[0003] ECG-free scanning does not require patients to be connected to ECG gated electrodes, has no restrictions on heart rate, and allows patients to hold their breath or breathe freely. It is suitable for all people, especially emergency patients. Since the scan data obtained by ECG-free scanning does not have corresponding gated signal information and clear phase reference information, it undoubtedly increases the difficulty of imaging with multiple step scans, and the images obtained by imaging may have staggered layers and discontinuities.

[0033] Embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below, examples of which are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals throughout represent the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are intended to be used to explain the present invention, and should not be construed as limiting the present invention.

[0034] Since there is no ECG-gated scanning in the heart area, it relies on wide-body detector CT that can cover the entire heart in a single scan. It does not use ECG signals and directly scans the heart. As long as the single scan covers a heartbeat cycle, the moment when the heart moves slowly can be found, and the data corresponding to that moment can be used to build an image, obtaining a clear, motion-artifact-free, continuous, and non-staggered heart image for diagnosis. However, the high purchase price of wide-body detector CT restricts the equipment needs of hospitals, which in turn limits the application of non-ECG-gated scanning.

[0035] In the case of scanning that requires multiple scans with the scanning bed moved, non-ECG-gated scanning is used. If the image phases of two adjacent scans cannot be guaranteed to be consistent, the overlapping parts of the images constructed by the two adjacent scans will be very different, and it is very likely that one is in the systolic phase and the other is in the diastolic phase. The heart contour and internal structure are very different. At this time, even if non-rigid registration and image fusion are used, it is difficult to stitch the images of the two scans. Especially for special parts such as coronary arteries, the problem of misalignment will be very serious, affecting the extraction of coronary arteries for diagnosis by the image post-processing workstation.

[0036] To solve the above problems, an embodiment of the present invention provides a scanning imaging method, apparatus, storage medium, and scanning equipment. The scanning imaging method, apparatus, storage medium, and scanning equipment of the embodiment of the present invention are described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods.

[0037] Figure 1 FIG. 1 is a flow chart of a scanning imaging method according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 1 As shown, the scanning imaging method may include:

[0038] S101, acquiring multiple scan data obtained by performing multiple scans on a target area, wherein the number of scans is greater than 1;

[0039] S102, determining the reconstruction phase corresponding to each scan data according to the matching degree of the overlapping area of ​​two adjacent scan data;

[0040] S103, constructing an image according to the target data segments corresponding to the reconstruction period of each scanning data to obtain a regional image of the target area.

[0041] In one embodiment of the present invention, the scanning imaging method may include: scanning the target area without ECG gating.

[0042] In the case where a single scan cannot cover the target area, the embodiment of the present invention adopts non-ECG gating to perform multiple step scans on the target area. The number of scans is determined by the area length of the target area and the maximum scan width of the detector. It should be noted that the multiple times used in the embodiment of the present invention refers to at least two times. Each scan data corresponds to a scanning bed position, and multiple scan data correspond to multiple step scanning bed positions.

[0043] Acquire multiple scan data obtained by multiple scans of the target area, calculate the matching degree of the overlapping area of ​​two adjacent scan data, and determine the reconstruction phase corresponding to each scan data in turn. Select the target data segment corresponding to each scan data according to the reconstruction phase corresponding to each scan data, and build an image according to each target data segment to ensure that the heartbeat state corresponding to each target data segment used during image building is consistent, which greatly reduces the staggered phenomenon of the image obtained by building the image.

[0044] The embodiment of the present invention uses non-ECG gating to perform multiple scans on a target area of ​​any length, ensuring that the heart movement state corresponding to the data segment used in each scan is consistent, so as to ensure that the image sequence constructed is basically consistent, and realizes the use of non-ECG gating to scan a target area of ​​any length for scanning and imaging, and the image effect obtained by imaging is good.

[0045] In addition, in the case of using ECG-gated scanning and requiring multiple scanning bed movements, due to the difference in heartbeat motions in different RR intervals, the motion states of the images of adjacent positions scanned twice in the same phase are slightly inconsistent, and the images obtained by imaging also have discontinuous staggered layers. In order to eliminate the discontinuous staggered layers, the relevant technical solutions of the embodiments of the present application can also be used.

