[0038] Combination Figure 1 As shown, the embodiment of the present disclosure provides an image acquisition method for a C-arm X-ray device. The execution subject of the image acquisition method may be a processor. The image acquisition method includes:

[0039] S001, the processor determines the target direction where the scanning field of view needs to be increased at the target rack position according to the area to be scanned.

[0040] S002: The processor determines a target motion trajectory of the rack based on the target direction, the contour of the area to be scanned, and the scanning field of view of the rack.

[0041] S003, the processor performs exposure acquisition according to the target motion trajectory to obtain acquisition data.

[0042] Among them, under the target motion trajectory, the scanning field of view of the rack covers the area to be scanned.

[0043] In the disclosed embodiment, after determining the target direction that needs to increase the scanning field of view under the target gantry position, the target motion trajectory of the gantry can be determined based on the target direction and the contour of the area to be scanned, as well as the scanning field of view of the gantry. Finally, exposure acquisition is performed according to the target motion trajectory, which can increase the scanning field of view, thereby obtaining acquisition data of a larger scanning area during the image acquisition process, providing more accurate three-dimensional reconstruction results, making the reconstructed image more realistic and detailed, and obtaining a complete scan image of the organ part. In addition, a wider field of view and a more continuous image sequence can provide richer diagnostic information, helping to more accurately identify vascular structure, lesion location, and the relationship between blood vessels and lesions. By acquiring a wider field of view at one time, the need for multiple scans and splicing is reduced, which may reduce the operation time and the radiation dose to which the patient and the doctor are exposed.

[0044] Optionally, determining a target direction in which the scanning field of view needs to be increased under the target gantry position according to the area to be scanned includes: determining an organ protocol and a target acquisition mode under the organ protocol according to the area to be scanned; determining a target gantry position under the target acquisition mode; and determining a target direction in which the scanning field of view needs to be increased according to the contour of the area to be scanned.

[0045] In this embodiment, the area to be scanned and the corresponding organ protocol are determined according to the different surgical sites of the patient. Figure 2 As shown, in the display interface of the C-arm X-ray device, after confirming the organ protocol, select the required target acquisition mode, and then in the target acquisition mode, determine the target acquisition position, that is, the target gantry position, and the target direction that needs to increase the scanning field of view under the target gantry position. Among them, the target acquisition mode includes a large field of view rotation acquisition mode, the target acquisition position includes the front position, the left position and the right position, the target direction includes none, horizontal and vertical, the horizontal direction is the width direction of the area to be scanned, and the vertical direction is the length direction of the area to be scanned, and the length direction is also the feed direction of the scanning bed. Figure 3 As shown in FIG. 1 , it is a schematic diagram of the gantry acquisition direction of the C-arm X-ray device when the target acquisition position is the anteroposterior position. The anteroposterior acquisition position and the lateral acquisition position are the relative positions of the C-arm of the gantry. Figure 3 is the positive acquisition position of the rack, then Figure 3 Based on the rack position, the rack rotates 90 degrees along the A axis into or out of the paper, which is the side acquisition position. Rotating 90 degrees into the paper can be defined as the right acquisition position, and rotating 90 degrees out of the paper can be defined as the left acquisition position. The C-arm is a support arm that carries the detector and the radiation source. The rack of the C-arm X-ray device is equipped with a detector and a radiation source. Figure 4 As shown, it is a schematic diagram of the position of the detector and the radiation source relative to the machine tool when the target direction is the length direction of the area to be scanned. Figure 5 The figure shows a schematic diagram of the positions of the detector and the radiation source relative to the machine tool when the target direction is the width direction of the area to be scanned.

[0046] Optionally, the target gantry position includes one of an anteroposterior acquisition position and a lateral acquisition position, wherein the anteroposterior acquisition position is where the C-arm of the gantry is located at one end of the scanning bed, and the lateral acquisition position is where the C-arm of the gantry is located at one side of the scanning bed.

