Definitions
- the present disclosure relates to the field of imaging technology, and in particular to an X-ray phase contrast imaging method for rapid imaging with a large field of view.
- the decrease in the real part ⁇ corresponds to phase modulation
- the imaginary part ⁇ corresponds to absorption.
- the falling speed of ⁇ is much greater than that of ⁇ .
- X-ray grating phase contrast imaging due to its larger imaging field of view and better compatibility with conventional light sources, is considered to be a phase contrast that is likely to be used in clinical medical imaging.
- Imaging method X-ray grating phase-contrast imaging has undergone two important developments. From 2002 to 2003, the X-ray Talbot interferometer was proposed [1-2] . Grating phase-contrast imaging was extended from visible light to X-ray, but it was still limited to synchrotron radiation sources. Or micro-focus light source. In 2006, the Talbot-Lau interferometer was proposed [3] , which greatly reduced the coherence requirements of the light source, making phase contrast imaging suitable for conventional X-ray sources, and providing basic conditions for the practical application of phase contrast imaging.
- the projected image obtained by grating phase contrast imaging includes the absorption, refraction and scattering of the object.
- the most commonly used information separation method at the laboratory stage is the phase stepping method [4] . This method requires at least three background images and three object images to complete the information separation. The background and object image, and then use Fourier analysis method to obtain the object's refraction information.
- the phase stepping method can obtain high-quality images, but requires longer data acquisition time and more projected images. Compared with traditional absorption imaging, it not only increases the complexity of data collection, but also has the greater disadvantage of prolonging the exposure time and the object being exposed to high doses.
- researcher Zhu Peiping from the Institute of High Energy Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences proposed a fast and low-dose phase contrast imaging method [5] .
- This method utilizes the conjugate characteristics of the front and back projections, successfully avoids the complex step movement of the grating in the traditional information recovery method, greatly improves the imaging speed, reduces the radiation dose, and realizes the phase contrast CT imaging compatible with the traditional CT scanning mode .
- this method is based on the assumption of linear approximation of the waist position of the displacement curve, so the phase stepping curve of all pixels in the field of view is required to be synchronized, which increases the uniformity of the grating; the existing grating technology can only produce a small area that meets the front and back projection method. Grating, so the front and back projection method can only image small objects.
- an X-ray phase contrast imaging method including: acquiring a background image and forming a background displacement curve; calculating a characteristic physical quantity of the background displacement curve; selecting an optimized stepping position according to the characteristic physical quantity , Collecting the forward image and the reverse image of the object based on the optimized stepping position; completing X-ray phase contrast imaging according to the forward image and the reverse image, the optimized stepping position and the characteristic physical quantity .
- FIG. 1 is a flowchart of an X-ray phase contrast imaging method according to an embodiment of the disclosure.
- Figures 2A-2I are the background images from the first step to the ninth step, respectively.
- 3A-3C are schematic diagrams of average light intensity, visibility, and initial phase, respectively.
- Fig. 4A is a forward image of an object
- Fig. 4B is a reverse image of an object
- Fig. 4C is a refraction image of an object obtained by a phase stepping method
- Fig. 4D is a refraction image of an object obtained by an X-ray phase contrast imaging method according to an embodiment of the disclosure
- Figure 4E is a comparison chart of refraction angle profile.
- An embodiment of the present disclosure provides an X-ray phase contrast imaging method for rapid imaging with a large field of view.
- This method uses an X-ray phase contrast imaging device for imaging.
- the X-ray phase contrast imaging device includes: X-ray tube, source grating, beam splitting grating, analysis grating, X-ray detector.
- X-ray tubes are used to generate X-rays.
- the source grating is used for light splitting, dividing the large focus beam generated by the X-ray tube into narrow line light sources.
- the beam splitting grating is used to generate self-imaging fringes at the analysis grating.
- the analysis grating is used to generate moiré fringes with the self-imaging fringes of the beam splitting grating to amplify the changing information.