[0046] In one embodiment of the present invention, Figure 2 As shown, obtaining multiple scan data obtained by performing multiple scans on the target area may include:

[0047] S201, determining the target number, the target stepping distance of the scanning bed, and the collimation width of the detector according to the area length of the target area, the maximum scanning width of the detector, and the initial scanning position;

[0048] S202, scanning the target area from the initial scanning position, and controlling the scanning bed to move a target step distance each time a scan is completed until a target number of scans are completed.

[0049] Specifically, when performing non-ECG gating scanning of the target area, the target number of times, the target step distance of the scanning bed, and the collimation width (actual scanning width) of the detector are determined according to the area length of the target area, the maximum scanning width of the detector, and the initial scanning position. The detector is controlled to scan the target area for the target number of times according to the collimation width, and the scanning bed is controlled to move the target step distance after each scan is completed. After the target number of scans is reached, the scan is terminated.

[0050] As a specific example, when the area length of the target area is greater than the maximum scanning width of one scan of the detector and less than the maximum scanning width of two scans of the detector, the target scanning number is determined to be 2 times in combination with the initial scanning position of the scan. The collimation width of the detector and the target stepping distance of the scanning bed are set according to the area length of the target area and the length of the pre-overlapping area of ​​the two scans. Generally, the collimation width of the detector and the target stepping distance of the scanning bed are set so that the length of the pre-overlapping area of ​​the two scans meets the splicing requirements to avoid the overlapping area from being subjected to excessive radiation. After controlling the detector to scan the first position area of ​​the target area once with the collimation width, the scanning bed is controlled to move the target stepping distance, and the detector is controlled again to scan the second position area of ​​the target area with the collimation width. It should be noted that there is an overlapping area between the first position area and the second position area.

[0051] In one embodiment of the present invention, before acquiring multiple scan data obtained by performing multiple scans on the target area, the scanning imaging method further includes: determining a preset maximum scan time and a preset minimum scan time, wherein the preset maximum scan time and the preset minimum scan time are determined by a heartbeat cycle corresponding to an average heart rate within a preset time range;

[0052] The scanning imaging method also includes:

[0053] During each scan, if it is determined that the scan does not cover the target heartbeat range according to the identified cardiac motion stage, the scan is terminated when the actual scan time reaches the preset maximum scan time.

[0054] If it is determined based on the identified cardiac motion stage that the scan has covered the target heartbeat range, and the actual scan time is less than the preset minimum scan time, the scan is terminated when the actual scan time reaches the preset minimum scan time.

[0055] When scanning the target area, in order to accurately scan the target heartbeat range, save dose, and reduce unnecessary radiation, the embodiment of the present invention sets a preset maximum and minimum scanning time before scanning the target area from the initial scanning position, that is, the absolute delay from the start of the scanning data is used as the representation of the phase, and a minimum scanning time phase and a maximum scanning time phase are set before scanning, and they fluctuate within a certain range within the corresponding time of a heartbeat cycle, respectively. During scanning, according to the recognition of the heartbeat cycle, a heart scan is performed at any time corresponding to the minimum scanning time phase and the maximum scanning time phase. It should be noted that since the patient's real-time heartbeat cycle cannot be obtained, the range between the minimum scanning time phase and the maximum scanning time phase will be set relatively large, and the maximum scanning time phase should try to cover more than one heartbeat cycle, and the minimum scanning time phase should try to cover more than one systolic period or diastolic period.

[0056] Specifically, in each scanning process, real-time scanning data is obtained, and the cardiac motion phase is identified based on the real-time scanning data. If the end-systole or end-diastole is not identified, or the end-systole and end-diastole are not identified, then when the actual scanning time reaches the preset maximum scanning time, the current scanning is terminated and the current scanning data is obtained. If the end-systole and end-diastole are identified, it can be determined that the scan has covered the target heartbeat range, but the actual scanning time is less than the preset minimum scanning time, then the scanning is continued until the preset minimum scanning time, the current scanning is terminated, and the current scanning data is obtained.

