Description
技术领域technical field
本发明涉及X射线计算机层析成像技术领域,尤其涉及一种基于横向错位光栅的X射线光栅差分相位衬度三维锥束计算机层析成像方法及装置。The invention relates to the technical field of X-ray computerized tomography, in particular to a method and device for three-dimensional cone-beam computerized tomography based on X-ray grating differential phase contrast with lateral displacement gratings.
背景技术Background technique
在X射线计算机层析成像(Computed Tomography,简称CT)系统中,X射线源发出X射线,从不同角度穿过被检测物体的某一区域,放置于射线源对面的探测器在相应角度接收。然后,根据各角度射线不同程度的衰减,利用一定的重建算法和计算机进行运算,重建出物体被扫描区域的射线线衰减系数分布映射图像,从而实现由投影重建图像,无损地再现物体在该区域内的介质密度、成分和结构形态等特征。In the X-ray computer tomography (Computed Tomography, referred to as CT) system, the X-ray source emits X-rays, which pass through a certain area of the object to be detected from different angles, and the detectors placed opposite the ray source receive them at corresponding angles. Then, according to the different degrees of attenuation of rays at various angles, a certain reconstruction algorithm and computer operations are used to reconstruct the distribution mapping image of the ray line attenuation coefficient in the scanned area of the object, so as to realize the reconstruction of the image by projection and reproduce the object in this area without loss. The characteristics of the medium density, composition and structure morphology in the medium.
传统基于X射线衰减原理的CT技术仅能获得物体内部结构的吸收衬度图像,对低原子序数材料结构样品难以获得高对比度图像。近年,相位衬度成像技术被提出来提高这些低衰减样品的成像衬度。如,袁清习等,同步辐射硬X射线衍射增强峰位成像CT研究,Chinese Physics C,vol.29.No.10,pp:1023-1026,2005,实现了一种衍射增强相衬成像方法;Pfeiffer F等,Phase retrieval differential phase-contrast imaging with low-brilliance x-ray sources,Nature Physics,vol.2,no.4,pp.258-261,2006,提出了一种基于光栅的差分相衬方法;Zanette I等,Speckle-based x-ray phase-contrast imagingusing a grating interferometer,Physical review letter,vol.112,no.25,2014,提出了一种散斑相衬成像技术。这其中,基于光栅的差分相衬方法能采用普通X光管实现,具有重大工程应用前景,得到了广泛研究。Traditional CT technology based on the principle of X-ray attenuation can only obtain absorption contrast images of the internal structure of objects, and it is difficult to obtain high-contrast images for low atomic number material structure samples. In recent years, phase-contrast imaging techniques have been proposed to improve the imaging contrast of these low-attenuation samples. For example, Yuan Qingxi et al., CT research on synchrotron radiation hard X-ray diffraction-enhanced peak position imaging, Chinese Physics C, vol.29.No.10, pp:1023-1026, 2005, realized a diffraction-enhanced phase-contrast imaging method; Pfeiffer F et al., Phase retrieval differential phase-contrast imaging with low-brilliance x-ray sources, Nature Physics, vol.2, no.4, pp.258-261, 2006, proposed a grating-based differential phase contrast method; Zanette I et al., Speckle-based x-ray phase-contrast imaging using a grating interferometer, Physical review letter, vol.112, no.25, 2014, proposed a speckle phase-contrast imaging technique. Among them, the grating-based differential phase contrast method can be realized by ordinary X-ray tubes, has great engineering application prospects, and has been extensively studied.
但现有基于光栅的差分相衬方法大都是基于吸收光栅平移步进的传统方法,成像时间长,剂量大,稳定性低,效率不高,制约了其进一步工程应用。However, most of the existing differential phase contrast methods based on gratings are traditional methods based on the translation and stepping of absorption gratings. The imaging time is long, the dose is large, the stability is low, and the efficiency is not high, which restricts its further engineering application.
目前,尚未发现基于横向错位吸收光栅的X射线光栅差分相位衬度三维锥束计算机层析成像装置。At present, no X-ray grating differential phase contrast three-dimensional cone-beam computed tomography device based on a laterally dislocated absorption grating has been found.
