背景技术Background technique
通常,X射线计算断层摄影装置包括:用于将X射线投射到对象上的X射线管;用于检测穿过对象发射的X射线的检测器;其中安装了所述X射线管和所述检测器的旋转机械装置;以及用于将从检测器获得的数据重构成图像信息的计算机。Generally, an X-ray computed tomography apparatus includes: an X-ray tube for projecting X-rays onto an object; a detector for detecting X-rays emitted through the object; the rotating mechanism of the detector; and a computer for reconstructing the data obtained from the detector into image information.
如上面所描述地构造的传统X射线计算断层摄影装置通过围绕对象旋转所述旋转机械装置来捕获对象的断层摄影。在每一分角度上执行对象的断层摄影的捕获,并且,通过诸如迭代方法、反投影、滤波反投影等等数学计算,来重构通过捕获而获得每个角度的X射线的投影数据。A conventional X-ray computed tomography apparatus constructed as described above captures tomography of an object by rotating the rotary mechanism around the object. The capture of the tomography of the subject is performed at each sub-angle, and the projection data of the X-rays obtained through the capture for each angle are reconstructed through mathematical calculations such as an iterative method, back projection, filtered back projection, and the like.
存在各种X射线计算断层摄影装置的机械结构,并且这些机械结构将被简短描述如下。There are various mechanical structures of X-ray computed tomography apparatuses, and these will be briefly described as follows.
作为第一种,最传统的X射线计算断层摄影装置的机械结构包括具有X射线管、X射线检测器、准直器和数据收集器的圆形旋转体,所述圆形旋转体围绕放置在该旋转体的内部空间中的对象旋转,以便获得对象的透射信息,并从由计算机重构的透射信息获得图像信息。As the first type, the mechanical structure of the most traditional X-ray computed tomography apparatus includes a circular rotating body with an X-ray tube, an X-ray detector, a collimator and a data collector, which is placed around the The object in the internal space of the rotating body is rotated so as to obtain transmission information of the object, and image information is obtained from the transmission information reconstructed by a computer.
作为第二种,C型臂X射线计算断层摄影装置是开放型的X射线诊断装置,其中,X射线管被耦合到C臂型机械装置的一端,而X射线检测器被耦合到相对端,以便可以进行介入放射治疗。As a second type, a C-arm X-ray computed tomography apparatus is an open type X-ray diagnostic apparatus in which an X-ray tube is coupled to one end of a C-arm type mechanism and an X-ray detector is coupled to the opposite end, for interventional radiation therapy.
作为第三种,牙科计算断层摄影(CT)装置,专门用于仅仅诊断诸如病人的头颅、喉咙、颌骨和牙齿之类的局部部位,用于牙科和上颌面手术(maxillofaxial surgery)领域。在牙科计算断层摄影中,X射线管被置于对象的右和左侧,而牙科计算断层摄影与地面平行地旋转,以便获得透射信息。As a third type, a dental computed tomography (CT) apparatus is specially designed for diagnosing only localized parts such as a patient's skull, throat, jaws and teeth, and is used in the fields of dentistry and maxillofacial surgery. In dental computed tomography, the X-ray tube is placed to the right and left of the object, while the dental computed tomography is rotated parallel to the ground in order to obtain transmission information.
作为第四种的是对象旋转型X射线计算断层摄影装置。在这种装置中,代替X射线管和X射线检测器的旋转的是对象被放置于旋转体上并被旋转,这样,可以实现与在X射线管和X射线检测器旋转时同样的效果。这种对象旋转型X射线计算断层摄影装置通常应用于针对非破坏性测试有可能旋转对象的情况下。The fourth type is an object rotation type X-ray computed tomography apparatus. In this device, instead of the rotation of the X-ray tube and the X-ray detector, the object is placed on the rotating body and rotated, so that the same effect as when the X-ray tube and the X-ray detector are rotated can be achieved. Such an object rotation type X-ray computed tomography apparatus is generally applied where it is possible to rotate an object for non-destructive testing.