[0057] In the embodiment of the present invention, the preset maximum scan time and the preset minimum scan time can be set by floating up and down within a certain range respectively according to the time of one heartbeat cycle corresponding to the average heart rate of the patient obtained by empirical value or other methods before scanning. The maximum scan time is slightly longer than one heartbeat cycle, and the minimum scan time is slightly longer than one systolic period or diastolic period. Each step scan performs a heart scan according to the corresponding time within the set time range.

[0058] The embodiment of the present invention does not rely on ECG gating to perform a heart scan of any length, and covers the target area by moving the scanning bed step by step for multiple times. After each scan covers at least one heartbeat cycle, or each scan covers a set phase range including the systolic and diastolic periods, the current scan is immediately terminated, and the scanning bed is moved to the position of the second scan for the next scan, and so on until all target areas are scanned.

[0059] In a possible embodiment of the present invention, Figure 3 As shown, determining the reconstruction phase corresponding to each scan data according to the matching degree of the overlapping area of ​​two adjacent scan data may include:

[0060] S301, determining an optimal phase according to any scan data of multiple scan data, and recording it as a reference reconstruction phase corresponding to the multiple scan data;

[0061] S302, reconstructing images corresponding to each period of other scanning data according to scanning data segments corresponding to each period of other scanning data in the multiple scanning data;

[0062] S303, taking the reference reconstruction phase as the starting point, sequentially calculate the matching degree of the overlapping area between the image corresponding to each phase of the current scan data and the image corresponding to the determined reconstruction phase of the adjacent scan data, and record the phase corresponding to the maximum matching degree as the reconstruction phase corresponding to the current scan data.

[0063] In this embodiment, the best phase of any scan data of multiple scan data is determined, and the best phase of the scan data is recorded as the reference reconstruction phase corresponding to the multiple scan data, and the reconstruction phase of each scan data is determined based on the reference reconstruction phase.

[0064] Specifically, any scan data of the multiple scan data is selected, and images corresponding to each phase of the scan data are reconstructed according to the scan data, and the best phase of the scan data is determined according to the image quality corresponding to each phase of the scan data, such as whether there is motion artifact, etc. The best phase of the scan data can be recorded as the reconstruction phase corresponding to the scan data, and the reconstruction phases corresponding to other scan data can be determined based on the best phase of the scan data.

[0065] Specifically, the image corresponding to the best period of the scan data is reconstructed according to the scan data segment corresponding to the best period of the scan data. The images corresponding to the other periods of the scan data are reconstructed according to the scan data segments corresponding to the other periods of the scan data in the multiple scan data. With the reference reconstruction period as the starting point, the matching degree of the overlapping area of ​​the image corresponding to each period of the current scan data and the image corresponding to the determined reconstruction period of the adjacent scan data is calculated in sequence, and the period corresponding to the maximum matching degree is recorded as the reconstruction period corresponding to the current scan data.

[0066] It should be noted that when reconstructing the images corresponding to each period of the current scanning data and the images corresponding to the determined reconstruction period of the adjacent scanning data, only the images of the overlapping area can be reconstructed. The images of the overlapping area can be two-dimensional images or three-dimensional image sequences. Furthermore, the matching degree of the overlapping area of ​​two adjacent scanning data can be the matching degree of the two-dimensional images at the same position of the image overlapping area of ​​the two adjacent scanning data, or the matching degree of the three-dimensional image sequence at the same position of the image overlapping area of ​​the two adjacent scanning data. The same position can refer to the physical position of the target area.

[0067] As a specific embodiment, the best phase of the first scan data is selected and determined, and the best phase of the first scan data is recorded as the reference reconstruction phase corresponding to the multiple scan data, and the reconstruction phase corresponding to each scan data is determined based on the reference reconstruction phase. Specifically, the images of each phase of the first scan data can be reconstructed based on the first scan data, the systolic period and the diastolic period can be determined based on the state of the heart area in the images of each phase of the first scan data, and the best systolic period and / or the best diastolic period can be determined based on the motion artifacts in the systolic period image and the diastolic period image. The best systolic period or the best diastolic period is selected as the best phase, and the best phase is recorded as the reconstruction phase corresponding to the first scan data. The method for determining the systolic period image and the diastolic period image includes obtaining multiple reconstructed images based on the first scan data at a preset time interval, obtaining a curve of the volume change of the target area over time based on the multiple reconstructed images, and determining the systolic period image and the diastolic period image, or the best systolic period and / or the best diastolic period based on the volume-time curve. The multiple reconstruction phases can also be input into a trained phase recognition model to determine the systolic period image and the diastolic period image, the best systolic period and / or the best diastolic period. The phase recognition model may adopt a neural network model, etc. The phase recognition model may be trained by using image sequence samples including systolic images and diastolic images.

[0068] It should be noted that the best phase can be determined according to actual needs, and the best systolic phase or the best diastolic phase can be selected, and the regional image obtained by imaging is the best systolic phase image or the best diastolic phase image. The best systolic phase and the best diastolic phase can also be selected as the first best phase and the second best phase, respectively, so that when imaging, both the best systolic phase image and the best diastolic phase image can be obtained.

[0069] After determining the reconstruction phase of the first scanning data, the reconstruction phases of the other scanning data are determined according to the reconstruction phase of the first scanning data. Specifically, the images corresponding to each phase of the second scanning data are reconstructed according to the scanning data segments corresponding to each phase of the second scanning data. Starting from the reference reconstruction phase, the matching degree of the overlapping area of ​​the image corresponding to each phase of the second scanning data and the image corresponding to the reconstruction phase of the first scanning data is calculated in sequence, and the phase corresponding to the maximum matching degree is recorded as the reconstruction phase corresponding to the second scanning data.

[0070] By analogy, the scan data segments corresponding to the reconstruction period of the second scan and the scan data corresponding to each period of the third scan are used to reconstruct the overlapping parts of the images of the two adjacent scans. The matching degrees of the images corresponding to each period of the third scan and the overlapping parts of the images corresponding to the reconstruction period of the second scan are calculated respectively. The phase with the largest matching degree in the third scan is the phase that best matches the second scan and is used as the reconstructed phase of the third scan.

[0071] The embodiment of the present invention uses the matching degree of the image of the overlapping area to obtain the matching degree of the overlapping area of ​​two adjacent scan data. In other embodiments, the matching degree can be calculated directly using two scan data, and the scan data can be projection data, which can be expressed in the form of a sinusoidal graph.

[0072] In one embodiment of the present invention, calculating the matching degree of the overlapping area of ​​the image corresponding to each period of the current scanning data and the image corresponding to the determined reconstruction period of the adjacent scanning data includes:

[0073] Calculate the matching degree of the image corresponding to each period of the current scanning data and the two-dimensional image at the same position of the overlapping area of ​​the image corresponding to the determined reconstruction period of the adjacent scanning data; or

[0074] The matching degree of the three-dimensional image sequence at the same position of the overlapping area of ​​the image corresponding to each period of the current scanning data and the image corresponding to the determined reconstruction period of the adjacent scanning data is calculated.

[0075] It should be noted that the calculation of the matching degree may be based on two-dimensional images of two scans of the same position, or may be based on a three-dimensional image sequence of the overlapping portion of two scans of the same position.

[0076] As a specific embodiment, the matching degree calculation may be the calculation of mutual information or mean square error between two adjacent scans of the overlapping images.

[0077] The mutual information is defined as follows: in the overlapping part of each scan of the three-dimensional image X, the pixel values ​​are distributed in the interval [I_min, I_max], and are equally divided into N containers, where N can be 100. The number of pixels in each container is n(i). A pixel x belongs to the i(x)th container, and the probability distribution of x is p(x) = n(i(x)) / n_total, where n_total is the total number of pixels. Then the information entropy of the three-dimensional image X is: H(X) = -∑ x p(x)log2p(x). The image overlapping with the three-dimensional image X is the three-dimensional image Y, then the mutual information between the image X and the image Y is: I(X;Y)=H(X)+H(Y)-H(X,Y).

[0078] The embodiment of the present invention calculates the overlapping image parts of two adjacent scans based on mutual information, finds the reconstruction phase with the maximum mutual information with the overlapping parts of adjacent scans in each scan, and obtains the reconstruction phase of each scan. It should be noted that the calculation method of the matching degree is not limited to mutual information. The main example uses mutual information, and it can also be similarity calculation such as mean square error.

[0079] In another possible embodiment of the present invention, Figure 4As shown, determining the reconstruction phase corresponding to each scan data according to the matching degree of the overlapping area of ​​two adjacent scan data may include:

[0080] S401, determining an optimal phase according to any scan data of multiple scan data, and recording it as a reference reconstruction phase corresponding to the multiple scan data;

[0081] S402, according to the reference reconstruction phase, determining the reference target phase and its neighboring phases corresponding to other scanning data in the multiple scanning data, and reconstructing images corresponding to the reference target phase and its neighboring phases of other scanning data;

[0082] S403, taking the reference reconstruction phase as the starting point, sequentially calculate the matching degree of the overlapping area between the reference target phase of the current scan data and the image corresponding to its nearby phases and the image corresponding to the determined reconstruction phase of its adjacent scan data, and record the phase corresponding to the maximum matching degree as the reconstruction phase corresponding to the current scan data.

[0083] In order to reduce the number of phase matching, the reconstruction phase corresponding to the current scan data is determined more quickly. The embodiment of the present invention determines the reference target phase and its nearby phases corresponding to other scan data in the multiple scan data according to the reference reconstruction phase. Taking the reference reconstruction phase as the starting point, the matching degree of the overlapping area of ​​the image corresponding to the reference target phase of the current scan data and its nearby phases and the image corresponding to the reconstruction phase determined by the adjacent scan data is calculated in sequence.

[0084] Specifically, any scan data of the multiple scan data is selected, and images corresponding to each phase of the scan data are reconstructed according to the scan data, and the best phase of the scan data is determined according to the image quality corresponding to each phase of the scan data, such as whether there is motion artifact, etc. The best phase of the scan data can be recorded as the reconstruction phase corresponding to the scan data, and the best phase of the scan data can also be recorded as the reference reconstruction phase corresponding to other scan data, and other scan data can determine the reconstruction phase corresponding to their respective scan data based on the best phase of the scan data.

[0085] According to the scan data segment corresponding to the best phase of the scan data, the image corresponding to the best phase of the scan data is reconstructed. According to the reference reconstruction phase, the reference target phase and its nearby phases corresponding to other scan data in the multiple scan data are determined, and according to the scan data segments corresponding to the reference target phase and its nearby phases of other scan data, the images corresponding to the reference target phase and its nearby phases of other scan data are reconstructed. Taking the reference reconstruction phase as the starting point, the matching degree of the overlapping area of ​​the image corresponding to the reference target phase and its nearby phase of the current scan data and the image corresponding to the determined reconstruction phase of its adjacent scan data is calculated in sequence, and the phase corresponding to the maximum matching degree is recorded as the reconstruction phase corresponding to the current scan data.

[0086] It should be noted that when reconstructing the image corresponding to the target phase and its neighboring phases with reference to the sub-scan data and the image corresponding to the reconstruction phase determined by the adjacent sub-scan data, only the image of the overlapping area may be reconstructed.

[0087] As a specific embodiment, the best phase of the first scanning data is selected and determined, and the best phase of the first scanning data is recorded as the reference reconstruction phase corresponding to multiple scanning data, and the reconstruction phase corresponding to each scanning data is determined based on the reference reconstruction phase.

[0088] The best phase of the first scan data is directly used as the reconstruction phase. If the best phase of the first scan data is the best systolic phase, the best phase of the second scan data is also selected as the corresponding best systolic phase. If the best phase of the first scan data is the best diastolic phase, the best phase of the second scan data is also selected as the corresponding best diastolic phase.

[0089] The best phase of the second scan also selects the corresponding best phase (best systole or best diastole). The reconstructed phase of the first scan and the best phase and nearby phases of the second scan are used to reconstruct the overlapping part of the images of the two adjacent scans. The matching degree of the best phase and nearby phases of the second scan and the overlapping part of the image of the first scan is calculated respectively. The phase with the largest matching degree in the second scan is the phase that best matches the first scan and is used as the reconstructed phase of the second scan data.

[0090] Similarly, the reconstructed phase of the second scan and the best phase and nearby phases of the third scan are used to reconstruct the overlapping image parts of the two adjacent scans, and the matching degree of the best phase and nearby phases of the third scan and the overlapping image parts of the second scan are calculated respectively. The phase with the largest matching degree in the third scan is the phase that best matches the second scan and is used as the reconstructed phase of the third scan.

[0091] The embodiment of the present invention helps to match the phase with good image effect by identifying the heartbeat cycle and the best diastolic period and / or the best systolic period of each scan, thereby reducing the number of phase matching times.

[0092] The above specific embodiments can be obtained as follows Figure 5 The phase image is reconstructed from multiple scanning data. Figure 5 1, 2, 3 are images of the first scan data reconstruction phase, 4, 5, 6 are images of the second scan data reconstruction phase, 7, 8, 9 are images of the third scan data reconstruction phase. Among them, 3 and 4 are images of the reconstruction phase of the overlapping area of ​​the first scan and the second scan, and 6 and 7 are images of the reconstruction phase of the overlapping area of ​​the second scan and the third scan.

[0093] In the embodiment of the present invention, the phase interval between the optimal phase and the phases near it, and the phase interval between the adjacent phases and the optimal phase can be set to 3%, and the number of adjacent phases can be 2 on each side of the optimal phase. The embodiment of the present invention does not limit the phase interval between the adjacent phases and the optimal phase, nor does it limit the number of adjacent phases.

[0094] By adopting the scanning imaging method of the embodiment of the present invention, no matter how long the scanning length is, it can be covered by moving the scanning bed step by step scanning multiple times, and the reconstruction phase of each scanning can be found, such as Figure 6 As shown, the squares represent images of different phases of the overlapping part of each scan with the adjacent scans, and the dotted box is the found reconstruction phase.

[0095] The embodiment of the present invention determines the reconstruction phase by using a step-by-step matching method of the reconstruction phases of multiple step scans for scanning of any length without ECG gating. Specifically, the phases are matched step by step from the first scan to the next: the best phase of the first scan is matched with the best phase and nearby phases of the second scan, and the reconstruction phase of the second scan is found; the reconstruction phase of the second scan is matched with the best phase and nearby phases of the third scan, and the reconstruction phase of the third scan is found, and so on, until all the sub-scan data of the target area are scanned and covered.

[0096] In another possible embodiment of the present invention, Figure 7 As shown, determining the reconstruction phase corresponding to each scan data according to the matching degree of the overlapping area of ​​two adjacent scan data may include:

[0097] S501, reconstructing images corresponding to each period of the multiple scan data according to scan data segments corresponding to each period of the multiple scan data;

[0098] S502, calculating the matching degree of the overlapping area of ​​the image corresponding to each phase of two adjacent scanning data, and recording the phase corresponding to the maximum matching degree as the same reconstruction phase corresponding to the two adjacent scanning data.

[0099] This embodiment does not set a reference reconstruction phase, but calculates the matching degree of the overlapping area of ​​two adjacent scan data, and records the phase corresponding to the maximum matching degree as the same reconstruction phase corresponding to the two adjacent scan data.

[0100] Specifically, the images corresponding to each phase of the multiple scanning data are directly reconstructed based on the scanning data segments corresponding to each phase of the multiple scanning data. The matching degree of the overlapping area of ​​the images corresponding to each phase of two adjacent scanning data is calculated, and the phase corresponding to the maximum matching degree is recorded as the same reconstructed phase corresponding to the two adjacent scanning data.

[0101] In one embodiment of the present invention, the scanning imaging method further comprises:

[0102] If the multiple scan data include scan data not including the heart region, any phase of the scan data not including the heart region is recorded as a corresponding reconstruction phase of the scan data not including the heart region.

[0103] During the scanning process, the doctor may scan a wider area than the heart area, for example, including the liver area. If the scan data does not include the scan data of the heart area, it is not necessary to calculate the matching degree with the overlapping images of the adjacent scans, and any phase of the scan data, such as the starting phase, can be directly used as the reconstruction phase. If the scan data includes the scan data of the heart area, it is necessary to calculate the matching degree of the overlapping area of ​​the images corresponding to each phase of the scan data and the images corresponding to the reconstruction phase determined by the adjacent scan data. The judgment of whether the scan data of the heart area is included in the multiple scan data can be uniformly judged after acquiring the multiple scan data, and then the matching degree of the scan data including the heart area is calculated, or the scan data of the current scan data can be judged during the process of calculating the matching degree of the multiple scan data. The scan data not including the heart area can be all of the scan data of the current scan, or it can be part of the scan data of the current scan, that is, the scan data of the current scan can completely not include the heart area in the Z direction, or it can include part of the heart area in the Z direction, and the scan data of the current scan is any one of the multiple scan data. The scan data not including the heart area generally appears in the start and end scan data of the multiple scan data.

