Problems solved by technology

Although this method makes full use of the low-variance nature of the quasi-random sequence, the variance of the Monte Carlo simulation integration algorithm is minimized, and the amount of calculation is greatly reduced. The distance between random points is so close that the variance of multiple scattering diverges and the integral does not converge

Abstract

The present invention provides a renormalization method for X-ray multiple scattering simulation, comprising the following steps: a) generating a low-difference sequence with a length of m in [0,1]3n space, where n is the number of scattering times and is greater than 1 A positive integer of , m is the number of samples; b) a scatter point sequence matching the geometry of the motif is generated by performing isomorphic mapping transformation on the low-difference sequence; c) each detector grid is mapped by the scatter point sequence The points form m photon paths; d) renormalize each photon path of the m photon paths; e) determine that the photons reach the detector through n times of scattering along a photon path after the renormalization process The probability density of the grid points; f) obtaining the scattering intensity on each detector grid point according to the probability density of the photons scattered by n times along each photon path after the renormalization process. The method provided by the invention can improve the simulation efficiency of multiple scattering, and eliminate the error caused by discontinuity in the boundary of the phantom.

Description

【Technical field】 [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of medical image processing, in particular to a renormalization method for X-ray multiple scattering simulation. 【technical background】 [0002] Numerical simulation of scattering based on geometric model is the basis of X-ray scattering correction technology. The complex distribution of scattered radiation in diagnostic radiology is commonly studied by performing Monte Carlo simulations on voxelized object models obtained from reconstructed CT images for the purpose of scatter correction for X-rays. [0003] In the existing Monte Carlo X-ray scattering simulation, a series of pseudo-random numbers or quasi-random sequences are generally used to determine the exit fan angle, opening angle and projection depth of the photons, and track the arrival of each beam of photons at the grid point of the detector. probability and integrated to obtain the X-ray scattering distribution. CRFD as described in the lite...