在如上面描述的X射线计算断层摄影装置中,最传统使用的第一种将详细描述。Among the X-ray computed tomography apparatuses as described above, the most conventionally used first one will be described in detail.
图1是说明常规的X射线计算断层摄影装置的方框图。FIG. 1 is a block diagram illustrating a conventional X-ray computed tomography apparatus.
如图1中所示,传统X射线计算断层摄影装置包括扫描机架2、捕获台4和操作控制台6。扫描机架2具有X射线管20。通过准直器22,从X射线管20发射的X射线被改变为扇形X射线束,也就是说,扇形光束,并被投射到X射线检测器24。As shown in FIG. 1 , a conventional X-ray computed tomography apparatus includes a
X射线检测器24包括在扩展X射线的方向上作为阵列被安排在相同行上的多个检测器器件。稍后将详细描述X射线检测器24的结构。X射线管20、准直器22和X射线检测器24组成了如稍后描述的X射线辐射器-检测器。The

捕获台4被构造成将对象(未示出)移进和移出扫描机架2的X射线辐射空间。稍后将描述对象和X射线辐射空间之间的关系。
操作控制台6包括数据处理器60。例如,数据处理器60是计算机。数据处理器60被连接到控制接口62。控制接口62被连接到扫描机架2和捕获台4。数据处理器60通过控制接口62来控制扫描机架2和捕获台4。The

而且,数据收集器60连接到数据收集缓冲器64。数据收集缓冲器64连接到扫描机架2的数据收集器26。通过数据收集器26收集的数据经由数据收集缓冲器64输入到数据处理器60。Furthermore, the
数据处理器60使用针对通过数据收集缓冲器64收集的多个视点所发射的X射线数据来执行图像重构。例如,使用滤波反投影算法来执行图像重构。The
而且,数据处理器60连接到存储器66。存储器66存储某些类型的数据和程序。通过用于执行存储在存储器66中的程序的数据处理器60来执行与捕获相关的某些类型的数据的处理。Furthermore, the

如上所述,根据外观,传统X射线计算断层摄影装置中使用的X射线检测器被分为:单排X射线检测器、多排X射线检测器和平面类型的X射线检测器。As described above, X-ray detectors used in conventional X-ray computed tomography apparatuses are classified into single-row X-ray detectors, multi-row X-ray detectors, and planar type X-ray detectors according to appearance.
单排X射线检测器以扇形束的形式获得X射线透射信息,而多排X射线检测器以窄角锥形束的形式获得X射线透射信息。Single-row X-ray detectors obtain X-ray transmission information in the form of fan beams, while multi-row X-ray detectors obtain X-ray transmission information in the form of narrow-angle cone beams.
平面类型的X射线检测器以宽角锥形束的形式获得X射线透射信息,并且,存在各种类型,比如:图像增强器连接到电荷耦合器件(CCD)的平面类型的X射线检测器;使用CCD或CMOS传感器的平面类型的X射线检测器;直接检测X射线透射信息的、使用非晶硒(a-Se)的平面类型的X射线检测器;以及闪烁器连接到光电二极管以便间接检测X射线透射信息的平面类型的X射线检测器。A planar type X-ray detector obtains X-ray transmission information in the form of a wide-angle cone beam, and there are various types such as: a planar type X-ray detector in which an image intensifier is connected to a charge-coupled device (CCD); A planar type X-ray detector using a CCD or CMOS sensor; a planar type X-ray detector using amorphous selenium (a-Se) that directly detects X-ray transmission information; and a scintillator connected to a photodiode for indirect detection A flat type X-ray detector for X-ray transmission information.
