Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application belongs to the field of positioning technology, and in particular, relates to a method, system, device and medium for positioning a flat panel detector. Background Art

[0002] Flat-panel detectors are one of the core components in digital X-ray imaging systems. They have high sensitivity and can obtain clear images at a lower radiation dose, thereby reducing radiation exposure to patients. They are widely used in various imaging examinations such as fluoroscopy, angiography, and CT.

[0003] During the use of the flat panel detector, it is necessary to position the flat panel detector to control the position of the flat panel detector relative to the X-ray source, so that the radiation dose distribution of the X-ray on the flat panel detector is more accurate, and the radiation dose received by the flat panel detector is avoided to be insufficient or excessive due to position deviation. At present, since the low-frequency magnetic field is not affected by the human body, the existing technology usually uses the low-frequency magnetic field to position the flat panel detector, and obtains the low-frequency magnetic field information at the location of the flat panel detector, and combines the low-frequency magnetic field distribution pre-determined in the space to obtain the current position of the flat panel detector, so as to realize the positioning of the flat panel detector. The existing flat panel detector positioning method usually pre-calibrates the magnetic field distribution in the space manually, and uniformly applies the manually calibrated magnetic field distribution to the subsequent positioning of the flat panel detector. Since the low-frequency magnetic field is easily disturbed by the metal materials in the surrounding environment, when the distribution of the metal materials in the space changes, it will cause the current low-frequency magnetic field distribution in the space to change, that is, the low-frequency magnetic field information at the current location of the flat panel detector is different from the low-frequency magnetic field information pre-determined manually. Therefore, there is a large deviation between the flat panel detector position obtained by the existing flat panel detector positioning method and the actual flat panel detector position, and the positioning accuracy of the flat panel detector is limited.

[0004] Based on this, how to reduce the impact of environmental changes on the positioning accuracy of the flat-panel detector and achieve high-accuracy positioning of the flat-panel detector is an important issue that needs to be solved urgently. Summary of the invention

[0056] Specifically, the flat-panel detector is moved in the target environment; during the movement of the flat-panel detector, the flat-panel detector is photographed in real time, and the magnetic field at the position where the flat-panel detector is located is sensed in real time to obtain the positioning image of the flat-panel detector at each movement moment as the positioning image sequence; and the magnetic field information of the flat-panel detector at each movement position is obtained as the magnetic field information sequence.
