 可以根据实际情况进行设定, 作为示例而非限定, 可以将 设定为 0.05° ,0.1° 或者 0.2° 等。 在本实施例中, 可以使用待测 CT对被测物体进行全周扫描(N = ^), 或
Θ 者不完全全周扫描 (^<N<^)。 当然, 本领域技术人员可以理解, N也可 以为大于 ^的整数, 对此并不限定。
Θ 在本实施例中,不同旋转角度下,各探测器像素点的投影值构成一个矩阵 P,

其中, 矩阵 Ρ的行向量代表同一旋转角度下, Μ个探测器像素点对应的 Μ 水投影值; 矩阵 Ρ的列向量代表 N 个不同的旋转角度下, 同一个探测器像素点
Figure imgf000010_0003
步骤 120、 获取探测器像素点 在所述不同旋转角度下的各投影值, 将所述 各投影值分为第一序列 ^(^)和第二序列 ^ ^+ 1 80 , 其中, έ为整数,
Figure imgf000010_0004
在本实施例中,待测 CT的中央处理器获取各探测器像素点在所述不同旋转 角度下的各投影值, 并将对应于每一个探测器像素点的所有投影值, 以 180° 为 界, 分为第一序列和第二序列。
其中, 第一序列与第二序列中包括的数据个数相同。
在本实施例中, 中央处理器获取矩阵 Ρ中的每一列, 根据不同的旋转角度, 将 Ρ的每一列数据进一步分为第一序列和第二序列。
步骤 130、 分别计算各探测器像素点中的第一序列 ^(^)和第二序列 ^(^+180")之间的互相关系数, 组成互相关系数序列 ?( )。
在本实施例中, 计算各探测器像素点的第一序列 (^)和第二序列 (^+180")之间的互相关系数具体包括:
依次获取一个探测器像素点中的第一序列 pm,和第二序列 ^ ^ + 18(0; 对序列 p l^和序列 ^(^ + 180'·)做互相关运算, 得到相应的互相关序列; 获取所述互相关序列中的最大值作为该探测器像素点的互相关系数。
步骤 140、遍历所述互相关系数序列 ?( ),査找与 序列中的最大值相对 应的探测器像素点, 作为中心像素点。
在本实施例中, 互相关序列 ?( )为探测器像素点 的函数, 通过遍历 ?( ), 査找其中的最大值对应的探测器像素点, 即为中心像素点。
步骤 150、根据所述中心像素点的位置,确定所述待测 CT的投影旋转中心。 在本实施例中, 将待测 CT在旋转角度为 0° 时, 中心像素点所在的位置, 作为该待测 CT的投影旋转中心。
本发明实施例通过使用待测 CT对被测物体进行旋转扫描,获取不同旋转角 度下, 探测器阵列中各探测单元的投影值, 对同一探测单元在不同旋转角度下 的投影值, 以 180° 为界分为两组序列, 分别计算各探测单元中的上述两组序列 的互相关系数, 得到互相关系数序列, 遍历上述互相关系数序列, 査找与序列 中的最大值相对应的探测单元, 作为中心探测单元, 进而确定投影旋转中心的 技术手段, 解决了测量校正方法需要使用专用模型, 计算繁琐以及对称关系法 限制条件较多, 无法精准测量的技术问题, 无需使用专用模型, 仅通过直接扫 描被测物体, 并对采集的原始数据进行简单的运算, 即可快速而精确的确定待 测 CT的投影旋转中心。
在上述技术方案的基础上, 所述方法还包括:根据所述待测 CT的投影旋转 中心的确定结果,对所述待测 CT的各探测器像素点的原始投影值进行校准, 根 据校准后的投影数据, 生成相应的重建图像。 在本实施例的一个优选的实施方式中, 待测 CT为使用平移-旋转方式扫描 并且仅包括一个探测器单元的第一代 CT机。在每一个旋转角度下, 射线源与对 应的探测器单元按照平移的方式, 对待测物体进行扫描。 每一个旋转角度对应 的平移位置为 M个。则, 每个旋转角度下对应的 M个探测器像素点的投影值为 该探测器单元在 M个平移位置下的 M个投影值。
在本实施例的一个优选的实施方式中, 待测 CT为使用平移-旋转方式扫描 并且仅包括个探测器单元的第二代 CT机, 其中, i为大于 1的整数。在每一个 旋转角度下, 射线源与对应的 探测器单元按照平移的方式, 对待测物体进行扫 描。每一个旋转角度对应的平移位置为 ·个,其中, J-为大于 1的整数。 i *j = M。 则, 每个旋转角度下对应的 M个探测器像素点的投影值为该 /个探测器单元在 j 个平移位置下的 M个投影值。
在本实施例的一个优选的实施方式中, 待测 CT为使用旋转-旋转方式扫描 的包括 M个探测器单元的第三代-第五代 CT机。 则, 每个旋转角度下对应的 M 个探测器像素点的投影值为该 M个探测器单元在相应的旋转角度下的 M个投影 值。 第二实施例
