Description

双能辐射平板探测器、制备方法及探测系统Dual-energy radiation flat panel detector, preparation method and detection system 技术领域technical field
本发明涉及X射线探测技术领域，特别是涉及一种双能辐射平板探测器、制备方法及一种探测系统。The invention relates to the technical field of X-ray detection, in particular to a dual-energy radiation flat panel detector, a preparation method and a detection system.
背景技术Background technique
平板数字X射线探测器通常应用于医疗辐射成像、工业检测及安检等领域。一条完整的辐射影像链主要包括以下部件：射线源、待测物体、辐射探测器、机架以及后端显示系统。其中，射线源与辐射探测器是影像链中的两大核心部件，对成像品质起着至关重要的作用，同时也决定了成像系统能否满足某些特定场景使用的需求。比如，在晶体结构分析领域，需要使用单色的射线源，如同步辐射光源产生的射线或者金属靶材的特征射线，利用探测器来探测衍射后的射线，而后利用布拉格衍射原理来分析待测材料的晶体结构。而在医学成像及工业检测等领域，所用射线源发出的射线并非是单色的，而是像太阳光谱一样的连续广谱射线。Flat-panel digital X-ray detectors are usually used in medical radiation imaging, industrial inspection and security inspection. A complete radiation image chain mainly includes the following components: radiation source, object to be measured, radiation detector, rack and back-end display system. Among them, the radiation source and the radiation detector are the two core components in the imaging chain, which play a crucial role in the imaging quality, and also determine whether the imaging system can meet the needs of certain specific scenarios. For example, in the field of crystal structure analysis, it is necessary to use a monochromatic ray source, such as the ray generated by the synchrotron radiation source or the characteristic ray of the metal target, use the detector to detect the diffracted ray, and then use the Bragg diffraction principle to analyze the to-be-measured ray. The crystal structure of the material. In the fields of medical imaging and industrial inspection, the rays emitted by the used ray sources are not monochromatic, but continuous broad-spectrum rays like the solar spectrum.
由于不同的物质对射线的衰减能力不一，该射线穿过某一物体之后，其能谱信息会产生相应的变化。通过分析这一变化即可以分析出待测物体的物质成分。受光子计数速率及其计数准确性的限制，测量高光子流密度的射线能谱十分困难。此外，能谱仪的成本很高，甚至会高于常用的辐射或平板探测器。目前，业内广泛使用双能辐射探测器来分析待测物体中物质的密度与组分差异。比如，双能线阵安检机将X射线透视技术与双能量技术结合，可以分析出行李内物质的密度和原子序数，进而可以提高危险品的检出率。双能量减影技术可以选择性地去除骨骼或者身体内软组织的衰减信息，获得“骨肉分离”的诊断图像，提高对疾病的检出率和诊断准确度。这一技术在Digital Radiography(数字化X射线摄影)以及Dual Energy CT(双能CT)中均有应用。Since different substances have different attenuation capabilities to rays, after the rays pass through an object, the energy spectrum information will change accordingly. By analyzing this change, the material composition of the object to be tested can be analyzed. Limited by the photon counting rate and its counting accuracy, it is very difficult to measure the ray energy spectrum of high photon flux density. In addition, spectrometers are expensive, even higher than commonly used radiation or flat panel detectors. At present, dual-energy radiation detectors are widely used in the industry to analyze the density and composition differences of substances in the object to be measured. For example, the dual-energy linear array security inspection machine combines X-ray fluoroscopy technology with dual-energy technology to analyze the density and atomic number of substances in luggage, thereby improving the detection rate of dangerous goods. The dual-energy subtraction technology can selectively remove the attenuation information of bones or soft tissues in the body, obtain a diagnostic image of "separation of bone and flesh", and improve the detection rate and diagnostic accuracy of diseases. This technology is used in Digital Radiography (digital X-ray photography) and Dual Energy CT (dual energy CT).
传统的双能辐射探测器由两套探测系统组成，射线首先穿过第一薄层的闪烁体，其中低能段的X光子被第一薄层闪烁体吸收转化成可见光光子，生成的可见光光子随后被第一层光电传感阵列探测到，并给出一幅低能图像；高能段射线穿过第一薄层闪烁体和第一层光电传感阵列之后，入射到第二层闪烁体，被转化成可见光光子后被第二层光电传感阵列探测到，形成一幅高能图像，具体可以参考公开号为CN101937095B及CN111198397A的专利申请中记载的方案内容。The traditional dual-energy radiation detector consists of two sets of detection systems. The rays first pass through the scintillator of the first thin layer, and the X photons in the low energy band are absorbed by the first thin layer of scintillator and converted into visible light photons, and the generated visible light photons are subsequently It is detected by the first layer of photoelectric sensing array and gives a low-energy image; after the high-energy radiation passes through the first thin layer of scintillator and the first layer of photoelectric sensor array, it enters the second layer of scintillator and is converted The visible light photons are detected by the second-layer photoelectric sensing array to form a high-energy image. For details, please refer to the solutions described in the patent applications with publication numbers CN101937095B and CN111198397A.
这种采用两套探测系统的双能辐射探测器无疑大大增加了探测器系统的成本，且导致探 测器系统结构复杂、体积庞大。此外，上下两套探测器的对位精度也会给数据分析造成很大的影响，对位不准往往会导致测量偏差，进而导致成像质量下降。This dual-energy radiation detector using two sets of detection systems will undoubtedly greatly increase the cost of the detector system, and cause the detector system to be complicated in structure and bulky. In addition, the alignment accuracy of the upper and lower sets of detectors will also have a great impact on data analysis, and inaccurate alignment will often lead to measurement deviations, which in turn lead to reduced imaging quality.
发明内容SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

