Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of X-ray experiments, and more specifically to an energy spectrum CT experimental device and method based on white light X-rays. Background Art

[0002] Compared with traditional X-ray absorption contrast imaging, X-ray spectral imaging can image a specific element. The basic principle is that the target element in the sample system has a significant absorption difference for X-rays with energies slightly above and slightly below the absorption edge, while other elements have little absorption difference for these two X-ray energies. Therefore, by subtracting the two energy X-ray projections, the two-dimensional spatial distribution of the target element in the projection direction can be obtained. The X-ray spectral CT experimental method, which combines X-ray spectral imaging with CT (computed tomography) scanning technology, can obtain the three-dimensional spatial distribution of the target element.

[0003] Traditional X-ray spectral CT experimental methods are mainly divided into two technical routes, spectral CT based on monochromatic X-rays and spectral CT based on white light X-rays. The former first adjusts optical elements such as monochromators to screen out monochromatic X-rays with photon energy slightly lower than the absorption edge of the target element to perform a CT scan on the sample, and then screens out monochromatic X-rays with photon energy slightly higher than the absorption edge of the target element to perform a second CT scan on the same sample. This method has the highest spatial resolution because it does not require modifications to the existing high-resolution micro-CT system. However, two CT scans are required for each target element, so when there are multiple target elements in the system at the same time, a very large number of CT scans will be required. On the one hand, the time cost of CT scanning increases exponentially, and on the other hand, the sample system must be a static system with no changes at all, which poses a huge challenge to in-situ experimental research.

[0004] The technical route of spectral CT based on white light X-rays is to use white light X-rays as the light source, and spectral CT imaging can be achieved through a single CT scan. This technical route replaces the traditional imaging planar array detector with a photon counting detector with energy resolution capability. It can identify the energy information of incident X-ray photons by setting multiple electronic thresholds and correspond them to different energy zones for accumulation, thereby counting the X-ray energy zones with a wider energy spectrum distribution and directly obtaining imaging results in different energy zones. This experimental method can achieve multi-element spectral CT scanning through a single CT scan, but due to the limitations of detector technology development, the single pixel size of existing energy resolution planar array detectors is in the order of tens to hundreds of microns, so the spatial resolution of spectral CT is not high, and this type of detector is very expensive and easy to damage.

[0005] In summary, the existing X-ray spectral CT experimental method cannot take into account both temporal resolution and spatial resolution in a multi-target element sample system. Summary of the invention

[0006] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a white light X-ray based energy spectrum CT experimental device and method, so as to simultaneously detect the three-dimensional spatial distribution of multiple elements, and the device has the characteristics of wide energy spectrum detection range and high time-space resolution.

[0007] Based on the above purpose, on one hand, the present invention provides a white light X-ray based energy spectrum CT experimental device, including multiple crystals, multiple detectors and a sample stage, the multiple crystals are arranged in sequence on a first axis along the X direction, the sample stage deviates from the first axis along the Y direction, the sample stage is used to support the sample and rotate the sample around the Z direction, each detector corresponds to each crystal one by one, each crystal can diffract the white light X-ray incident along the X direction to generate diffracted X-rays, the diffracted X-rays of each crystal pass through the sample, and each detector is located on the optical path of the diffracted X-rays of the corresponding crystal and downstream of the sample to receive the diffracted X-rays of the corresponding crystal passing through the sample.

[0008] Furthermore, each crystal is divided into at least one group, each group includes two crystals, the two crystals in each group and the two detectors corresponding to the two crystals form a detection system, and each detection system is used to detect an element of the sample.

[0009] Furthermore, the wavelengths of the diffracted X-rays of the two crystals of each detection system are wavelengths corresponding to the front and rear energies of the absorption edge of the element corresponding to the detection system.

[0010] Furthermore, each crystal is arranged on a slide, and the slide is used to move the crystal along the X direction and rotate around the Z direction.

[0011] Furthermore, the crystal is a diamond crystal.

[0012] Furthermore, the detector is an indirect X-ray detector.

[0013] Another aspect of the present invention provides a white light X-ray based spectral CT experimental method, which comprises the following steps:

[0014] S100: Provide a white light X-ray based energy spectrum CT experimental device according to any one of claims 2 to 6;

[0015] S200: for each crystal, move the crystal along the X-axis to a preset position of the crystal, and rotate the crystal around the Z-axis to adjust the incident angle of the crystal to a preset angle of the crystal;

[0016] S300: transmitting white light X-rays along the first axis and passing through each crystal in sequence, so that each crystal generates diffracted X-rays, and the diffracted X-rays of each crystal pass through the sample and are projected onto a detector corresponding to the crystal, so that the detector detects a projection image of the sample;

[0017] S400: using the sample stage to gradually rotate the sample according to a preset step angle until it is rotated 180 degrees, and after each rotation of the preset step angle, each detector detects a projection image of the sample;

[0018] S500: performing CT reconstruction on a plurality of projection images detected by each detector when the sample is rotated at different angles, to obtain slice data of the internal three-dimensional structure of the sample detected by the detector;

[0019] S600: For each detection system, the three-dimensional spatial distribution of elements corresponding to the detection system is obtained according to slice data of the three-dimensional structure inside the sample detected by two detectors of the detection system.

[0020] Further, in step S200, the preset angle of each crystal is set to be calculated in advance based on the crystal face index of the crystal and the wavelength of the diffracted X-ray of the crystal.

[0021] Further, in step S200, the preset position of each crystal is set to be calculated in advance according to the preset angle of the crystal and the Y-direction distance between the sample and the first axis.

[0022] Furthermore, in step S600, the grayscale values ​​of the slice data of the three-dimensional structure inside the sample detected by the two detectors of each detection system at the same height position are subtracted to obtain the three-dimensional spatial distribution of the corresponding element of the detection system.

[0023] The energy spectrum CT experimental device and method based on white light X-rays of the present invention adopt synchrotron radiation white light X-rays with a wide energy spectrum range as the light source, which can cover the absorption edge range of more elements; the three-dimensional spatial distribution of multiple target elements can be detected simultaneously through one CT scan, and the operation is simpler; by moving the crystal along the X direction and rotating around the Z direction, the type of elements detected by the detection system where the crystal is located can be adjusted, and the flexibility is higher; the detector does not need to adopt a photon counting detector with energy resolution, but can adopt an indirect detector, which has a smaller pixel size and therefore has a higher spatial resolution.

[0029] The preferred embodiments of the present invention are given below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and described in detail.