在上述实施例的基础上, 在本实施例中, 采用第三代等距扇束 CT作为待测 CTo射线源系统的高压发生器为德国 Yxlon (依科视朗)出品, 型号为 MGG40, X光管为 Philips (飞利浦) 公司生产, 型号为 Y-TU/100-D01 ; 探测器为安邦世 (北京) 科技公司出品的等距阵列, 型号为 LSC-412 , 闪烁体材料为 GOS (Gadolinium Oxysulfide, 硫氧化礼), 探测器阵列共有 1536个探测器单元, 也 即 1536个探测器像素点, 像素点尺寸为 0.3*0.6mm, 像素间距为 0.4mm。 本实 验采用的 X射线工作电压为 100kVp, 电流为 2.2mA, 步进电机驱动载物台, 旋 转 360° 进行采样, 采样角度的递增步长为 0. Γ 。 被测物体采用多孔有机玻璃 模型。重建算法采用标准的 FBP (Filtered Back-Projection,滤波反向投影)算法, 使用 mmp (斜坡) 滤波器。 所有重建结果均未经图像后处理, 因此可有效反应 投影旋转中心确定的真实情况。
按照 0. Γ 的递增步长, 使用上述待测 CT对被测物体进行旋转扫描, 获取 不同旋转角度下, 各探测器像素点的投影值 p(^, ) ; 其中, n, 和 N均为整 数, 《e [0,3600], m e [1,1536] , 采集得到的未经过对数运算的全周扫描的原始投影 数据正弦图, 如图 3所示。
获取探测器像素点 在所述不同旋转角度下的各投影值, 将所述各投影值 分为第一序列 ?m(W)和第二序列 m(^ + 180"), 其中, έ为整数, A e [0,1800]。
分别计算各探测器像素点中的第一序列 Pmm和第二序列 ^„ ^+18(Π之间 的互相关系数, 组成互相关系数序列 ?( ), 图 4 中示出了计算得到的互相关系 数序列图。 在本实施例中, 对互相关系数序列 做了相应的归一化处理。
对互相关系数序列 ?( )进行遍历求极大值, 在 m=801号探测器像素点上, 产 生互相关系数的极大值, ?(801) = 0.9787。 由图 4可以看出, 中心射线的互相关系 数显著高于周围像素点, 因此, 可以确定投影旋转中心对应的中心像素为 801 号像素, 该像素与探测器的物理中心像素 1536/2=768偏移了 33个像素点。
未经投影旋转中心校正的重建图像如图 5 所示, 可以看出, 重建图像中出 现了明显的伪影。 使用 801 号像素进行投影旋转中心校正后的重建图像如图 6 所示, 可以看出: 由于投影旋转中心得到了精确的校正, 伪影得到了消除, 重 建图像的质量得到极大提升。 第三实施例
一般来说, 对待测 CT做全周扫描会产生过多的冗余信息, 因此, 可以根据 实际情况或者经验值对待测 CT做不完全全周扫描。
在与实施例二选择完全相同的待测 CT的基础上, 本实施例进行 210° 旋转 采样, 采样的递增步长为 0.Γ 。 被测物体采用多孔有机玻璃模型。 重建算法采 用标准的 FBP算法, 使用 ramp滤波器。所有重建结果均未经图像后处理, 因此 可有效反映投影旋转中心确定的真实情况。
按照 0.Γ 的递增步长, 使用上述待测 CT对被测物体进行旋转扫描, 获取 不同旋转角度下, 各探测器像素点的投影值 其中, n, 和 N均为整 数, 《e [0, 2100], m e [1,1536] , 采集得到的未经过对数运算的不完全全周扫描的原 始投影数据正弦图, 如图 7所示。
获取探测器像素点 在所述不同旋转角度下的各投影值, 将所述各投影值 分为第一序列 ?m(W)和第二序列 m(^ + 18(T), 其中, έ为整数, e [0,300]。
分别计算各探测器像素点中的第一序列 pmm和第二序列 ^(^+18(0之间 的互相关系数, 组成互相关系数序列 ?( ), 图 8 中示出了计算得到的互相关系 数序列图。 在本实施例中, 对互相关系数序列 做了相应的归一化处理。
对互相关系数序列 ?( )进行遍历求极大值, 在 m=801号探测器像素点上, 产 生互相关系数的极大值, ?(801) = 0.9787。 由图 8可以看出, 中心射线的互相关系 数显著高于周围像素点, 因此, 可以确定投影旋转中心对应的中心像素为 801 号像素, 该像素与探测器的物理中心像素 1536/2=768偏移了 33个像素点。
可以看出, 设定合适的最大旋转角度后, 不完全全周扫描可以与全周扫描 得到相同的投影旋转中心, 可以理解的是, 最大旋转角度选择的越大, 计算得 到的投影旋转中心也就越准, 但是测量冗余量也就越大 t
应当说明的是, 本发明并不限于对圆盘模型的¾ :有效, 本发明还可以用 于其它 CT无损检测领域中, 这是本领域普通技术人员容易理解的。 图 9为本发明第四实施例的一种 CT旋转中心确定装置的结构图。如图 9所 示, 所述装置包括:
