BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS

[0036] Figure 1 The present application relates to a readout circuit adjustment method for an X-ray direct imaging detector;

[0037] Figure 2The readout circuit according to the present application. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0038] The preferred embodiments of the present application will be described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the preferred embodiments described herein are only used to explain and illustrate the present application, and are not used to limit the present application.

[0039] One embodiment of the present application is a readout circuit adjustment method of an X-ray direct imaging detector, the method comprising:

[0040] S1: The imaging detector receives X-rays, excites the electron-hole pairs of the semiconductor material inside the imaging detector, and further converts the X-ray photons into digital signals;

[0041] S2: The readout circuit converts the digital signals into image signals and amplifies the digital signals;

[0042] S3: The image processing system analyzes and processes the image signals to generate high-quality images;

[0043] S4: The adjustment system adjusts the generated high-quality images to improve the signal-to-noise ratio and the definition of the images.

[0044] The working principle and effect of the above technical solution are as follows: when X-rays are irradiated onto the imaging detector, the semiconductor material inside the detector will absorb the energy of the X-rays. These energies are sufficient to excite the electrons in the semiconductor material, causing them to transition from the valence band to the conduction band, thereby generating electron-hole pairs inside the material. These electron-hole pairs are separated and collected under the action of an electric field, forming an electrical signal. The readout circuit is a key part of connecting the imaging detector and the subsequent processing system. It is responsible for receiving digital signals from the imaging detector and converting them into image signals. This conversion process usually involves decoding, recombining, and formatting the signals to form recognizable image data. At the same time, the readout circuit also amplifies the signal to enhance the strength of the signal and improve the signal-to-noise ratio. This is crucial for improving the clarity and quality of the image. The image processing system receives the image signal from the readout circuit and performs further analysis and processing. These processes include image filtering, enhancement, sharpening, and noise reduction, aiming to improve the visual effect and quality of the image. The adjustment system includes various algorithms and tools for adjusting the brightness, contrast, color balance, and other parameters of the image to further improve the signal-to-noise ratio and clarity of the image. Through these adjustment steps, the adjustment system can ensure that the final output image has the best visual effect and quality, meeting the different needs and application scenarios of users. The semiconductor material inside the detector can efficiently absorb X-ray energy and convert it into electron-hole pairs, which are then converted into digital signals by the readout circuit. This efficient signal conversion capability enables the detector to quickly and accurately capture X-ray image information. The readout circuit amplifies the digital signal during the conversion to an image signal. This step not only enhances the strength of the signal but also helps improve the signal-to-noise ratio, reducing the impact of noise on image quality. The image processing system performs detailed analysis and processing of the image signal, including filtering, enhancement, sharpening, and noise reduction. These processing steps can significantly improve the visual effect and quality of the image, making the generated image clearer and more delicate. The adjustment system allows users to further adjust and optimize the high-quality image generated. By adjusting the brightness, contrast, color balance, and other parameters of the image, users can obtain the best visual effect according to actual needs. This flexible adjustment capability enables the detector to adapt to different application scenarios and needs.

[0045] In one embodiment of the present application, the readout circuit includes a double sampling circuit, a sample and hold circuit, an analog-to-digital converter, and an output buffer, and the signal output end of the double sampling circuit is connected to the signal input end of the sample and hold circuit, the signal output end of the sample and hold circuit is connected to the signal input end of the analog-to-digital converter, and the signal output end of the analog-to-digital converter is connected to the signal input end of the output buffer.

[0046] The working principle and effect of the above technical solution are as follows: the double sampling circuit is mainly used for preliminary processing of the signal after the detector receives the X-ray and generates an analog signal. It will sample the signal at two different time points, usually after the reset signal and the integration signal. The two sampling points correspond to the state of the detector when there is no X-ray irradiation and when there is X-ray irradiation. The output of the double sampling circuit is the signal difference value of the two sampling points, which removes most of the fixed pattern noise and dark current, and improves the signal-to-noise ratio of the signal. The sample and hold circuit receives the signal difference value from the double sampling circuit and maintains the stability of the signal for a period of time. This is because the conversion rate of the analog-to-digital converter cannot match the real-time changes of the detector signal, so a sample and hold circuit is needed to "freeze" the signal for accurate conversion by the ADC. The output of the sample and hold circuit is a stable analog signal, whose value corresponds to the signal difference value output by the double sampling circuit. The analog-to-digital converter is the core part of the readout circuit, which converts the analog signal from the sample and hold circuit into a digital signal. This conversion process is realized through comparators, counters and other circuits, which can quantize the continuous change of the analog signal into a series of discrete digital values. The main function of the output buffer is to buffer the digital signal output by the ADC and transmit it to the subsequent image processing system or storage device. Since the transmission speed of the digital signal may be limited by factors such as interface, bus bandwidth, etc., the output buffer can ensure the continuity and stability of the signal. The double sampling circuit in the readout circuit can remove most of the fixed pattern noise and dark current in the detector signal, thereby significantly improving the signal-to-noise ratio of the signal. The sample and hold circuit ensures that the signal received by the ADC during conversion is stable, avoiding the influence of signal fluctuations on conversion accuracy. At the same time, the high-precision ADC can accurately quantize the analog signal into a digital signal, preserving the details and accuracy of the signal. This makes the generated digital image accurately reflect the original signal of the detector, improving the accuracy and reliability of the image. Modern readout circuits usually use high-speed ADCs and optimized circuit design to achieve fast signal conversion and transmission.