所述光电传感器阵列层12的具体结构可以参考图2所示，第一感光像素121和第二感光像素122均包括TFT薄膜晶体管和光电二极管128，TFT晶体管具体包括栅极123、有源层124、源极电极125和漏极电极126，每一感光像素的光电二极管128可与对应的TFT薄膜晶体管的漏极相连接，TFT薄膜晶体管上方设置有遮光层127，用于遮挡闪烁体发出的光对TFT活性层的影响,TFT薄膜晶体管和遮光层127之间通过绝缘材料层相间隔。由于TFT薄膜晶体管和光电二极管的结构和原理为本领域技术人员所熟知，对此不做详细展开，重要的是相邻的感光像素具有不同的感光方向。The specific structure of the photosensor array layer 12 can be referred to as shown in FIG. 2 , the first photosensitive pixel 121 and the second photosensitive pixel 122 both include TFT thin film transistors and photodiodes 128 , and the TFT transistors specifically include gate electrodes 123 and active layers 124 , source electrode 125 and drain electrode 126, the photodiode 128 of each photosensitive pixel can be connected to the drain electrode of the corresponding TFT thin film transistor, and a light shielding layer 127 is arranged above the TFT thin film transistor to block the light emitted by the scintillator Influence on the TFT active layer, the TFT thin film transistor and the light shielding layer 127 are spaced apart by an insulating material layer. Since the structures and principles of the TFT thin film transistor and the photodiode are well known to those skilled in the art, this will not be described in detail. It is important that adjacent photosensitive pixels have different photosensitive directions.
为进一步提高成像质量，如图3所示，所述第一感光像素121及第二感光像素122呈多行多列交替阵列排布而呈棋盘结构分布，低能和高能像素中缺失的像素灰度值可以用与其共 边的周围4个像素(由虚线框标记的部分)的均值来代替，由单次曝光所得的一张图可以转化成一张低能图和一张高能图。In order to further improve the imaging quality, as shown in FIG. 3 , the first photosensitive pixels 121 and the second photosensitive pixels 122 are arranged in an alternating array of multiple rows and columns and are distributed in a checkerboard structure, and the pixel grayscales missing in the low-energy and high-energy pixels are The value can be replaced by the mean of the surrounding 4 pixels (the part marked by the dotted box) that are co-edged with it, and one image from a single exposure can be transformed into a low-energy image and a high-energy image.

The bulk layer 15 has a relatively large thickness to sufficiently absorb high-energy X-rays.
所述射线滤过层14不仅可以滤除掉部分低能射线，同时可以减小第二闪烁体层15出射可见光的发散角，提高高能图像的分辨率，故而所述射线滤过层14的材料选择很重要。较佳地，所述射线滤过层14的材料可以为光纤面板(Fiber Optic Plates，简称FOP)，具有传光效率高、级间耦合损失小、传像清晰、真实、在光学上具有零厚度等优点。The ray filter layer 14 can not only filter out some low-energy rays, but also can reduce the divergence angle of the visible light emitted by the second scintillator layer 15 and improve the resolution of high-energy images. Therefore, the material of the ray filter layer 14 is selected. Very important. Preferably, the material of the ray filtering layer 14 can be an optical fiber panel (Fiber Optic Plates, FOP for short), which has the advantages of high light transmission efficiency, small inter-stage coupling loss, clear and real image transmission, and optically zero thickness. Etc.
作为示例，所述透明衬底13包括PI(Polyimide，聚酰亚胺)材料层、超薄玻璃和PET(Polyethylene terephthalate，聚酯)材料层中的一种或多种的结合，其厚度可以为10μm～20μm。As an example, the transparent substrate 13 includes a combination of one or more of a PI (Polyimide, polyimide) material layer, an ultra-thin glass, and a PET (Polyethylene terephthalate, polyester) material layer, and its thickness may be 10μm～20μm.
