Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present application relates to the field of X-ray imaging technology, and in particular to an X-ray source dose distribution testing method and system. Background Art
[0002] X-rays are electromagnetic waves with extremely high frequencies, short wavelengths, and high energy. Besides their medical applications, X-rays are also commonly used for non-destructive testing in the industrial sector, such as in high-tech industries like electronics and semiconductors, lithium-ion batteries, and new energy, as well as in other areas such as pan-industrial non-destructive testing, public safety, and foreign body detection.
[0003] The radiation generated by an X-ray source is usually expressed in terms of dose values, which are generally symmetrically normally distributed in space from the center point to the surrounding areas. The projection surface at the same distance from the radiation source target is circular or elliptical, with the dose value at the center of the circle being the largest and gradually decreasing from the center to the surrounding areas until it is the smallest. Therefore, in applications in the field of X-ray imaging, due to the overall uneven distribution of X-ray dose values, the final imaging requires dose value calibration to ensure image quality. In applications with high image requirements, such as medical CT or industrial CT, multiple detection devices are generally placed at equal intervals in the direction of the radiation generated by the radiation source, and the multiple detection devices are used to measure the dose value of each point in the direction of the radiation in real time.

[0079] Figure 3 This is a flow chart of a method for testing X-ray source dose distribution according to an exemplary embodiment. Figure 1 The computer device 1 in the X-ray source dose distribution test system shown in the figure is executed. The system also includes a dose tester, an xOy rotary lifting platform and a yOz rotary telescopic arm; the dose tester is fixed to the end of the upper arm of the yOz rotary telescopic arm, as shown in FIG. Figure 3 As shown, the method may include the following steps:
[0080] S301: Acquire the target point position of the target ray source.
[0081] In one possible embodiment, when measuring the dose value of the target ray source, the target position of the target ray source is first determined according to the computer equipment, so as to adjust the position of the xOy rotating lifting platform according to the target position of the target ray source. When the center point of the xOy rotating lifting platform coincides with the target position of the target ray source, the emitting device of the target ray source is placed on the center point of the xOy rotating lifting platform, and the target ray source is turned on to perform the measurement operation.
[0082] S302: Adjust the position of the xOy rotating lifting platform so that the center point of the xOy rotating lifting platform coincides with the target point position of the target ray source.
[0083] In one possible embodiment, after obtaining the target position of the target ray source, it is necessary to first align the center point of the xOy rotating lifting platform with the target position of the target ray source, that is, according to the target position of the target ray source, the position of the xOy rotating lifting platform is raised and lowered so that the center point of the xOy rotating lifting platform coincides with the target point of the target ray source (the target point of the target ray source is located on the center point of the xOy rotating lifting platform).
[0084] S303: Adjust the position of the yOz rotating telescopic arm so that the distance between the dose tester and the target position of the target ray source is the same as the target measurement distance.
[0085] In one possible embodiment, after the center point of the xOy rotating lifting platform is aligned with the target point of the target ray source, since the target point of the target ray source is at the same distance, its projection surface is circular or elliptical, and the dose value at the target point position (center of the circle) of the target ray source is the largest, and the dose value from the center of the circle to the surrounding areas gradually decays until it is minimum. To measure the dose value in the direction of emitting rays from the center of the circle to the surrounding areas, it is necessary to first determine the target measurement distance from the center of the circle, and adjust the height of the dose tester from the target point of the target ray source through the xOy rotating lifting platform so that the height of the dose tester from the target point of the target ray source is the same as the target measurement distance, thereby enabling the dose tester to measure the dose value of each measurement point at the target measurement distance from the center of the circle.
[0086] Furthermore, the target measurement distance may be preset.
[0087] S304: Obtain a first target rotation angle of the xOy rotary lifting platform and a second target rotation angle of the yOz rotary telescopic arm.
[0088] In a possible embodiment, since the projection surface of the target point of the target ray source is circular or elliptical under the condition of the same distance, the projection surface of the target point of the target ray source is circular or elliptical under the condition of the target measurement distance from the center of the circle, that is, what needs to be measured are the various measurement points on the surface of the sphere with the target position of the target ray source as the center of the circle and the target measurement distance as the radius. When the dose value of the target measurement point in any direction on the surface of the sphere is to be measured, the first target rotation angle of the xOy rotating lifting platform and the second target rotation angle of the yOz rotating telescopic arm are determined, and the position of the target measurement point in space is obtained to adjust the angle of the xOy rotating lifting platform and the yOz rotating telescopic arm.
