Automatic exposure control method and device and automatic exposure system

Abstract

The embodiment of the invention discloses an automatic exposure control method, applied to an X-ray machine. The method comprises the following steps: sending initial tube voltage and initial tube current to a high voltage generator, so that the high voltage generator emits X rays according to the initial tube voltage and the initial tube current, and exposure begins; detecting feedback voltage generated by an ionization chamber, thus obtaining first comparison voltage; acquiring reference voltage when the first comparison voltage is greater than or equal to sampling voltage; further detectingfeedback voltage generated by the ionization chamber, thus obtaining second comparison voltage; when the second comparison voltage is greater than or equal to the reference voltage, switching off thehigh voltage generator, and thus exposure stops. Thus, the reference voltage is set according to the practical exposure process, so that the setting of the reference voltage is more reasonable, the accuracy in controlling automatic exposure is guaranteed, an exposure image with ideal gray scale is obtained, the stable and reliable quality of the exposure image is guaranteed, and therefore, the situation that the exposure is insufficient or excessive existing due to setting of the reference voltage by virtue of experience in the prior art is avoided.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of medical equipment, in particular to an automatic exposure control method and device and an automatic exposure system. Background technique [0002] In X-ray machines, the purpose of using automatic exposure control (AEC) technology is to obtain stable and reliable images. For a direct digital X-ray imaging system (DR system), under the condition of a certain X-ray quality, the imaging gray level of the flat panel detector is proportional to the X-ray input dose of the detector. In addition, the imaging gray level of the flat panel detector is also related to the magnitude of the tube voltage and the attenuation of the attenuator. Under the same condition of the thickness of the attenuator, the imaging gray level of the flat panel detector increases gradually with the increase of the tube voltage. In the case of the same tube voltage, the thicker the attenuator, the greater the attenuation, and t...
