Definitions
- the invention relates to a method for creating and reproducing a layer image of an object from an X-ray image, in particular when imaging X-ray radiation on a digital recording system for generating layer images, in particular panorama image images.
- the beam path starts from a radiation source, the focus, through the object to be irradiated, in which the focal plane is located, for example the upper or lower jaw areas, before the rays hit the sensor level, in which the Object is mapped.
- the distance, on the one hand, between the focal plane and the focus and, on the other hand, between the focal plane and the sensor or receiving plane results from the dimensions of the object to be irradiated and from the exposure conditions.
- the beam path from the radiation source through the focal plane into the plane receiving the radiation follows the laws of the radiation set.
- the beam of rays runs through the focal plane, which is located in the object to be imaged.
- the object has its true size, on a scale of 1: 1.
- the bundle of rays expands - now in strength and Contrast influenced by the object - further on, whereby the object of the focal plane is enlarged and thus distorted in the vertical and horizontal direction depending on the distance of the focal plane from the sensor or receiving plane.
- the object for example individual teeth or entire parts of the upper or lower jaw, are shown enlarged in the reception plane by a factor lying between 1.05 and 1.24 in the vertical direction.
- X-ray images including digital X-ray images, produce a distorted representation of the object on the imaging level.
- the vertical and horizontal distortion of individual areas of the x-ray image must be taken into account.
- the distorted areas of the x-ray image must be visually interpolated. This can lead to errors in the interpretation, especially from the spatial assignment, which is often difficult to assess.
- the object of the invention is to provide a method which provides a more evaluable image of the object in the image plane.
- the method according to the invention has a number of advantages.
- the informational value of digital X-ray images can be significantly improved with the method, since geometrical relationships can be reconciled and are excluded in the case of recalculations and uncertainty factors due to estimates.
- the magnification factor for example to the scale of 1: 1 prevailing in the object plane, an added overall picture can be generated in several layers and displayed in various representations on the screen.
- a digital image in the image plane can be recorded by a sensor with pixels producing pixels arranged in rows and columns.
- the digital image is built up while rotating a focus * around a center by reading the pixels from the sensor in columns.
- the coordinates of a defined slice position are assigned to the pixels of the recorded object. This assignment of object and layer length and / or the correction values or correction values is preferably stored in each case; this information can then be accessed again.
- the magnification factor is then advantageously corrected such that the height of each pixel for a given slice position is converted to the height that is present in the focal plane, that is, for example, the upper or lower jaw to be imaged.
- the pixels can also be converted in width for each predetermined layer position.
- the image points converted to the height of the object level that is to say the focal level, can then be displayed in the image plane in a corrected manner and, for example, made perceptible on a scale of 1: 1 in scale without distortion.
- the true-to-scale image without distortion obtained by converting the pixels can then be processed in a variety of ways.
- An overall image is advantageously calculated from all the converted layer positions, which can in particular be designed such that the object is imaged in the corrected image in the size in which it is present in the focal plane.
- the method is particularly advantageous if pixels with different distances are generated and / or are present in a layer layer of the X-ray image, so that different depths of field can be produced within one layer layer and the different imaging scales can be taken into account.
- the basic principle for creating slice images with different depth information or depth of field is disclosed in DE 197 33 338 AI, which is expressly included here with the entire disclosure content.
- the correction method according to the invention can be used particularly advantageously in an X-ray device for recording digital X-ray recordings, in which a focus can be moved around a center along a focal curve, a sensor being located in the image plane, and an image size of the image lying in the image plane. Points for given layer positions are converted to a corrected image size of the objects in the focal curve, for which means are available in which the correction factors associated with the image points of a layer position are stored. This makes it possible to carry out the correction according to the invention as a function of the layer position.
- an X-ray device is developed in such a way that for subsequent determination of the sharp layer and / or the depth of field, the sensor consists of a large number of narrow readable zones which generate tomographic image information of high depth of field and a predetermined layer position. wherein this image information is read out individually and calculated in an image processing unit for an image with a shallow depth of field, the distance of this image from the focal plane being determinable by changing the spatial offset of the individual tomographic images with the aid of an input device acting on the image processing.
- FIG. 1 shows the beam path from the focus through the focal plane to a sensor plane
- FIG. 2a shows a complete layer layer recording
- Figure 2b is a detailed view with different sharp layers along the focal plane
- Figure 3 is a schematic evaluation unit for correcting the magnification factor.
- FIG. 1 shows the beam path starting from the focus through the focal plane onto a sensor plane.
- the schematic sketch shows that a focus 1, for example, emits an X-ray source, an X-ray beam 3.
- the beam 3 is fanned out as shown in FIG. 1 and penetrates an object 4 in a focal plane 5 which is located at the known distance h 'from the focus 1.
