Abstract

The invention discloses an X-ray computerized tomography system and an X-ray computerized tomography method. The system comprises an X-ray tube, a collimator, a detector, a computing assembly and an adjusting assembly, and is used for shooting a plurality of circular sections of an object to be detected in the scanning direction, wherein the detector comprises a plurality of detector channels; the X-ray tube, the collimator and the detector rotate synchronously around the object to be detected; the collimator is a collimator with an adjustable opening; the computing assembly is used for computing the opening width of the collimator needed for irradiating each circular section respectively, and transmitting the opening width to the adjusting assembly; and the adjusting assembly is used for adjusting the opening of the collimator according to the opening width. The invention further discloses the X-ray computerized tomography method. Due to the adoption of the system and the method, extra exposure of the surrounding area of the objected to be detected can be reduced, and the X-ray dosage received by a patient can be reduced.

Description

technical field

[0001] The invention relates to the field of medical imaging, in particular to an X-ray computed tomography system and method. Background technique

[0002] In X-ray computed tomography (CT) system, dose characteristic is a very important performance index. Keeping the scanning dose as low as possible has become a general rule in the development of current CT systems. In a CT system, the field of measurement (FOM) is defined as the cross-sectional area where the object to be inspected gets full radiation when the X-ray tube rotates 360 degrees in a single rotation scan, which determines the direct detection of the object to be inspected. The scan dose applied and the size of the X-ray irradiated area.

[0003] At present, most CT systems use a fixed circular FOM and a phi collimator with a constant opening (that is, a fan beam collimator) to scan the object to be inspected, where the phi plane is the plane where the cross-section of the human body is locate...
