Abstract

The invention discloses a time measurement method and device which are applied to an FPGA. An input clock is converted to N sub clocks, and the period of each sub clock is M, wherein the quotient obtained by dividing M with N is the smallest counting unit for time measurement; the phase difference between every two adjacent sub clocks is adjusted to be L, wherein L is the quotient obtained by dividing 360 degrees with N; when timing is started, the number of the smallest counting units which the sub clocks pass through is recorded; when occurrence of a preset event is detected the total number of the smallest counting units which the sub clocks pass through is recorded to calculate the occur moment of the preset event, and the smallest time unit of the occur moment is the smallest counting unit. Therefore, through the method that the input clock of an FPGA chip is adjusted to form a plurality of sub clocks with the same period and the phase difference between every two adjacent sub clocks is correspondingly adjusted, the smallest counting unit of the FPGA can be increased, and the technical effect that the time measurement precision of a PET system is improved is achieved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of computers, in particular to a time measuring method and device. Background technique [0002] PET (Positron Emission Tomograph, Positron Emission Tomography) is a computed tomography device based on the positron annihilation radiation generated during the decay of radionuclides injected into the body and in accordance with the detection principle. PET imaging is a "nuclide tracer imaging technology". PET imaging first needs to inject biotracer drugs synthesized by radionuclides that can release positrons in the patient's body, and then conduct further analysis by detecting the location of the annihilation reaction of radionuclides. [0003] The specific annihilation process is that biotracers are usually proton-rich nuclides that generate positrons during their decay. The positrons emitted by the radionuclides injected into the body will combine with the negative electrons in the human body to produce annihilatio...
