Abstract

The invention relates to a reconstruction and numerical value calibration method for a medical dual-energy computed-tomography (CT) electron density image. Reconstruction and numerical value calibration are carried out on a medical dual-energy-CT (DECT) electron density image according to a basal principle of base-material-decomposition DECT imaging as well as a linear relationship between combination of X-ray linear attenuation coefficients at a high energy level and a low energy level and a theoretical electron density value. When the method provided by the invention is applied to the tumor radiation therapy field for clinical application, the precision of target region positioning and accuracy of exposure dose calculation of a radiation therapy planning system can be improved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a reconstruction and numerical calibration method of a medical dual-energy CT electron density image, belonging to the technical field of medical dual-energy CT. Background technique [0002] Radiotherapy (Radiation Therapy) is a local treatment method that uses radiation to treat tumors, and is one of the main means of treating malignant tumors. Among them, the electron density image reconstruction and numerical calibration of the human tissue in the lesion are directly related to the accuracy of the target positioning and the accuracy of the radiation dose calculation of the Radiation Therapy Planning System. Therefore, modern tumor radiotherapy needs to measure the electron density and distribution of human tissue in the lesion. At present, CT (Computed Tomography; computerized tomography) scan phantom is widely used clinically to obtain the electron density and distribution of human tissue in lesion. That is, make a phant...