为了使各种X射线检测器获得重构计算断层摄影图像所必需的X射线透射信息,X射线检测器必须绕对象旋转360度或超过预定的角度,并且在每一分角度上获得X射线透射信息。In order for various X-ray detectors to obtain the X-ray transmission information necessary for reconstructing computed tomography images, the X-ray detector must be rotated 360 degrees around the object or more than a predetermined angle, and obtain X-ray transmission at every minute angle information.
在单排X射线检测器中,单排X射线检测器的宽度在几毫米以下,由于针对一次旋转仅仅可以获得单个断层摄影图像,因此为了弥补上面的缺陷,目前使用了一种螺旋扫描X射线计算断层摄影装置,其中,使用单排X射线检测器的对象在Z轴方向上以固定速度前进,而X射线管和X射线检测器顺序地旋转,以便获得透射信息。In the single-row X-ray detector, the width of the single-row X-ray detector is below a few millimeters. Since only a single tomographic image can be obtained for one rotation, in order to make up for the above defects, a helical scanning X-ray detector is currently used. A computed tomography apparatus in which an object using a single row of X-ray detectors advances at a fixed speed in the Z-axis direction while the X-ray tube and X-ray detectors rotate sequentially in order to obtain transmission information.
而且,作为X射线检测器的发展的结果,最近使用了一种新技术,其中,安装了多排X射线检测器,如四排X射线检测器、八排X射线检测器或十六排X射线检测器,以便在短时间内通过宽区域获得透射信息。同样地,在使用螺旋扫描方法中获得的一组透射信息来重构断层摄影图像的情况下,可以使用迭代方法、反投影和滤波反投影,并且反投影使用最广泛。Also, as a result of the development of X-ray detectors, a new technology has recently been used in which multiple rows of X-ray detectors are installed, such as four-row X-ray detectors, eight-row X-ray detectors or sixteen-row X-ray detectors. Radiation detectors to obtain transmission information over a wide area in a short time. Likewise, in the case of reconstructing a tomographic image using a set of transmission information obtained in a helical scanning method, iterative methods, backprojection, and filtered backprojection can be used, and backprojection is the most widely used.
同样地,为了在螺旋扫描方法中重构断层摄影图像,使用数据排列和插值,以便获得与单元位置相对应的透射信息,其中,在所述位置上所获取的数据将在应用图像重构算法之前被重构。Likewise, for the reconstruction of tomographic images in the helical scanning method, data permutation and interpolation are used in order to obtain transmission information corresponding to the cell positions at which the acquired data will be used in the application of the image reconstruction algorithm was refactored before.
而且,最近使用了具有比多排X射线检测器的检测面积更宽的检测面积的平面类型的X射线检测器,这样,可以更迅速地获得对象的透射信息。在使用平面类型的X射线检测器的情况下,螺旋扫描方法可被应用于重构图像,但是,使用锥形束透射信息来直接使用Feldkamp算法是更有效的。Also, recently, a planar type X-ray detector having a detection area wider than that of a multi-row X-ray detector is used, so that transmission information of an object can be obtained more quickly. In the case of using a planar type of X-ray detector, the helical scanning method can be applied to reconstruct the image, however, it is more efficient to directly use the Feldkamp algorithm using the cone beam transmission information.
由于如上所述的X射线计算断层摄影装置仅仅获得针对构成对象的材料的X射线衰减信息来重构图像,因此不能表示对象的表面的实际颜色信息和细节图像信息。Since the X-ray computed tomography apparatus as described above only obtains X-ray attenuation information for materials constituting an object to reconstruct an image, it cannot represent actual color information and detailed image information of a surface of an object.
而且,由于不能获得对象的表面颜色信息和细节图像信息,因此就不能将可视的诊断图像提供给用户。换句话说,当同时分析人体的内部损伤和可见损伤时、或当同时诊断和分析对象的表面信息和内部信息时,传统的X射线计算断层摄影装置不能提供有效的诊断图像。Also, since the surface color information and detail image information of the object cannot be obtained, a visual diagnostic image cannot be provided to the user. In other words, the conventional X-ray computed tomography apparatus cannot provide effective diagnostic images when simultaneously analyzing internal damage and visible damage of a human body, or when simultaneously diagnosing and analyzing surface information and internal information of an object.