[0089] S305 : Acquire a target spatial position of a measurement point according to the first target rotation angle and the second target rotation angle; the measurement point and the target position of the target ray source are separated by the target measurement distance.
[0090] In a possible embodiment, since the coordinates of the target measurement point in space are three-dimensional, the first target rotation angle is the rotation angle of the xOy rotary lifting platform on the xy plane, and the second target rotation angle is the rotation angle of the yOz rotary telescopic arm on the yz plane. Therefore, the target spatial position of the target measurement point can be determined based on the rotation angle on the xy plane and the rotation angle on the yz plane.
[0091] S306. Adjust the xOy rotary lifting platform according to the first target rotation angle, and adjust the yOz rotary telescopic arm according to the second target rotation angle, so as to measure the X-ray dose value at the measuring point at the target spatial position through the dose tester.
[0092] In one possible embodiment, after obtaining the target spatial position of the target measurement point, the xOy rotary lifting platform is rotated by a first target rotation angle, and the yOz rotary telescopic arm is rotated by a second target rotation angle, so that the dose tester on the upper arm of the yOz rotary telescopic arm and the target measurement point at the target spatial position are adjusted to the same position, thereby enabling the dose tester to measure the X-ray dose value of the target measurement point at the target spatial position.
[0093] Similarly, by obtaining the target spatial position of each measurement point on the surface of a sphere with the target position of the target ray source as the center and the target measurement distance as the radius, the X-ray dose value of each measurement point can be measured. When it is necessary to measure the X-ray dose value of the measurement point at other distances from the target position of the target ray source, it is only necessary to adjust the target measurement distance.
[0094] To sum up, the target position of the target ray source is first obtained, and the position of the xOy rotating lifting platform is adjusted so that the center point of the xOy rotating lifting platform coincides with the target position of the target ray source; the position of the yOz rotating telescopic arm is then adjusted so that the distance between the dose tester and the target position of the target ray source is the same as the target measurement distance; then the first target rotation angle of the xOy rotating lifting platform and the second target rotation angle of the yOz rotating telescopic arm are obtained, and the target spatial position of the measuring point is obtained according to the first target rotation angle and the second target rotation angle; finally, the xOy rotating lifting platform is adjusted according to the first target rotation angle, and the yOz rotating telescopic arm is adjusted according to the second target rotation angle, so that the X-ray dose value of the measuring point at the target spatial position is measured by the dose tester. The above scheme only requires one dose tester to complete all the testing work of the X-ray dose value, which is efficient and can effectively solve the shortcomings of poor traditional measurement positioning accuracy, complex system, and long measurement time, and can adapt to ray sources of different sizes to automatically complete spatial dose measurement.
[0095] Figure 4 This is a flow chart of a method for testing X-ray source dose distribution according to an exemplary embodiment. Figure 1 The computer device 1 in the X-ray source dose distribution test system shown in the figure is executed. The system also includes a dose tester, an xOy rotary lifting platform and a yOz rotary telescopic arm; the dose tester is fixed to the end of the upper arm of the yOz rotary telescopic arm, as shown in FIG. Figure 4 As shown, the method may include the following steps:
[0096] S401: Acquire the target point position of the target ray source.
[0097] S402: Adjust the position of the xOy rotating lifting platform so that the center point of the xOy rotating lifting platform coincides with the target point position of the target ray source.
[0098] In one possible implementation, by Figure 1The xOy platform lifting device 3 controls the lifting and lowering of the xOy rotary lifting platform, so that the center point of the xOy rotary lifting platform coincides with the target position of the target ray source. After the coincidence is achieved, the emitting device of the target ray source is placed on the center point of the xOy rotary lifting platform, the target ray source is turned on, and subsequent measurement operations are performed.
[0099] S403: Adjust the position of the yOz rotating telescopic arm so that the distance between the dose tester and the target position of the target ray source is the same as the target measurement distance.
