Abstract

The invention discloses a computed tomography data correcting method. The method includes the steps that a reference object is scanned, and first detector response corresponding to the first focal position is obtained; the target object is scanned, and second detector response corresponding to the second focal position is obtained; a correction table is inquired, third detector response corresponding to the first focal position and fourth detector response corresponding to the second focal position are determined, and the correction table comprises the corresponding relation between differentfocal positions and detection response; based on the third detector response and the fourth detector response, the first detector response is corrected; imaging data corresponding to the target objectis obtained based on the first detector response and the second detector response obtained after correction. By correcting computed tomography data, image artifacts caused by focal position offset are reduced or eliminated, and imaging quality is improved.

Description

【Technical Field】 [0001] The present application relates to the field of imaging, and in particular to a method for tracking the focus position in a computed tomography (CT) equipment and a method for correcting the deviation of the focus position. 【Background technique】 [0002] In the process of computed tomography (CT), the X-ray tube is affected by the surrounding environment and other factors, which will cause the focus position of the X-ray beam to change. For example, due to the accumulation of heat, the X-ray tube rotation axis thermally expands, resulting in the focus position Offset affects imaging. Moreover, due to environmental changes, air correction is required during CT imaging. The focus position of the air correction and the patient scan may not be the same position, resulting in artifacts in the reconstructed image. Therefore, there is a need for a method of tracking the X-ray focus position to reduce or eliminate the impact on imaging. [Content of the invent...