[0047] Optionally, the target direction includes a width direction of the area to be scanned, and based on the target direction and the outline of the area to be scanned, and the scanning field of view of the rack, determining a target motion trajectory of the rack includes: determining a first motion trajectory of the rack based on the target direction and the width of the outline of the area to be scanned in the target direction, and the scanning field of view of the rack; the first motion trajectory is to move a detector of the rack from a first scanning position of the area to be scanned along the target direction to a second scanning position; according to the target rack position and the physical limit of the rack and the coverage angle range, determining a second motion trajectory of the rack at the first scanning position and the second scanning position respectively; the second motion trajectory of each scanning position is to rotate the detector of the rack from the first scanning angle to the second scanning angle.

[0048] In this embodiment, taking the target direction as the width direction of the area to be scanned as an example, according to the target direction and the width of the outline of the area to be scanned in the target direction, and the scanning field of view of the gantry, the positions to be scanned on the left and right sides of the patient, i.e., the first scanning position and the second scanning position, are first determined, and according to the organ position of the patient and the fatness or thinness of the patient, the first motion trajectory of the gantry is determined. Figure 6 As shown, the target direction is the width direction of the patient's body, with 45 degrees to the left of the patient's body as the starting position and 45 degrees to the right of the patient's body as the ending position. The horizontal movement of the rack from the starting position to the ending position will scan the horizontal area centered on the patient's body. Then, according to the target rack position, the physical limit of the rack, and the coverage angle range, the second motion trajectory of the rack at the first scanning position and the second scanning position can be determined respectively, so that the detector of the rack rotates from the first scanning angle to the second scanning angle, so that the rack can collect continuous spatial image information to ensure that more image information can be collected in the horizontal direction and the rotation direction. In this embodiment, the first motion trajectory and the second motion trajectory can form an elliptical shape.

[0049] Optionally, the target direction includes a width direction of the area to be scanned, and based on the target direction and the contour of the area to be scanned, and the scanning field of view of the rack, determining a target motion trajectory of the rack, including: determining multiple scanning center positions of the rack in the target direction based on the target direction and the width of the contour of the area to be scanned in the target direction, and the scanning field of view of the rack; determining a third motion trajectory of the rack at each scanning center position according to the target rack position, the physical limit of the rack, and the coverage angle range of each scanning center position; the third motion trajectory of each scanning center position is to rotate the detector of the rack from the third scanning angle to the fourth scanning angle.

[0050] In this embodiment, the target motion trajectory can also be determined by first determining multiple scanning center positions of the rack in the target direction according to the target direction and the width of the outline of the area to be scanned in the target direction, as well as the scanning field of view of the rack, and then determining the third motion trajectory of each scanning center position. For example, according to the width of the area to be scanned in the horizontal direction, the center position of the area to be scanned is first determined as the first scanning center position, and then the second scanning center position and the third scanning center position are determined on the left and right sides of the first scanning center position respectively. With the left scanning center position as a reference, the third scanning angle is the scanning starting position, and the fourth scanning angle is the scanning ending position, so as to achieve a certain range of scanning at the left scanning center position, for example, scanning in the range of positive 45 degrees to negative 45 degrees at the left scanning center position. Then, with the first scanning center position as a reference, combined with the rotation direction starting position and the rotation direction ending position, the corresponding third motion trajectory is determined, so as to achieve a certain range of rotation scanning, for example, scanning in the range of positive 100 degrees to negative 100 degrees at the first scanning center position. Finally, the corresponding third motion trajectory is determined with the right scanning center position as a reference and with reference to the left scanning center position, thereby realizing scanning within a certain range of the right scanning center position.