[0030] like Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, an embodiment of the present invention provides an energy spectrum CT experimental device based on white light X-rays (i.e., X-rays with an energy bandwidth of more than 1 keV), including multiple crystals, multiple detectors and a sample stage. The multiple crystals are sequentially arranged on a first axis L along the X direction, the sample stage deviates from the first axis L along the Y direction, the sample stage is used to support a sample 301 and rotate the sample 301 around the Z direction, each detector corresponds to each crystal one by one, each crystal can diffract the white light X-ray to generate diffracted X-rays, each crystal can rotate around the Z direction, for example, the crystal can perform Laue diffraction (transmission diffraction) or Bragg diffraction (reflection diffraction), and the diffracted X-rays of each crystal are irradiated on the sample 301, each detector is located on the optical path of the diffracted X-rays of the corresponding crystal, and is located downstream of the sample 301, so that the diffracted X-rays after passing through the sample 301 are projected onto the detector, so as to obtain a projection imaging projection of the sample 301 under the white light X-rays.For example, there may be eight crystals, including a first crystal 101, a second crystal 102, a third crystal 103, a fourth crystal 104, a fifth crystal 105, a sixth crystal 106, a seventh crystal 107, and an eighth crystal 108; correspondingly, there may be eight detectors, including a first detector 201, a second detector 202, a third detector 203, a fourth detector 204, a fifth detector 205, a sixth detector 206, a seventh detector 207, and an eighth detector 208. The first to eighth crystals 101-108 are sequentially arranged along the X direction on the first axis L, and the first crystal 1 01 corresponds to the first detector 201, the second crystal 102 corresponds to the second detector 202, the third crystal 103 corresponds to the third detector 203, the fourth crystal 104 corresponds to the fourth detector 204, the fifth transistor 105 corresponds to the fifth detector 205, the sixth transistor 106 corresponds to the sixth detector 206, the seventh transistor 107 corresponds to the seventh detector 207, and the eighth transistor 108 corresponds to the eighth detector 208. The white light X-ray is transmitted along the first axis L, first irradiated on the first crystal 101, and generates transmission diffraction to obtain diffracted X-rays. The first crystal 1 The diffracted X-rays generated by the first crystal 101 are irradiated on the sample 301, and are projected onto the first detector 201 after penetrating the sample 301. At the same time, the white light X-rays will also pass through the first crystal 101 and obtain the transmitted X-rays. The transmitted X-rays continue to irradiate the second crystal 102 and produce transmission diffraction to obtain diffracted X-rays. The diffracted X-rays of the second crystal 102 are irradiated on the sample 301, and are projected onto the second detector 202 after penetrating the sample 301. The transmitted X-rays pass through the second crystal 101 and continue to irradiate the third crystal 103, and produce transmission diffraction to obtain diffracted X-rays. By analogy, the fourth crystal 104, the fifth crystal 105, the sixth crystal 106, the seventh crystal 107 and the eighth crystal 108 can all generate transmission diffraction or Bragg diffraction in sequence to obtain diffracted X-rays. The diffracted X-rays of the fourth to eighth crystals 104-108 are projected onto the corresponding fourth to eighth detectors 204-208 after penetrating the sample 301, so that each detector can receive the diffracted X-rays of the corresponding crystal. The diffracted X-rays contain the structural information of the sample 301, so the imaging projection detected by the detector also contains the structural information of the sample 301. Figure 1 Among the eight crystals shown, the first to fourth crystals 101 - 104 all generate transmission diffraction, and the fifth to eighth crystals 105 - 108 generate Bragg diffraction.

[0031] like Figure 2As shown, assuming that the distance between the sample 301 and the first axis L along the Y direction is h, the intersection points of the first to eighth crystals 101-108 with the first axis L are A, B, C, D, E, F, G, and H respectively, a perpendicular line is drawn from the sample 301 along the Y direction to intersect the first axis L, and the intersection point is recorded as O, and the incident angle between the transmitted X-ray incident on the fifth crystal 105 and the fifth crystal 105 is θ. According to the diffraction formula 2dsinθ=nλ, θ is determined by the interplanar spacing d of the fifth crystal 105, the diffraction order n and the X-ray wavelength λ that meets the diffraction condition; for a specified The crystal face index of the fifth crystal 105, d and n can be determined, and combined with the diffracted X-ray of the desired specified wavelength λ, the θ of the fifth crystal 105 can be determined. Then the angle between the first axis L and the diffracted X-ray of the fifth crystal 105 is π-θ. From the trigonometric function relationship, it can be obtained that: EO = h / tan (π-θ). Therefore, after the position of the sample 301 is determined, the position of the fifth crystal 105 can also be determined; by analogy, the values ​​of AO, BO, CO, DO, FO, GO and HO can also be determined, that is, the positions of the remaining crystals can also be determined. In other words, after the position of the sample 301 and the crystal face index of each crystal and the wavelength of the diffracted X-ray are determined, the position of the crystal relative to the sample 301 can be determined, so that the diffracted X-ray of each crystal can pass through the sample 301, and the detector corresponding to each crystal is placed downstream of the sample 301 and located on the optical path of the diffracted X-ray of the crystal, so as to detect the spatial distribution of the light intensity of the diffracted X-ray of the crystal.

[0032] In some embodiments, each crystal can be divided into at least one group, each group includes two crystals, and the two crystals in each group and the corresponding two detectors form a detection system, and each detection system is used to detect an element of the sample 301. For example, the first crystal 101, the second crystal 102, the first detector 201 and the second detector 202 can form a first detection system, the third crystal 103, the fourth crystal 104, the third detector 203 and the fourth detector 204 can form a second detection system, the fifth crystal 105, the sixth crystal 106, the fifth detector 205 and the sixth detector 206 can form a third detection system, the seventh crystal 107, the eighth crystal 108, the seventh detector 207 and the eighth detector 208 can form a fourth detection system, the first detection system is used to detect the A element of the sample 301, the second detection system is used to detect the B element of the sample 301, the third detection system is used to detect the C element of the sample 301, and the fourth detection system is used to detect the D element of the sample 301.

