Description

A kind of method and device thereof that utilizes multipotency X ray compound-projection numeral compound imaging
Technical field
The present invention relates to digital X-ray image compound imaging application, relate in particular to a kind of synthetic method of multipotency X ray compound-projection digital image and device of utilizing.
Background technology
Because digital X-ray line photography (DR-Digital Radiography) has the following advantages with respect to film X-ray line photography: improve medical diagnosis on disease efficient and the radiation dose that reduces patient; And do not have environmental pollution, need not use film with and relevant chemical raw material.On overall, digital X-ray line photography is technical digital implementation and the digital image processing techniques utilized at traditional projection X-ray line photography.Digital X-ray line photography as a kind of be that it is made up of three parts usually: first is an X-ray source at projection X-ray line photography, comprise X-ray tube and relevant high voltage control circuit.Second portion is the X-line receiver, and two kinds of receive modes are arranged usually, and a kind of is that CCD (Charged-Coupled Devices) receives, and another kind is that quasiconductor dull and stereotyped (Flat Panel Detectors) receives.CCD (Charged-Coupled Devices) receptor at first converts the X-ray to visible light through a change-over panel (CsI) with it, and these visible lights just can be focused the CCD chip surface then, and absorb by it.The CCD chip is made up of one group of isolating semiconductor silicon integrating circuit or unit, and for example: the CCD chip of a 2.5x2.5cm can contain 1024x1024 circuit unit.To produce electronics after visible light is absorbed by the CCD chip surface and be stored on each unit, the power of light and electron number are directly proportional.These electronics can be read with the pattern of row output then.For the giant-screen receptor, need a point-device optical focusing lens that it is projected to the less CCD surface of relative area.Contain on the dull and stereotyped receptor of the quasiconductor surface and much independently accept the unit.Each unit can convert the X-ray of its acceptance to the signal of telecommunication, then these signals of telecommunication will be read with the mode of serial level and vertical line.The CCD receptor is relatively lower with the dull and stereotyped receptor cost of quasiconductor, but owing to it contains an optical focusing system, so its image resolution ratio and signal to noise ratio are lower, and volume is bigger.Third part is that data image signal is handled and pictorial display.For traditional film roentgenograph X art, digital X-ray line photography imaging has bigger dynamic indication range, and DR can make full use of the modern computer image processing techniques simultaneously, to realize best diagnosis effect.System is the basis with digital X-ray line photography, constantly develops the application technology that renewal in recent years: dual energy photography (Dual-energyRadiography), digital fault plane synthetic technology (Digital Tomosynthesis) or the like.Through these new The Application of Technology, make medical clinic applications more accurate.
The dual energy photography has been widely used in the angiography of X ray fluorescent screen.Because special electronics constraint efficiency should; The X ray absorption spectra of x-ray imaging agent material (like iodine, barium etc.) some energy section (~33keV) X-ray absorption coefficient of sudden change arranged, but the X-ray absorption coefficient of the tissue of human body does not have such sudden change in this energy section.The characteristics of utilizing these different X ray to absorb, we can produce two frame radioscopic images, and a frame is to be produced by the relative low-energy X-ray before the absorptance sudden change, and another frame then is to be produced by the relative high-energy X ray after the absorptance sudden change.Then this two frame of digital image is carried out weighted linear combination, just can get the radioscopic image that only contains contrast agent material.If contrast agent material only is contained in the blood of some blood vessel, we just can utilize it to diagnose the physiological function of blood vessel and near organ thereof.
Also have a kind of mode to be: in digital X-ray line photography imaging process, because different property (effective atomic number of soft tissue: Z=7.6, the effective atomic number of osseous tissue: Z=13) of the effective atomic number of interior soft tissue of human body and osseous tissue.(~50kVp) section, the X-gamma ray absorption coefficient is directly relevant with atomic number Z: with Z^3 proportional (mainly being photoelectric effect) low-yield.(~120kVp) section, X-gamma ray absorption coefficient and atomic number Z be pass (mainly being Compton effect) not and at high-energy.Be similar to double energy X-ray fluorescent screen angiography, we can produce two two field pictures, a frame be by low-yield relatively X-ray produce (~50kVp), another frame then be by relative high-energy X-ray produce (~120kVp).Then this two two field picture is carried out weighted linear combination, just can only be contained two frame radioscopic images of soft tissue (like the lung organ) or skeletal tissue's (like thoracic bone).
Although the dual energy method obtains in single projection imaging and should have, like X ray fluorescent screen angiography, it is also not accomplished in other imaging system, as aspect the digital fault plane compound imaging (DigitalTomosynthesis)." digital fault plane compound imaging " is a kind of new formation method.This technology and method will improve " contrast resolution " of image effectively, thereby can diagnose out the minor variations of the structure of matter effectively." fault plane compound imaging " is based on to blur and focusing on the projected image of fault plane with external structure, and the technology of preserving the projected image of the structure on the focusing surface.Up to the present, digital fault plane synthetic technology only utilizes the method for single energy to realize, and this technology is mainly used in the breast imaging system.Roundel is positioned at the focusing surface top, and square thing is arranged in focusing surface, and delta is positioned at the focusing surface below.When we with x-ray source when leftward position A moves to right positions B, the picture of X ray projection " A " and " B " also will change.In projection image " A ", the picture of left, middle and right is respectively " delta ", " square thing " and " roundel ".And in projection image " B ", the picture of left, middle and right is respectively " roundel ", " square thing " and " delta ".
Provided the image of these two projections, and the image of these two projections has been carried out simple linear, additive.We can see from the image of addition: being projected in the image after synthetic of roundel and delta, to be blured owing to be distributed in the left and right sides, and being projected in the image after synthetic of square thing is positioned at same position all the time and is retained.
The fault plane that the continuous development of Along with computer technology in recent years, traditional fault plane synthetic technology have been further expanded to numeral synthesizes.Adopt similar notion, when we move to position " B " with X-ray source from left-most position " A ", when " C " and " D " (right-most position), X ray projection imaging " A ", " B ", " C " and " D " also will change.We look like this four picture group to carry out translation and simple linear combination in various degree, just can obtain four new two field pictures.Every two field picture will keep the projection of the structure of certain specific fault plane, and blurs the projection of the structure of other aspect.Like this, finally we will obtain the image of the projection of a series of fault plane structures.These images can be used to clinical diagnosis these fault plane structure and characteristics thereof.The fault plane synthetic technology can make us see the structure that can't see in traditional projection imaging.
Because these advanced digital X-ray photography systems continue to bring out with technology, make that doctors can diagnose out the early stage pathological changes of patient more exactly clinically.Advantages such as these advanced digital X-ray photography systems compare with traditional CT simultaneously, can also keep relative less cost, and are easy to use, and X-radiation dosage is low.This patent invention will further develop these new techniques, with the fault plane formation method of the single energy that has the digital X-ray photography now and fault plane method for imaging and the equipment that equipment further develops multipotency.
