Description

CT spiral scanning multi-plane reconstruction image axial performance test die body
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of medical CT (computed tomography) scanning reconstructed image performance test, in particular to an axial performance test of a CT spiral scanning reconstructed image, and specifically relates to an axial performance test die body of a CT spiral scanning multi-plane reconstructed image.
Background
At present, the medical CT scanning system of medical institution equipment in China has completed updating from single-row axial scanning CT to multi-row spiral scanning CT.
When CT scanning is performed in clinical diagnosis and examination, spiral scanning (namely, spiral scanning is commonly called) is adopted in heart and cerebral angiography and chest and abdomen disease examination, a detected person lying on an examination table moves along with the table during X-ray rotation irradiation, and the scanning and imaging speed is high, and the defect that the image quality is not better than that of the scanning commonly called axial scanning in which the examination table does not move during scanning is overcome.
In CT scanning, medical staff is required to perform multi-axial planar reconstruction by helical scanning after scanning and reconstructing a Z-axis tomographic XY plane image (cross-sectional image) in order to accurately determine the focus morphology, thereby obtaining a sagittal plane image (sagittal plane is a ZY plane along the front-back path of a human body lying in a horizontal plane, i.e., a ZY plane perpendicular to the ground and made along the Z-axis) and a coronal plane image (coronal plane is an XZ plane parallel to the ground and made along the left-right path of the human body, i.e., the X-axis), or three-dimensional reconstruction at any angle.
The quality management standard of the spiral scanning three-dimensional reconstruction image is not seen up to the present, CT manufacturers are all called isotropy, but the detailed technical indexes and the proof files are not seen. In clinical radiodiagnosis in hospitals, the method for estimating the morphology and the resolution of a focus three-dimensional image by using the performance parameters of the reconstructed XY plane image of the CT system axis scanning existing detection die body has the defect of technical strictness, and is particularly suitable for a wide-beam multi-row spiral CT scanning system.
Disclosure of Invention
Aiming at the defects existing in the prior art, the invention aims to provide the axial performance test die body for the CT spiral scanning multi-plane reconstructed image, which has reasonable design, simple structure, firmness, reliability, convenient use and easy maintenance, can be used for the axial performance test of the CT spiral scanning multi-plane reconstructed image, provides measured data for the three-dimensional image performance evaluation of a reconstructed focus, and can also be used for the measurement of the performance of the CT axial scanning reconstructed image.
In order to achieve the above purpose, the invention adopts the following technical scheme:

the body is a cube or cuboid of organic glass with upper, lower, left, right, front and back,

The design scheme has the advantages that the data used for spiral scanning three-dimensional reconstruction images are obtained by continuous scanning acquisition when an examination bed (in the Z-axis direction) moves, the dot-shaped image performance of tungsten wire segments and tungsten beads on an XY plane intersecting the Z-axis is almost indistinguishable, the difference of the MTF values of the spatial resolution is calculated by using two dot-shaped graphs on the same plane and is less than 0.5Lp/cm (in the range of actual measurement 5-16 Lp/cm), and the two values are equal or are different from each other. Whereas in reconstructing the XZ plane transverse to the X-axis YZ plane and transverse to the Y-axis, the hardening artifacts of the tungsten filament in a single direction are evident, the isotropy of the tungsten beads in the three-dimensional scan is not seen with its hardening artifact effects. The MTF value measured from the bead point image in the same XZ or YZ plane may be higher than 1.0Lp/cm than the MTF value measured from the tungsten wire segment dot image. Therefore, the scheme is that tungsten wires are arranged in the Z-axis direction, and tungsten bead strings (the bead spacing is 5 mm) are arranged in the X-axis direction and the Y-axis direction. The MTF value of the spatial resolution of each image of various scanning layer thicknesses can be continuously measured in the Z-axis direction and the length range of the tungsten filament, but the MTF value of the spatial resolution of each image of the various scanning layer thicknesses cannot be measured in the X-axis direction or the Y-axis direction, namely the MTF value of the spatial resolution of the image of the point image with the bead can be measured.