[0033] like Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, assuming that the energies before and after the absorption edge of the B element are Q1 and Q2 respectively, Q1 corresponds to an X-ray wavelength of λ1, and Q2 corresponds to an X-ray wavelength of λ2. In order for the second detection system to detect the B element, it is necessary to make one of the third crystal 103 and the fourth crystal 104 generate diffracted X-rays with a wavelength of λ1, and the other generate diffracted X-rays with a wavelength of λ2. For example, the third crystal 103 generates diffracted X-rays with a wavelength of λ1, and the fourth crystal 104 generates diffracted X-rays with a wavelength of λ2. The crystal plane indices of the third crystal 103 and the fourth crystal 104 can be obtained in advance, so the incident angle θ1 between the third crystal 103 and the X-ray and the incident angle θ2 between the third crystal 103 and the fourth crystal 104 can be calculated respectively. 03 and the incident angle θ2 between the X-ray, the Y-direction spacing h between the sample 301 and the first axis L can also be measured in advance, thereby obtaining the values ​​of CO and DO, and then the third crystal 103 and the fourth crystal 104 are respectively moved to the corresponding positions so that the second detection system can detect the element B of the sample 301; similarly, the positions of other crystals can be calculated based on the front and rear energies of the absorption edges of elements A, C and D, and each crystal is moved to its corresponding position and rotated around the Z axis to adjust its incident angle to the incident angle calculated in advance, and each detector is moved to a position where it can receive the diffracted X-rays of the corresponding crystal, so that each detection system can detect its corresponding element.

[0034] In some embodiments, each crystal is set on a slide, which is used to move the crystal along the X direction and rotate around the Z direction, so as to adjust the position of the crystal on the first axis L and the incident angle of the crystal. In this way, when it is necessary to detect other elements of the sample 301, it is only necessary to calculate the position and incident angle of the crystal in advance, and then place the crystal and the detector according to the calculated position and incident angle.

[0035] In order to obtain the three-dimensional spatial distribution of sample 301, sample 301 can be scanned by CT, that is, the sample stage is used to rotate sample 301 step by step according to a preset step angle until it rotates 180 degrees. After each rotation of the preset step angle, each detector detects a projection image, so that each detector can detect a set of projection image sequences, which includes the two-dimensional structural information of sample 301 at different angles. CT reconstruction is performed on each set of projection image sequences to obtain slice data of the three-dimensional structure inside sample 301, and the two detectors of the detection system can obtain two sets of projection image sequences. Therefore, two slice data can be obtained through CT reconstruction. The grayscale values ​​of the same height position of the two slices can be subtracted to obtain the three-dimensional spatial distribution of the elements detected by the detection system. For example, the third detector 203 and the fourth detector 204 of the second detection system detect a set of projection image sequences M1 and M2 respectively. M1 and M2 are respectively imported into the CT reconstruction software, and the slice data R1 and R2 of the three-dimensional structure inside the sample can be reconstructed respectively. The grayscale values ​​of the R1 and R2 slices at the same height position are subtracted. The areas without element B distribution in R1 and R2 are not affected by the absorption edge, so the difference is very small, while the areas with denser element B distribution have a large difference due to the strong difference in absorption coefficient before and after the absorption edge, thereby obtaining the three-dimensional spatial distribution of element B. Similarly, after operating other detection systems according to the above method, the three-dimensional spatial distribution of elements A, C and D can be obtained.

