Description

阳极靶、射线光源、计算机断层扫描设备及成像方法 技术领域
本发明涉及射线成像技术领域，具体而言，涉及一种阳极靶、射线光源、计算机断层扫描设备及成像方法。
背景技术
X射线在工业无损检测、安全检查、医学诊断和治疗等领域具有广泛的应用。特别是，利用X射线的高穿透能力制成的X射线透视成像设备在人们日常生活的方方面面发挥着重要作用。这类设备早期的是胶片式的平面透视成像设备，目前的先进技术是数字化、多视角并且高分辨率的立体成像设备，例如CT(computed tomography，计算机断层)成像设备，可以获得高清晰度的三维立体图形或切片图像，是先进的高端应用。在现有的CT设备中，X射线发生装置需要在滑环上运动，为了提高检查速度，通常X射线发生装置的运动速度非常高，导致设备整体的可靠性和稳定性降低，此外，受运动速度的限制，CT的检查速度也受到了限制，因此检查效率较低。另外，此类设备的X射线源在滑环上运动，导致等效的X射线源焦点变大，从而使得的成像的图片存在运动伪影，清晰度差，对一些较小的违禁品存在漏检的可能性。并且此类设备只能检查静止(或者缓慢运动)的物体，对于运动的物体，几乎无法成三维立体图。
现有技术中，采用热阴极作为电子发射单元，并且对热阴极进行阵列排布，利用热阴极栅极间的电压控制电子的发射，从而控制每一个阴极按顺序发射电子，在阳极上按相应顺序位置轰击靶点，成为分布式X射线源。通过电控开关代替螺旋CT的机械旋转，可以在多个视角快速产生X射线源，从而从过个角度进行快速成像，该方法相比较以往的方法可大大的提高检查效率；提高图像的清晰度；并且该方案结构简单、系统稳定、可靠性高。但是由于现有技术中CT设备输出高能射线只能为单一能量级的射线束，不满足更多使用需求。
因此，需要一种新的阳极靶、射线光源、计算机断层扫描设备及成像方法。
在所述背景技术部分公开的上述信息仅用于加强对本发明的背景的理解，因此它可以包括不构成对本领域普通技术人员已知的现有技术的信息。

本领域技术人员可以理解，附图只是示例实施例的示意图，附图中的模块或流程并不一定是实施本发明所必须的，因此不能用于限制本发明的保护范围。
下面结合附图对本公开示例实施方式进行详细说明。
图1是现有技术中单列排布阳极靶示意图。
在现有技术中，单列排布的阳极靶如图1所示，图1给出了传统分布式X射线光源的结构，阳极靶采用无氧铜为基体，无氧铜上焊接铼钨靶作为靶材，无氧铜基体上有冷却回路为阳极靶进行冷却。电子枪在阳极靶的一边均匀排列，电子枪发射出的电子束在阳极电场的加速下向阳极漂移，最终打在铼钨靶上，产生X射线。图2是现有技术中双列排布阳极靶示意图。
如上文所述的现有技术中CT成像设备的结构，为了提高分布式光源的成像质量，通常要求分布式光源中的光源数量在几十到几百个(根据需要确定)。受阴极尺寸和阴极组件加工工艺的影响，目前阴极组件的最小直径大约在16mm左右，保留一点余量，通常按照20mm的间距排布阴极组件。在1m长的光源中能够排布50个阴极组件，一个阴极组件在阳极靶上打出一个靶点，从而产生50个光源。如果需要更多的光源数量，可以使阴极在阳极靶的两端错开排布，阴极发射的电子束打在阳极靶的两边，从而使得光源的密 集程度提高一倍。为了提高光源的密度，可以把电子枪排布在阳极靶的两端，如图2所示，该结构可以将光源的密集程度提高一倍，满足大多数场合的使用要求。
图3是根据一示例性实施例示出的一种阳极靶示意图。
基于上文所述的双列排布阳极靶，在一些实施例中，本申请的申请人发现，在有些情况中，需要成像设备能同时输出两种能量的X射线源，即提供双能分布式X射线源，以便提高X射线成像系统的分辨率。根据本发明的一方面，提出一种阳极靶10，该阳极靶包括：
第一阳极靶102，用于通过其上承载的第一电压使得由阴极发射出的电子束在第一阳极靶的靶点上产生第一射线。其中第一电压可例如为90KV的高压，阴极发射出的电子束在第一阳极靶上产生的第一射线可例如为具有第一能量级的X射线。
第二阳极靶104，用于通过其上承载的第二电压使得由阴极发射出的电子束在第二阳极靶的靶点上产生第二射线。其中，第二电压可例如为180KV的高压，阴极发射出的电子束在第二阳极靶上产生的第二射线可例如为具有第二能量级的X射线。
其中，第一电压与第二电压也可以为相同幅值的高压，本发明不以此为限。
陶瓷体106，用于隔离第一阳极靶102与第二阳极靶104。陶瓷体106包括：被金属化的陶瓷体。第一阳极靶102，第二阳极靶104与金属化的陶瓷体通过金铜焊接相连。第一阳极102靶与第二阳极靶104与金属化的陶瓷采用金铜焊接，固化为一个整体，便于安装调试。
在本公开的一种示例性实施例中，还包括：冷却油管108用于对第一阳极靶与第二阳极靶进行冷却。
屏蔽层(图中未示出)，用于对阳极靶产生的射线进行屏蔽。
在本公开的一种示例性实施例中，阴极在阳极靶的两端错开排布。
根据本发明的阳极靶，通过陶瓷隔离，将阳极靶分成两部分，两边的阳极靶可分别加上不同的高压，阳极靶两端的阴极发射出的电子束打在阳极靶的两端从而产生两种不同能量的X射线。从而产生双能的分布式X射线，进而能够提供双能分布式射线成像数据，提高射线系统的成像质量。

基于上文所述的双列排布阳极靶，根据本发明的一方面，提出一种阳极靶10，该阳极靶包括：
