Abstract

An embodiment of the invention discloses an X-ray source array and an X-ray computed tomography system and method. The X-ray source array comprises a plurality of individually packaged cold cathode X-ray source bulb tubes, and the arrangement track of each cold cathode X-ray source bulb tube is arc-shaped. The X-ray computed tomography system comprises the X-ray source array and a detector, and the center of a circle of the arrangement track of the X-ray source array is positioned on the detector, so that the distances from the cold cathode X-ray source bulb tubes at different arrangement positions in the X-ray source array to the surface of the detector are the same. Besides, according to the X-ray computed tomography method, the tube current of the cold cathode X-ray source bulb tube isconsistent, and the dosage of different-angle X-ray sources to a target object tends to be consistent.

Description

technical field [0001] Embodiments of the present invention relate to the field of X-ray scanning imaging, and in particular to an X-ray source array, an X-ray tomography system and method. Background technique [0002] The cold cathode X-ray source has the characteristics of low power consumption, easy integration, and high time resolution. Multiple cold cathode X-ray sources integrated in the X-ray source array can generate X-ray focal spots at different positions. The way of point pulse exposure realizes the movement of the focal point, so that the projection images of different angles can be obtained without moving the X-ray source, and static tomographic imaging can be realized. [0003] The existing X-ray source array adopts an overall packaging method, and each cold-cathode X-ray source is placed linearly in a special vacuum chamber, and an external vacuum pump is required to maintain the vacuum environment in the chamber. However, the distances from the X-ray source...