[0036] In some embodiments, the crystal may be a diamond crystal, which has a lower absorption rate of white light X-rays than common diffraction crystals such as single crystal silicon, so that when multiple crystals are arranged in sequence, the crystal located upstream will not have a significant effect on the incident light of the crystal downstream; and the diamond crystal has a higher thermal conductivity, and is not easy to produce radiation damage under high-flux synchrotron radiation white light X-ray irradiation compared to common diffraction crystals such as single crystal silicon. The detector may be a high-resolution imaging detector, which belongs to an indirect X-ray detector, which converts X-rays into visible light through scintillation crystals, and combines a high-resolution visible light camera and a scintillation crystal into a whole by optical fiber coupling or lens coupling to realize high-resolution imaging detection of X-rays, and the spatial resolution can reach the micron level to the submicron level according to the magnification of the coupling system. The detector may, for example, use the C12849-111U imaging detector of HAMAMATSU (Hamamatsu) Company, without using a photon counting detector with energy resolution, so the pixel size is smaller, has a higher spatial resolution, and is lower in cost. The incident white light X-rays are synchrotron white light X-rays with a wide energy spectrum, which can cover the absorption edge range of more elements.

[0037] It can be understood that although the above description is based on 8 crystals and 8 detectors as an example, the energy spectrum CT experimental device of the present invention is not limited to this. The number of crystals can be set as needed, for example, 2, 4, 6 or more. In order to achieve the detection of multiple different elements, the number of crystals needs to be set to an even number and at least 4. Every two crystals can detect one element. The number of crystals can be adjusted accordingly according to the number of elements required by the detector.

[0038] like Figure 5 As shown, the embodiment of the present invention also provides an energy spectrum CT experimental method based on white light X-rays, which includes the following steps:

[0039] S100: providing a white light X-ray based energy spectrum CT experimental device as described in the above embodiment;

[0040] S200: for each crystal, move the crystal along the X-axis to a preset position of the crystal, and rotate the crystal around the Z-axis to adjust the incident angle of the crystal to a preset angle of the crystal;

[0041] S300: transmitting white light X-rays along the first axis L and passing through each crystal in sequence, so that each crystal generates diffracted X-rays, and the diffracted X-rays of each crystal pass through the sample 301 and are projected onto a detector corresponding to the crystal, so that the detector detects a projection image of the sample 301;

[0042] S400: Using the sample stage to gradually rotate the sample 301 according to a preset step angle until it rotates 180 degrees. After each rotation of the preset step angle (for example, 5 degrees), each detector detects a projection image of the sample 301;

[0043] S500: performing CT reconstruction on a plurality of projection images detected by each detector when the sample 301 is rotated at different angles, to obtain slice data of the internal three-dimensional structure of the sample detected by the detector;

[0044] S600: For each detection system, the three-dimensional spatial distribution of elements corresponding to the detection system is obtained according to slice data of the three-dimensional structure inside the sample detected by two detectors of the detection system.

[0045] In step S200, the preset angle of each crystal can be calculated in advance based on the crystal plane index of the crystal and the wavelength of the diffracted X-ray of the crystal. The preset position of each crystal can be calculated in advance based on the preset angle of the crystal and the Y-direction distance between the sample 301 and the first axis L. The wavelength of the diffracted X-ray of the crystal is predetermined by the absorption edge energy of the element (i.e., the target element) that the detection system where the crystal is located wishes to detect. The specific calculation method can be found in the description in the device embodiment and will not be repeated here.

[0046] In step S500, the grayscale values ​​of the slice data of the three-dimensional structure inside the sample detected by the two detectors of each detection system at the same height position may be subtracted to obtain the three-dimensional spatial distribution of the corresponding element.

[0047] The energy spectrum CT experimental device and method based on white light X-rays of the embodiments of the present invention adopt synchrotron radiation white light X-rays with a wide energy spectrum range as the light source, which can cover the absorption edge range of more elements; the three-dimensional spatial distribution of multiple target elements can be detected simultaneously through a single CT scan, and the operation is simpler; by moving the crystal along the X direction and rotating it around the Z direction, the type of elements detected by the detection system where the crystal is located can be adjusted, and the flexibility is higher; the detector does not need to adopt a photon counting detector with energy resolution, but can adopt an indirect detector, which has a smaller pixel size and therefore has a higher spatial resolution.

[0048] The above is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention, and is not intended to limit the scope of the present invention. The above embodiment of the present invention can also be modified in various ways. That is, all simple, equivalent changes and modifications made according to the claims and the description of the present invention fall within the scope of protection of the claims of the present invention.