图2是说明根据本发明的优选实施例的、能够同时获得断层摄影图像和固体表面图像的X射线计算断层摄影装置200的系统方框图。FIG. 2 is a system block diagram illustrating an X-ray computed
如图2中所示,根据本发明的优选实施例的X射线计算断层摄影装置200包括:X射线管210,用于通过X射线控制器215的控制来辐射X射线;准直器220,用于根据准直控制器225的控制来调整准直;X射线检测器,用于检测透射穿过对象213的X射线;数据收集器245,用于收集所检测的X射线;图像相机30,用于获得对象213的表面图像;图像获取和控制单元235,用于处理所获得的表面图像;以及旋转体250,其根据旋转控制器255的控制而旋转,并且,所有上述的组件被安装在该旋转体250中。As shown in FIG. 2, an X-ray computed
而且,X射线计算断层摄影装置还包括:数据收集缓冲器260,用于临时存储由数据收集器245收集的断层摄影图像;数据处理器270,用于将从数据收集缓冲器260以及图像获取和控制单元235传送的断层摄影图像信息和表面图像信息重构成三维图像;显示器280,用于显示该三维图像;控制接口283,用于在数据处理器270控制旋转体250和安装在旋转体250中的组件(X射线管210、准直器220、图像相机230等)时作为接口;以及操纵设备281,具有用于用户的操纵按钮。Moreover, the X-ray computed tomography apparatus further includes: a data collection buffer 260 for temporarily storing the tomographic images collected by the
X射线控制器215、X射线管210、准直控制器225、准直器220、图像相机230、图像获取和控制单元235、X射线检测器240和数据收集器245安装在旋转体250中,并通过旋转控制器255的控制而旋转。换句话说,安装有这些组件的旋转体250绕对象213旋转,从而可以在每一分角度上获得对象213的X射线透射信息(断层摄影图像信息)和表面图像信息。
X射线管210根据X射线控制器215的控制而产生X射线,并将X射线投射到对象213。X射线通过用于根据准直控制器225的控制来调整准直的准直器220而投射、穿过对象123,并传播到X射线检测器240。The
准直器220通过根据X射线检测器240的类型而正确调整准直来发送X射线。由X射线检测器240检测的X射线被数据收集器245收集。The
数据收集器245将根据由X射线检测器240检测的X射线量而产生的一系列电压信号转换成数字信号,并将该数字信号传送到数据收集缓冲器260。然后,数据收集缓冲器260又将输入到数据收集缓冲器260的断层摄影图像的数字信号传送到数据处理器270。The
此时,安装在旋转体250中的图像相机230获取对象213的表面颜色信息,并将该信息传送到图像获取和控制单元235。然后,图像获取和控制单元234临时存储由图像相机230获取的表面颜色信息,并依次将该表面颜色信息传送到数据处理器270。At this time, the
为了精确地捕获对象213的表面颜色信息,图像相机230根据图像获取和控制单元235的控制而调整其聚焦和角度。换句话说,当对象213的尺寸和位置改变时,图像相机根据图像获取和控制单元235来调整聚焦和角度,以便精确地捕获对象213的表面颜色信息。In order to accurately capture surface color information of the
优选在图像相机230中使用的图像传感器从电荷耦合器件(CCD)和互补金属氧化物半导体场效应晶体管(CMOS)中选择。The image sensor preferably used in the
而且,如图2中所示,图像相机230被安装在旋转体250的预定位置,使得从X射线管210发射的X射线不被投射到该预定位置。为了精确地捕获对象213的表面颜色信息,图像相机230的镜头优选对准旋转体250的旋转中心安装。Also, as shown in FIG. 2 , the
传送到数据处理器270的对象213的透射信息(断层摄影信息)和表面颜色信息可以通过图像重构算法转换成预定的断层摄影图像组、以及通过应用三维图像图像处理技术而重构的三维表面图像。The transmission information (tomographic information) and surface color information of the
