The application discloses a dual-energy ray bone density evaluation method based on a flat panel detector and relates to the technical field of ray evaluation.The direct conversion mode of the flat panel detector is used to realize high-precision collection of low-energy and high-energy ray images, and noise and resolution loss caused by traditional indirect imaging are significantly reduced;one-time and two-time corrections are completed in an edge computing node, the problem of gray scale discontinuity and energy ratio distortion in the joint area of bones and soft tissues is effectively solved, and the authenticity of the image boundary is improved;further dynamic smoothing processing of the energy ratio is combined to obtain a stable ratio image, the stability and repeatability of bone density measurement are significantly enhanced, and more accurate bone density evaluation is realized.

TDS (Time-Delayed Summation) acquisition systems and methods may be used within various imaging device and systems, such as a densitometry system with highly pixelated 2-D detectors and compact x-ray fan beam that scans patients in a rastering pattern across the patient axis. An improved system and method is described for extending the usability of TDS data on each transverse sweep of the scan, by acquiring data when the scan speed is variable. In this method, the TDS shift strobe signal is no longer a constant periodic function. Instead the time between strobes is dependent on the scan velocity and the strobe sequence is generated to provide constant sampling distance between strobes. Thus, the TDS shift sequence insures a constant image pixel size, enabling undistorted images despite the variable speed occurring during the signal summation.