- the teeth of the upper and lower jaw lie in the focal plane 5 and are penetrated by the beam 3.
- the focal plane 5 can come to lie between positions I and V with changed distances h 'and h' 'if the same object is irradiated several times or other measures are taken to influence the depth of field, for example in DE 197 33 338 AI is disclosed, but can also be effected by multiple recordings.
- the objects of the focal plane 5 are instead of their true-to-scale (M 1: 1) size 9 with an enlargement factor that is in dental panoramic slices moved between 1.05 and 1.24, with the height 8 shown in the image plane 6.
- the radiation-sensitive surface (image plane 6) of the sensor 10 is arranged at the known distance h ' ⁇ from the focal plane 5.
- A denotes the distortion of the image in the vertical direction, which does not make the vertical extent of the image appear to scale.
- the sensor 10 arranged in the image plane 6 has radiation-sensitive pixels on its surface.
- the pixels are each distributed symmetrically to the center of the radiation-sensitive area.
- the radiation-sensitive surface of the sensor can have 66 and more columns extending in the vertical direction, of which each can in turn be divided into 1500 or more rows.
- a pixel can be assigned to exactly one row and one column, which means that every pixel on the surface of the sensor can be uniquely addressed.
- a complete pixel column is read out from the sensor 10, which functions, for example, as a shift register, via a signal output, while at the same time the column closest to it in the recording direction is again exposed; the x-ray image is thus produced in columns, while at the same time the layer position for which the recorded column-by-column pixel column has just been read out is stored and saved.
- the sensor 10 functions, for example, as a shift register, via a signal output, while at the same time the column closest to it in the recording direction is again exposed; the x-ray image is thus produced in columns, while at the same time the layer position for which the recorded column-by-column pixel column has just been read out is stored and saved.
- This ensures an assignment between the pixel column, sensor and associated layer position, for example in the upper or lower jaw (see FIG. 2a).
- a complete layer position recording with stylized drawing of the sharply depicted jaw area is shown, referred to as the layer thickness course 26.
- each layer position shown here by lines 18. 18.1 denotes a layer position that lies in the molar region, in which the jaw is somewhat thicker. Compared to the layer layer 18.1, the layer layer 18.2 penetrating the incisor area on the upper and lower jaw is much thinner.
- the layer layers 18 each enclose the focal plane 5 and represent the areas in which the objects 4 are sharply depicted.
- the layer thickness can be thicker or thinner depending on the anatomy of the jaw, but is known when the X-ray is taken.
- the thickness of the layer layer is not least related to how large the distance h ′′ from the focal plane 5 to the sensor is. Due to the anatomy of the jaw, the distance h 'between focus 1 and the object 4 lying in focal plane 5 changes during the recording of the x-ray image. This also changes the distance h''between object 4 and the image receiving plane 6 during the recording of the x-ray image. The distance h '' is small in the molar area, but significantly larger in the anterior area. In Fig. 2b different sharp layers I to V are represented by the object 4, each of the focal correspond to level 5 with a corresponding offset in the direction of the layer layer 18.
- depth information is obtained, which is corrected in size each time the transition from a sharp layer I to the next sharp layer II, etc., so that despite the beam expansion, there is always a comparative sectional image of the object 4 of the same size, each with a different sharp layer.
- FIG. 3 shows an evaluation sequence which is used to correct the magnification factor in the X-ray image.
- the beam 3, 7 strikes the pixels of the sensor, which feeds the image data obtained column by column to an A / D converter 19 for digitization.
- the analog image data for each illuminated pixel are digitized and fed to a memory 20.
- each pixel / pixel can be addressed with its coordinates x, y in a memory unit 22, the
- all irradiated slice layers 18 are stored during the x-ray exposure, which can now be linked, for example, pixel-by-column, to the corrected heights 9 of the pixels.
- an image 25 can be constructed, which can be output in object size on a scale of 1: 1.
- the digitized x-ray recordings are reconstructed in the computing unit 24, whereby different magnification factors can also be taken into account by determining the pixel height 9 for each pixel column along the focal plane. All of the layer layers 18 converted to the scale of 1: 1 can be added to form an overall image and can also be subtracted from this if necessary.
- the layer layers 18 can also be converted into any other scales.
- the image information present in columns with the associated magnification factors can thus be corrected so that both an X-ray image on a scale of 1: 1 and an X-ray image image 25 deliberately distorted in width and / or height are produced.
- the converted layers 18 can be displayed on a monitor in various ways, including one Output on a printer or on another medium is conceivable.
- the focal parameters of the digitized image can also be assigned and prepared for film recordings which have been converted into digital form, depending on the application purpose of the user.