[0051] Optionally, the target direction includes a length direction of the area to be scanned, and based on the target direction and the contour of the area to be scanned, and the scanning field of view of the rack, determining a target motion trajectory of the rack, including: determining multiple scanning center positions of the rack in the target direction based on the target direction and the length of the contour of the area to be scanned in the target direction, and the scanning field of view of the rack; and determining a fourth motion trajectory of the rack at each scanning center position according to the target rack position, the physical limit of the rack, and the coverage angle range of each scanning center position, wherein the fourth motion trajectory of each scanning center position is to rotate the detector of the rack from the fourth scanning angle to the fifth scanning angle.

[0052] In this embodiment, if the target direction is the length direction of the area to be scanned, it is necessary to measure the length of the area to be scanned according to the difference in the area to be scanned, and determine the upper scanning center position and the lower scanning center position of the area to be scanned according to the center position of the area to be scanned, and then determine the fourth motion trajectory of each scanning center position by a method similar to that of determining the third motion trajectory. In this embodiment, switching between multiple scanning center positions is achieved by moving the rack.

[0053] Optionally, the target direction is the length direction of the area to be scanned, and the target motion trajectory of the rack is determined based on the target direction, the contour of the area to be scanned, and the scanning field of view of the rack, including: determining multiple bed positions of the scanning bed in the target direction based on the target direction and the length of the contour of the area to be scanned in the target direction, and the scanning field of view of the rack; and determining a fifth motion trajectory of the rack at each bed position according to the target rack position, the physical limit of the rack, and the coverage angle range of each scanning center position, wherein the fifth motion trajectory of each bed position is to rotate the detector of the rack from a sixth scanning angle to a seventh scanning angle.

[0054] In this embodiment, in addition to determining multiple scanning center positions of the gantry in the target direction, multiple bed positions of the scanning bed in the target direction can also be determined according to the target direction and the length of the contour of the area to be scanned in the target direction, as well as the scanning field of view of the gantry, and then the fifth motion trajectory of each bed position is determined. In this embodiment, switching between multiple scanning center positions is achieved by moving the bed board of the scanning bed.

[0055] Optionally, exposure acquisition is performed according to the target motion trajectory to obtain acquisition data, including determining the running speed of the rack according to the acquisition frame rate and the number of acquisition frames, as well as the target motion trajectory; according to the running speed of the rack and the target motion trajectory, the rack is controlled, and exposure is performed according to the acquisition frame rate to obtain acquisition data.

[0056] In this embodiment, the acquisition frame rate is the number of images acquired within one second, and the acquisition frame number is the number of images that need to be acquired. According to the acquisition frame rate and the acquisition frame number, the time required for acquisition can be determined, and then the motion length can be determined according to the target motion trajectory, and the running speed of the rack can be calculated. Finally, according to the running speed and the target motion trajectory, the rack is controlled to perform exposure acquisition to obtain acquisition data. The acquisition frame rate and the acquisition frame number can be automatically set according to the scanning protocol, or can be manually configured through the display interface.

[0057] Optionally, the rack is controlled according to the running speed of the rack and the target motion trajectory, and exposure is performed according to the acquisition frame rate. Before acquiring the acquisition data, the method further includes: controlling the rack according to the running speed of the rack and the target motion trajectory to perform a trajectory test.

[0058] In this embodiment, the target motion trajectory is tested to ensure that the machine tool can start and end movement at the correct position to ensure that the required scanning area can be covered. After the trajectory test is completed, the parameters represented by the target motion trajectory are sent to the controller so that the controller controls the detector to perform exposure acquisition according to the correct trajectory.

[0060] In this embodiment, the C-arm X-ray device is scanning normally, that is, there is no need to increase the scanning field of view. At this time, the starting angle, ending angle and rotation speed of the frame in the rotation direction are calculated directly according to the organ protocol, acquisition position, field of view, acquisition frame number and acquisition frequency, and all parameters are integrated and sent to the motion controller for exposure acquisition.

[0061] Optionally, the image acquisition method for a C-arm X-ray device further includes: after obtaining the acquired data, performing an image reconstruction operation on the acquired data to obtain a reconstructed image.
