Problems solved by technology

However, the imaging accuracy of objects to be measured with different thicknesses and compositions is different under different dual-energy combinations, and the fixed energy spectrum segmentation limits the dynamic range of CT imaging, making it difficult to obtain variable energy spectra under a single radiation dose. The projection data of the segment, so that the demand for multi-energy dynamic combined imaging

Abstract

The invention relates to the field of X-ray energy spectrum detection and analysis through a semiconductor detector, and provides an X-ray energy spectrum detection and reconstruction analysis methodfor dual-energy CT imaging. The method can achieve the analysis of the projection information of different energy sections for image reconstruction, can achieve the multi-energy dynamic combination imaging while reducing the radiation dosage, and enlarging the dynamic range of CT system imaging. Therefore, the method comprises the steps: Step1, defining a dynamic dual-energy window for scanning imaging; Step2: carrying out the X-ray exposure and collecting and storing photo-induced charges; Step3: carrying out the grouped accumulation of the information of the photo-induced charges in a semiconductor; Step4: solving a projection result of different types of high-low energy spectrum combinations under the condition that the primary X-ray exposure is achieved, wherein the projection result is used for imaging. The method is mainly used for the X-ray energy spectrum detection occasions.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of X-ray energy spectrum detection and analysis by semiconductor detectors, in particular to the detection and analysis of medical dual-energy energy spectrum CT (Computed Tomography, electronic computer tomography) X-ray energy spectrum. Background technique [0002] The key to accurate medical spectral CT imaging is to improve the detector's ability to distinguish X-ray photons of different energies, and to improve the accuracy of spectral analysis and calculation. Double-layer detectors and single-photon counting detectors are the two main types of X-ray energy spectrum detectors at present. The above two types of X-ray energy spectrum detectors are performed by pre-setting the effective energy window (energy spectrum segment). Scanning projection and image reconstruction of different objects are based on the attenuation information of the same energy spectrum segment. However, the imaging accuracy of objects to b...