[0100] In one possible embodiment, since the dose meter is arranged at the end of the upper arm of the yOz rotating telescopic arm, in order to measure the measuring point by the dose meter, it is necessary to adjust the position of the yOz rotating telescopic arm according to the distance between the measuring point and the target position of the target ray source, so as to adjust the dose meter to a position at a target measurement distance from the target position of the target ray source.
[0101] S404: Acquire a first target rotation angle of the xOy rotary lifting platform and each second candidate rotation angle of the yOz rotary telescopic arm corresponding to the first target rotation angle.
[0102] S405: Acquire a second target rotation angle of the yOz rotary telescopic arm and first candidate rotation angles of the xOy rotary lifting platform corresponding to the second target rotation angle.
[0103] Furthermore, the above steps have obtained that the measured points are various measurement points on the surface of a sphere with the target position of the target ray source as the center and the target measurement distance as the radius. Since each measurement point is on the spatial coordinate, it is necessary to set the rotation angle of the xOy rotating lifting platform and the yOz rotating telescopic arm to obtain the target spatial position or target spatial coordinates of the measured measurement point through the rotation angle of the xOy rotating lifting platform and the yOz rotating telescopic arm.
[0104] In a possible implementation, the first target rotation angle includes various first candidate rotation angles, and the second target rotation angle includes various second candidate rotation angles.
[0105] For example, if the rotation angle of the xOy rotating lifting platform is the first target rotation angle, and if the rotation angle of the yOz rotating telescopic arm is the second target rotation angle, when the rotation angle of the xOy rotating lifting platform is fixed, that is, the first target rotation angle remains unchanged, each second candidate rotation angle is obtained, and the second candidate rotation angle is the each changing second target rotation angle, so as to obtain the target spatial position of each measurement point when the rotation angle of the xOy rotating lifting platform is fixed based on the first target rotation angle, the each second candidate rotation angle and the target measurement distance.
[0106] When the rotation angle of the yOz rotating telescopic arm is fixed, that is, the second target rotation angle remains unchanged, each first candidate rotation angle is obtained, and the first candidate rotation angle is the each changing first target rotation angle, so as to obtain the target spatial position of each measurement point when the rotation angle of the yOz rotating telescopic arm is fixed based on the second target rotation angle, the each first candidate rotation angle and the target measurement distance.
[0107] In summary, by obtaining the target spatial position of each measurement point when the rotation angle of the xOy rotating lifting platform is fixed, and by obtaining the target spatial position of each measurement point when the rotation angle of the yOz rotating telescopic arm is fixed, the target spatial position of each measurement point on the surface of the sphere with the target position of the target ray source as the center and the target measurement distance as the radius can be obtained.
[0108] S406. According to the first target rotation angle, the second candidate rotation angles, and the target measurement distance, the target spatial position of each measurement point when the rotation angle of the xOy rotating lifting platform is fixed is obtained; each measurement point is at the target measurement distance from the target position of the target ray source.
[0109] Furthermore, the dose value at the measurement point is inversely proportional to the square of the distance from the measurement point to the target position of the target radiation source. Therefore, the dose distribution of each measurement point on the sphere at the same distance R (i.e., the target measurement distance) from the center of the circle (i.e., the target position) is representative. Please refer to Figure 5 The diagram shows the spatial coordinates of any measuring point P on the spherical surface at an equal distance R from the center of the circle, as shown in Figure 5 As shown, with the target position of the target ray source as the center O, any measuring point P (x, y, z) in space at a distance R from the target position (i.e., the target measurement distance mentioned above) has x 2 +y 2 +z 2 =R 2 , then the corresponding parameter equations of each measurement point P are as follows:
[0110]
[0111] Where R represents the target measurement distance mentioned above, represents the second target rotation angle, θ represents the first target rotation angle; based on the operating software, R, θ is set, the radiation source is turned on to measure the dose value J corresponding to any measuring point P in the radiation source space. After the measurement is completed, the radiation dose value of each point on the spherical surface with a radius of R in space can be obtained based on the dose value of each measuring point P.