[0104] Whether the scan data includes the heart area can be determined in the following ways:

[0105] In one example, whether the scan data includes the heart region can be determined by imaging any phase of the scan data at multiple positions in the Z direction, and judging whether the heart region is included based on the image obtained by imaging. Specifically, the image obtained by imaging can be input into the heart recognition model. The Z direction is the moving direction of the scanning bed for multiple movements, that is, the stepping direction of the scanning bed.

[0106] In another example, in the localizer scan, the bed code position that does not include the heart area can be identified, and whether the heart area is included is determined based on the bed code position corresponding to the scan data. The localizer, also known as the flat film, is an image used to locate the target area before the step scan.

[0107] In the embodiment of the present invention, for the scan data of the non-cardiac part without motion, there is no need to calculate the matching degree of the overlapping area, and the phase corresponding to the initial data can be used as the reconstructed phase of the scan.

[0108] In one embodiment of the present invention, Figure 8As shown, imaging is performed according to the target data segment corresponding to each scan data reconstruction period to obtain a regional image of the target area, including:

[0109] S601, selecting a target data segment corresponding to each scan data according to a reconstruction period of each scan data;

[0110] S602: Perform image processing according to each target data segment to obtain a regional image of the target area.

[0111] Specifically, according to each scan data reconstruction period, a target data segment corresponding to each scan data is selected, and imaging is performed according to each target data segment, which can ensure that the heartbeat states corresponding to each target data segment used during imaging are consistent, thereby reducing the staggered phenomenon of the image obtained by imaging.

[0112] In one embodiment of the present invention, the scanning imaging method may further include: performing non-rigid registration processing and image fusion processing on adjacent overlapping areas in the regional image.

[0113] Specifically, although the most consistent phase of two adjacent scans has been selected through matching calculation, in order to achieve better results, the overlapping area images of the two scans are subjected to non-rigid registration with decomposition weights and image fusion techniques that assign different weights according to the overlapping positions are used to further weaken the discontinuity of the staggered layers and improve the image quality of the obtained regional images.

[0114] The scanning imaging method of the embodiment of the present invention does not use electrocardiogram signals, performs heart scans of any scanning length without electrocardiogram gating, covers at least one heartbeat cycle at each position, identifies the motion state of the heart data scanned at each position, marks the range of diastole and systole, finds the best phase in the scanned data at each position, and classifies them into the best diastole and the best systole; the best phase and its adjacent phases are used to image the overlapping part of two adjacent scans, the matching degree of the overlapping images is calculated, and the best matching phase of the two scans is found; finally, the data at each position is imaged using the best matching phase, adjacent images are registered and fused, and motion compensation is enabled.

[0115] The scanning imaging method of the embodiment of the present invention is not limited by the width of the detector. By moving the scanning bed for multiple step scans, a non-ECG-gated heart scan of any length can be scanned. By calculating the degree of image matching between the overlapping parts of two adjacent scans, the reconstruction phase that best matches the overlapping part of the adjacent scans in each scan is found, and the reconstruction phase of each scan is obtained. The image is built according to the target data segment corresponding to the reconstruction phase of each scan data, and the regional image of the target area is obtained. The non-ECG-gated scanning is not limited by the scan length, adapts to more clinical application scenarios, and allows more products to support non-ECG-gated scanning.

[0116] The invention provides a scanning imaging device.

[0118] Among them, the acquisition module 10 is used to obtain multiple scanning data obtained by performing multiple scans on the target area, wherein the number of scans is greater than 1; the determination module 20 is used to determine the reconstruction period corresponding to each scanning data according to the matching degree of the overlapping area of ​​two adjacent scanning data; the imaging module 30 is used to perform imaging according to the target data segment corresponding to the reconstruction period of each scanning data to obtain a regional image of the target area.