[0047] In one embodiment of the present application, S2 comprises:

[0048] S21: The double sampling circuit adopts the reset signal and the integration signal to the electrical signal collected by the readout circuit, subtracts the reset signal and the integration signal, obtains the net signal, and transmits the net signal to the sample and hold circuit;

[0049] S22: The sample and hold circuit receives the net signal and connects the net signal to the internal level, maintains the stability of the voltage, and then converts the stable electrical signal into a digital signal by the digital-to-analog converter, and transmits the digital signal to the output buffer. The output buffer amplifies the digital signal.

[0050] The working principle and effect of the above technical solution are as follows: the double sampling circuit is mainly used for preliminary processing of the signal after the detector receives the X-ray and generates an analog signal. It will sample the signal at two different time points, usually after the reset signal and the integration signal. The two sampling points correspond to the state of the detector when there is no X-ray irradiation and when there is X-ray irradiation. The output of the double sampling circuit is the signal difference value of the two sampling points, which removes most of the fixed pattern noise and dark current, and improves the signal-to-noise ratio of the signal. The sample and hold circuit receives the signal difference value from the double sampling circuit and maintains the stability of this signal for a period of time. This is because the conversion rate of the analog-to-digital converter cannot match the real-time changes of the detector signal, so a sample and hold circuit is needed to "freeze" the signal for accurate conversion by the ADC. The output of the sample and hold circuit is a stable analog signal, whose value corresponds to the signal difference value output by the double sampling circuit. The analog-to-digital converter is the core part of the readout circuit, which converts the analog signal from the sample and hold circuit into a digital signal. This conversion process is realized through comparators, counters and other circuits, which can quantize the continuous change of the analog signal into a series of discrete digital values. The main function of the output buffer is to cache the digital signal output by the ADC and transmit it to the subsequent image processing system or storage device. Since the transmission speed of the digital signal may be limited by factors such as interface, bus bandwidth, etc., the output buffer can ensure the continuity and stability of the signal. The double sampling circuit in the readout circuit can remove most of the fixed pattern noise and dark current in the detector signal, thereby significantly improving the signal-to-noise ratio of the signal. The sample and hold circuit ensures that the signal received by the ADC during the conversion process is stable, avoiding the influence of signal fluctuations on the conversion accuracy. At the same time, the high-precision ADC can accurately quantize the analog signal into a digital signal, preserving the details and accuracy of the signal. This makes the generated digital image truly reflect the original signal of the detector, improving the accuracy and reliability of the image. Modern readout circuits usually use high-speed ADCs and optimized circuit design to achieve fast signal conversion and transmission.

[0052] S31: pre-processing the image signal, in-depth analysis and processing of the pre-processed image, and extracting key features in the image;

[0053] S32: according to the analysis result, the image is enhanced.

[0054] The working principle and effect of the above technical solution are as follows: first, the image signal is subjected to noise suppression processing to reduce random noise and interference in the image and improve the signal-to-noise ratio of the image. The image is subjected to geometric correction and brightness / contrast correction to eliminate image distortion and distortion caused by unevenness in the detector or imaging process. The preprocessed image is subjected to in-depth analysis using an image processing algorithm to extract key features in the image. The image is segmented into different regions or objects for further analysis and processing. The contrast of the image is adjusted to make the useful information in the image more prominent while suppressing unnecessary details and noise. The image is subjected to sharpening processing to enhance the edges and details of the image. According to the actual application requirements, the enhanced image is subjected to optimization processing to adapt to different display devices and environments. The preprocessing step can remove noise and interference in the image, improve the signal-to-noise ratio of the image, and make the image clearer and purer. The image after preprocessing and in-depth analysis processing is easier to observe and interpret, which helps professionals quickly obtain useful information in the image. In-depth analysis processing can further correct distortion and distortion in the image, improving the geometric accuracy and color accuracy of the image. Image enhancement processing can significantly improve the visual effect of the image, making the image clearer, brighter, and more detailed. Enhancement processing can highlight important information in the image and suppress irrelevant information, making the image more in line with the needs of the observer.

[0055] In one embodiment of the present application, the S4 comprises:

[0056] S41: quality evaluation is performed on the generated image, and according to the evaluation result, the relevant parameters of the image are modified;

[0057] S42: the modified image is subjected to quality evaluation again, forming a closed-loop feedback mechanism, until the image quality reaches a specified value;

[0058] S43: the adjusted high-quality image is output to a display device or saved to a storage device.

[0059] The working principle and effect of the above technical solution are: the generated image is comprehensively quality evaluated, the quality problem existing in the image is identified according to the quality evaluation result, and the related imaging parameter is adjusted accordingly. After modifying the imaging parameter, the image is regenerated and quality evaluated. By comparing the image quality before and after modification, the effect of parameter adjustment is evaluated. If the image quality still does not meet the specified standard, the imaging parameter is continuously adjusted according to the new evaluation result. This process forms a closed-loop feedback mechanism, and through continuous iteration optimization, the image quality meets the requirements. When the image quality reaches the specified value, the adjusted high-quality image is output to the display device for viewing. At the same time, the image is saved to the storage device for subsequent analysis, processing and archiving. The workflow is highly automated, reducing the need for manual intervention. Automatic processing not only improves work efficiency, but also reduces the possibility of human error. The closed-loop feedback mechanism enables the system to quickly respond to changes in image quality and adjust parameters in a timely manner to restore image quality, which is particularly important for real-time imaging applications. Adjusting multiple imaging parameters enables the system to adapt to different imaging needs and scenarios. By flexibly adjusting parameters, the best imaging effect can be obtained.