- X-ray detectors are used to record the generated images.
- the X-ray phase contrast imaging device may also include: an optical precision stage, a sample stage, an optical platform, and a control computer.
- the source grating, beam splitting grating, and analysis grating are all mounted on the optical platform through an optical precision translation stage.
- the X-ray phase contrast imaging method includes:
- Step S101 collecting a background image and forming a background displacement curve.
- the grating is controlled to step at equal intervals in the direction perpendicular to its grating line.
- the number of steps of the grating is preferably 5-9 steps; each step of the grating further collects a background image.
- the background image includes an image equal to the number of steps, and the asynchrony of each pixel of the background image forms a displacement curve.
- FIGs 2A-2I there are 9 background images from the first step to the ninth step. After the background image is collected, move the raster back to its original position. Analyze the light intensity information of the background image to obtain the background displacement curve.
- the traditional front and back projection method is based on an accurate background displacement curve, and the background image needs to be collected densely, and then the displacement curve is obtained by curve fitting.
- the object image is collected at the half waist position, so the data collection is relatively complicated.
- the X-ray phase contrast imaging method of the embodiment of the present disclosure does not need to collect background images densely, and only needs to collect background images equal to the number of grating steps, usually 5-9 frames, so the amount of data collection is small and relatively simple .
- Step S102 Calculate the characteristic physical quantity of the background displacement curve.
- the characteristic physical quantities include: average light intensity, visibility, and initial phase.
- the front and back projection method needs to calculate the slope of the waist of the background displacement curve of each pixel, which involves fitting and differential calculation, which not only requires a large amount of calculation, but also has low calculation accuracy.
- the characteristic physical quantity of the background displacement curve is calculated by the Fourier analysis method without calculating the slope of the displacement curve. This process can be calculated in parallel, which simplifies the calculation process and speeds up the calculation.
- I b (x, y) is the gray value of the background image
- a (x, y) is the average light intensity of the background displacement curve
- V 0 (x, y) is the visibility of the background displacement curve
- x g is the relative displacement of the grating
- P 2 is the period of the analysis grating
- three characteristic physical quantities of the average light intensity, visibility, and initial phase of the background displacement curve can be calculated based on the collected background image.
- step S103 an optimized step position is selected according to the characteristic physical quantity of the background displacement curve, and a forward image and a reverse image of the object are collected based on the optimized step position.
- the object When the object is imaged, it can be at any position of the background displacement curve. In order to optimize the imaging performance, the arbitrary position is usually selected closer to the waist position of the displacement curve. After the relative position of the grating (including the beam splitting grating and the analysis grating) is fixed at a position closer to the waist of the displacement curve, a circle of object images is collected to complete the phase contrast imaging.
- the optimal step position is optimized
- the third step position is selected as the optimized step position. Place the object in the optimized stepping position, and collect the forward and reverse images of the object, as shown in Figure 4A and Figure 4B, respectively.
- step S104 the X-ray phase contrast imaging is completed according to the forward image and the reverse image, the optimized step position and the characteristic physical quantity.
- This embodiment is based on the cosine function model of the background displacement curve, using the three characteristic physical quantities of the background displacement curve, the optimized step position, and the forward and reverse images of the object represented by the following two formulas, to further obtain the phase and absorption information of the object.
- I s (x, y, ⁇ ) and I s (-x, y, ⁇ + ⁇ ) are the forward and reverse images of the object respectively
- M(x, y, ⁇ ) and ⁇ (x, y, ⁇ ) are respectively Is the absorption signal and refraction signal of the object
- d is the distance between the beam splitting grating and the analysis grating.
- F the ratio of forward and reverse image projections, namely as well as
- a (x, y) and B (x, y) are respectively defined as the cosine and sine of the object imaging step amplitude.
- C(x, y) is the front projection light intensity of the object imaging step position added to the object refraction signal
- D(x, y) is the back projection light intensity of the object imaging step position added to the object refraction signal.