在各种角度由X射线检测器240检测的关于对象213的X射线透射信息被用于重构对象213的内部断层摄影图像或形状。与获取关于对象213的X射线透射信息同时由图像相机230获取的对象213的表面颜色信息被用于重构对象213的表面颜色信息。X-ray transmission information about the
这样,由数据处理器270重构的三维图像的表面可以用实际的颜色信息来描绘,而且人的眉毛、头发、以及化妆、一句话、一张图片,这些在X射线断层摄影图像中难以表达的可以以实际的颜色表现出来。In this way, the surface of the three-dimensional image reconstructed by the
图3是说明在旋转体250的各种角度旋转和定位的、作为根据本发明的优选实施例的X射线计算断层摄影装置的组件的旋转体250的状态的示例图。FIG. 3 is an exemplary diagram illustrating a state of a
如图3中所示,旋转体250绕对象213旋转到每个预定的角度。尽管图3示出旋转体250绕对象213旋转到以30度增加的位置,而实际上旋转体250绕对象213旋转到每一分角度。As shown in FIG. 3, the
当旋转体250绕对象213旋转到每一分角度时,分别通过安装在旋转体250中的X射线管210和X射线检测器240获得对象213的透射信息,并且,通过图像相机230也同时获得了对象213的表面颜色信息。When the
此时,在旋转体250绕对象213旋转时获得的X射线透射信息的量和类型根据安装在旋转体250中的X射线检测器240的类型而改变。At this time, the amount and type of X-ray transmission information obtained while the
当旋转体250绕对象213旋转360度(1周)并且在每一度获取X射线透射信息和图像信息时,由该类型的X射线检测器240检测的数据的量和类型为如下所述。When the
由于如图4a中所示的单排X射线检测器240具有N个检测单元,因此检测单元的数目N*360个检测数据被收集,以及由于在如图4b中所示的多排X射线检测器240的情况下,存在四排具有N个单元的阵列,因此,4*N*360个检测数据被收集。而且,在如图4c中所示的平面类型的X射线检测器240的情况下,由于阵列是具有M*N检测单元的平面,所以M*N*360个检测数据被收集。Since the single-
这样,在单排X射线检测器240和多排X射线检测器240中,为了获得关于对象213的体积的断层摄影图像,执行螺旋类型的扫描方法,即:对象213沿垂直于旋转体250的旋转平面的方向移动,且旋转体250旋转,以便获得X射线透射信息。然而,在平面类型的X射线检测器240中,当平面类型的X射线检测器240大到足以包容对象213的体积时,关于对象213的X射线透射信息可以仅仅通过一周旋转就被充分地获得。Thus, in the single-
在根据X射线检测器240的类型收集了关于对象213的X射线透射信息之后,通过诸如滤波反投影之类的图像重构算法,单排X射线检测器240和多排X射线检测器240可以获得对象213的期望的断层摄影图像,以及通过诸如Feldkamp算法之类的图像重构算法,平面类型的X射线检测器240可以获得期望的断层摄影图像。After collecting the X-ray transmission information about the
通过将三维处理技术应用到根据上述方法获得的预定数目的重构的断层摄影图像组,可以获得重构的三维表面图像。在获得X射线透射信息的过程期间,通过使用由图像相机230获得的各个角度的图像信息,利用上述处理获得的三维表面图像可以表现和对象213的实际表面颜色一样的颜色信息。而且,通过应用立体图像处理技术或表面重构算法,在各个角度获得的对象213的图像信息可以被重构到三维图像中。A reconstructed three-dimensional surface image can be obtained by applying a three-dimensional processing technique to a predetermined number of reconstructed tomographic image sets obtained according to the method described above. During the process of obtaining X-ray transmission information, by using image information of various angles obtained by the
