A kind of monitoring of flat panel detector and bearing calibration
Technical field
The invention belongs to the ray digital imaging field, relate to a kind of monitoring and bearing calibration.
Background technology
Flat panel detector is a kind of ray digitalized image equipment of high complexity, can be used for substituting the radial imaging of conventional film, also can be used as the image-forming block of cone-beam CT system.Due to the restriction of architectural feature and manufacturing process, there is multiple flaw in the original output image of flat panel detector, directly affect its image quality, therefore usually need to carry out necessary correction to flat panel detector.
The unfavorable factor of the flat panel detector of paying close attention at present mainly contains 3: have darkfield image, gain coefficient is inconsistent and have bad pixel, corresponding bearing calibration is respectively details in a play not acted out on stage, but told through dialogues correction, gain calibration and bad pixel correction.The output valve of flat panel detector when darkfield image refers to there is no radiation exposure, darkfield image will be added to when opening radiographic source in projected image, and can be along with the variation of transmitted intensity linear change; The output characteristics parameter of a large amount of pixels of flat panel detector has dispersiveness, thereby produces the inconsistent problem of gain coefficient; Bad pixel is the pixel to the transmitted intensity abnormal reaction, and due to the pixel enormous amount of flat panel detector, manufacturing process is complicated, thereby bad pixel is generally inevitable.The conventional bearing calibration of this 3 aspect is comparative maturity, and is extensively adopted by flat panel detector manufacturer.
When flat panel detector is in good working state, darkfield image can be stablized within the specific limits, and flat panel detector easily is subject to the impact of the many factors such as RADI, humidity corrosion, local pyrexia and component aging in long-term the use, darkfield image fluctuation by a relatively large margin may occur and show as random appearance fluctuation striped, directly causes the image after conventional method is proofreaied and correct unavailable when serious.King's hardship is stupid, the people such as Zhang Dinghua, Huang Kuidong are at " computer-aided design (CAD) and graphics journal " (2009,21 (7): proposed a kind of details in a play not acted out on stage, but told through dialogues fluctuation estimation and bearing calibration based on shadow shield in article 954-961) " bearing calibration of a kind of Cone-Beam CT middle plateform detector output image ", obtained effect preferably, but whether the method does not consider the details in a play not acted out on stage, but told through dialogues fluctuation, and the size of details in a play not acted out on stage, but told through dialogues undulate quantity, the details in a play not acted out on stage, but told through dialogues fluctuation that all images carry out is line by line without exception proofreaied and correct, and processing may cause a large amount of unnecessary calculating like this.
The original output image of flat panel detector generally also will carry out Logarithmic calculation after processing through above-mentioned correction, could for detection of judge, perhaps be used for cone-beam CT reconstruction.
Summary of the invention
There are a large amount of unnecessary calculating and the deficiency that needs to proofread and correct rear Logarithmic calculation in order to overcome prior art, the invention provides a kind of monitoring and bearing calibration of flat panel detector, fluctuate with the darkfield image that reaches in the full life cycle of monitoring flat panel detector, and simplify the purpose of flat panel detector aligning step, minimizing correction calculation amount.
The technical solution adopted for the present invention to solve the technical problems comprises the following steps:
(1) in a side of flat panel detector ray receiver window, a bonding jumper is installed, this bonding jumper is perpendicular to the details in a play not acted out on stage, but told through dialogues striped that fluctuates, and can make some column or row of flat panel detector output image obtain good alpha ray shield;
(2) choose the flat panel detector mode of operation according to the detection demand, obtain darkfield image, obtain bad template pixel image based on the method for Statistical Information Analysis according to the method for several superposed averages of routine;
(3) choose the radiation exposure parameter according to the detection demand, gather the blank irradiation image that several do not contain object to be detected, and each pixel respective pixel gray scale phase adduction of these images is average, obtain the blank irradiation of width image, the method of subtracting each other by the respective pixel gray scale again, deduct darkfield image from the blank irradiation of this width image, obtain image S ' (x, y);
(4) by selected flat panel detector mode of operation and radiation exposure parameter irradiation object to be detected, obtain image S
0(x, y);
The method of (5) subtracting each other by the respective pixel gray scale is from image S
0Deduct darkfield image in (x, y), complete details in a play not acted out on stage, but told through dialogues and proofread and correct, obtain image S
1(x, y);
(6) carry out judgement calculating and the correction calculation of flat panel detector darkfield image fluctuation monitoring, obtain image S
2(x, y); Judgement calculating and the correction calculation step of described flat panel detector darkfield image fluctuation monitoring are as follows:
A) calculate darkfield image pixel grey scale average P and grey scale variance T;
B) get T '=(1.1~1.3) T, obtain the lower limit E of darkfield image fluctuation
1The upper limit E of=P-T ' and darkfield image fluctuation
2=P+T ';
C) with image S
0In (x, y), the N of shielding row or N are capable, adopt the method for pressing row pixel grey scale progressive mean or pressing row pixel grey scale progressive mean, on average become 1 row or 1 row, are designated as
D) search
The maximal value of middle pixel grey scale
And minimum value
E) judgement: if
And
Think image S
0(x, y) is stable, need not to carry out the details in a play not acted out on stage, but told through dialogues fluctuation and proofreaies and correct; Otherwise image S
0There are the details in a play not acted out on stage, but told through dialogues unusual fluctuations in (x, y), and this moment is right
In pixel grey scale judge one by one, if i pixel grey scale
Exceed the upper limit or the lower limit of darkfield image fluctuation, establish its details in a play not acted out on stage, but told through dialogues undulate quantity
With S