[0112] S407 : Acquire target spatial positions of respective measurement points when the rotation angle of the yOz rotating telescopic arm is fixed according to the second target rotation angle, the respective first candidate rotation angles, and the target measurement distance.
[0113] Optionally, in another embodiment, a first candidate rotation angle may be determined first, and then the first candidate rotation angle may be combined with each second candidate rotation angle to obtain the target spatial position of each measurement point under the condition that the first candidate rotation angle is fixed and the second candidate rotation angle is changed.
[0114] Next, a second first candidate rotation angle is obtained, and the second first candidate rotation angle is combined with each second candidate rotation angle to obtain the target spatial position of each measurement point corresponding to the condition that the second first candidate rotation angle is fixed and the second candidate rotation angle is varied;
[0115] Similarly, the target spatial positions of the corresponding measurement points are obtained under the condition that the first candidate rotation angles are fixed and the second candidate rotation angles are changed; thereby obtaining the target spatial positions of all measurement points on the spherical surface with the target position of the target ray source as the center and the spatial radius R.
[0116] For example, set the initial target ray source initial angle 1 value θ1 (ie, the first candidate rotation angle mentioned above), control the yOz rotation telescopic arm angle 2 value (i.e., the first second candidate rotation angle mentioned above), the dose value J11 can be measured, and its corresponding spatial position P (x11, y11, z11) is as follows:
[0117]
[0118] Continue to maintain the target ray source initial angle 1 value θ1 (that is, the first candidate rotation angle mentioned above), and control the yOz rotation telescopic arm angle 2 value (i.e., the second candidate rotation angle mentioned above), the dose value J12 can be measured, and its corresponding spatial position is P(x12, y12, z12) as follows:
[0119]
[0120] The dose value J1n is measured in this way, and its corresponding spatial position P(x1n, y1n, z1n) is as follows:
[0121]
[0122] Similarly, set the target ray source initial angle 1 value θ2 (i.e. the second first candidate rotation angle mentioned above) to control the yOz rotation telescopic arm angle 2 value (i.e., the first second candidate rotation angle mentioned above), the dose value J11 can be measured, and the corresponding spatial position P (x21, y21, z21) is as follows:
[0123]
[0124] Set the target ray source initial angle 1 value θ2 (i.e. the second first candidate rotation angle mentioned above), and control the yOz rotation telescopic arm angle 2 value (i.e., the second candidate rotation angle mentioned above), the dose value J11 is measured, and the corresponding spatial position P (x22, y22, z22) is as follows:
[0125]
[0126] The dose value J2n is measured in this way, and the corresponding spatial position P(x2n, y2n, z2n) is as follows:
[0127]
[0128] In summary, the Jnn dose value can be obtained, and the corresponding spatial position P (xnn, ynn, znn) is as follows:
[0129]
[0130] Thus, the target spatial positions of all measurement points on the spherical surface with a radius R and a target point position of the target ray source as the center of the circle can be obtained.
[0131] S408. Adjust the xOy rotary lifting platform according to the first target rotation angle, and adjust the yOz rotary telescopic arm according to the second target rotation angle, so as to measure the X-ray dose value of each measurement point at the target spatial position through the dose tester.
[0132] To sum up, the target position of the target ray source is first obtained, and the position of the xOy rotating lifting platform is adjusted so that the center point of the xOy rotating lifting platform coincides with the target position of the target ray source; the position of the yOz rotating telescopic arm is then adjusted so that the distance between the dose tester and the target position of the target ray source is the same as the target measurement distance; then the first target rotation angle of the xOy rotating lifting platform and the second target rotation angle of the yOz rotating telescopic arm are obtained, and the target spatial position of the measuring point is obtained according to the first target rotation angle and the second target rotation angle; finally, the xOy rotating lifting platform is adjusted according to the first target rotation angle, and the yOz rotating telescopic arm is adjusted according to the second target rotation angle, so that the X-ray dose value of the measuring point at the target spatial position is measured by the dose tester. The above scheme only requires one dose tester to complete all the testing work of the X-ray dose value, which is efficient and can effectively solve the shortcomings of poor traditional measurement positioning accuracy, complex system, and long measurement time, and can adapt to ray sources of different sizes to automatically complete spatial dose measurement.