Detailed Description
The present invention will be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.
Referring to fig. 1-12, fig. 1 is a schematic perspective view of the present invention, opposite to the rear face 6 of the mold body, and fig. 2-6 are six-face expanded schematic views of the present invention, which are expanded based on the front face 5 of the mold body.
The invention relates to an axial performance test die body for CT spiral scanning multi-plane reconstruction images, which comprises:
The main body 20 is a cube or rectangular cylinder with three pairs of surfaces, i.e. an upper surface 1, a lower surface 2, a left surface 3, a right surface 4, a front surface 5 and a rear surface 6 (see fig. 1), the main body 20 is made of an organic light solid material, preferably an organic material with a density close to that of water, such as polycarbonate PC, high-density polyethylene, polystyrene PS, organic glass (PMMA, also called acryl), nylon or bakelite, and the main body is made of organic glass.
The tungsten wire and the tungsten bead string for measuring the spatial resolution of CT spiral scanning multi-plane reconstruction images, namely high contrast resolution, are arranged in the body along the X, Y, Z-axis direction, and concretely, the embodiment (see figure 12) is that a tungsten wire 10 is arranged along the Z-axis direction, a string of tungsten beads is respectively arranged along the X, Y-axis direction, the X-axis is a first tungsten bead string 13, the Y-axis is a second tungsten bead string 14, the bead spacing is 5mm, the three tungsten wires and the tungsten bead strings (namely the tungsten wire 10, the first tungsten bead string 13 and the second tungsten bead string 14) are not overlapped and crossed on the same plane, the diameter of the tungsten wire is 0.05-0.15 mm, and the diameter of the tungsten bead is 0.2-0.3mm. The three tungsten wires and tungsten bead strings are not overlapped and not contacted with each other, which means that intersecting contact points do not exist between the tungsten wire 10 and the two tungsten bead strings 13 and 14 in space, when a scheme of arranging supporting rods (supporting protection rods) is adopted, the three tungsten wires and tungsten bead strings are not overlapped with each other, which means that intersecting contact points do not exist between the supporting rods of the three tungsten wires and tungsten bead strings in space, so as to avoid overlapping of scanning images, fig. 12 shows an embodiment of a layout of the tungsten wires and the tungsten bead strings, and the supporting protection rods for fixing the tungsten wires and the tungsten bead strings are inserted into holes 7, 8 and 9 in fig. 1. The diameter of the tungsten filament is 0.05-0.15 mm, wherein 0.05mm,0.07mm,0.1mm,0.12mm and 0.15mm are all selectable diameters.
The tungsten filament 10 and the tungsten bead strings 13 and 14 in the body 20 are respectively perpendicular to three pairs of surfaces of the die body, as shown in fig. 12, the tungsten filament 10 in the Z-axis direction is perpendicular to the front (supine head position of a patient, namely CT frame position), the back (foot position of a patient), the tungsten bead string 14 in the Y-axis direction is perpendicular to the upper surface and the lower surface, and the tungsten bead string 13 in the X-axis direction is perpendicular to the left surface and the right surface. The arrangement of the tungsten filament and the spatial position of the tungsten bead string takes into account the uniformity of the reconstructed image and avoids the interference of X-ray scan hardening artifacts.
The six surfaces of the body 20 are respectively provided with 1-5 metal wires 30 for measuring the thickness deviation of the CT spiral scanning reconstructed image layer, and the metal wires can be tungsten wires, copper wires, steel wires or tin wires. The number of the metal wires on each surface can be the same, for example, 2,3,4 or 5 metal wires on each surface can be different, the metal wire materials can be the same or different, and the metal wires can be selected according to the mould body length and the ratio between the metal wire image length and the scanning layer thickness, and particularly, refer to fig. 7-11. In the embodiment shown in fig. 2-6 (schematic views of the six surfaces of the die body), two wires are arranged on the front, rear, left and right surfaces, three wires are arranged on the upper and lower surfaces, and tungsten wires are used as the wires in the embodiment.
The wires 30 are all arranged obliquely on the surface, and are mutually parallel and equidistantly arranged.
In one embodiment of the invention, 3 wires are arranged on the upper surface 1 and the lower surface 2 in plan view and used for collecting layer thickness information (spiral scanning and axial scanning) of a reconstructed image by cross section (XY plane) scanning, the wires 30 are obliquely arranged to be low on the left and high on the right or low on the left and high on the right, the highest ends 31 of the wires positioned below and the lowest ends 32 of the wires positioned above adjacent to the highest ends are positioned on the same horizontal line, and the aim of arrangement is that continuous layer thickness information is collected on each layer of images reconstructed by wide-range spiral scanning (or axial scanning) in the length of a die body, namely, projections of the wires 30 are not interrupted or overlapped during multi-layer continuous scanning reconstruction.
Two wires are arranged on the plane view of the left surface 3 and the right surface 4 and are used for collecting the layer thickness information of the coronal (XZ plane) scanning reconstructed image.
Two wires are provided on the front 5 and rear 6 plan views for acquiring sagittal (YZ plane) scan reconstructed image layer thickness information.
The metal wires 30 on the six surfaces of the body 20 are preferably tungsten wires, the tungsten wires can be adhered on the surface of the die body, or can be arranged below the surface layer of the die body by other methods, in the embodiment of fig. 1-6 of the invention, the metal wires (tungsten wires) 30 are arranged in the grooves 301 on the surface of the body 20, three tungsten wires are respectively arranged on the upper surface 1 and the lower surface 2, and two tungsten wires are respectively arranged on the left surface 3, the right surface 4, the front surface 5 and the rear surface 6. Because the partial volume effect of CT scanning imaging is also called as the volume effect, the image contrast of images reconstructed by scanning wires of the same material and the same wire diameter in the same background material with different layer thicknesses can be greatly different, the diameter of the tungsten wire is 0.1-0.3 mm, which is an experimental preferred value of various materials and wire diameters, wherein 0.1mm,0.2mm and 0.3mm are all selectable diameters.
The parallel metal wires (tungsten wires) can be biased on the surface of the die body (namely, are arranged close to one side), but the preferable scheme is that all tungsten wires are symmetrically arranged with the center of the surface, so that the tungsten wires are uniformly distributed, and the test positioning and the data processing programming are convenient, and particularly refer to fig. 1-6.
The inclined lines on the upper surface 1 and the lower surface 2 for measuring the cross section (transverse Z axis) scanning layer thickness deviation form an angle alpha 1 with the front surface 5 or the rear surface 6 of the body 20, the inclined lines on the front surface 5 and the rear surface 6 for measuring the sagittal plane (transverse X axis) scanning layer thickness deviation form an angle alpha 2 with the left surface 3 or the right surface 4 of the body 20, the inclined lines on the left surface 3 and the right surface 4 for measuring the coronal plane (transverse Y axis) scanning layer thickness deviation form an angle alpha 3 with the upper surface 1 or the lower surface 2 of the body 20, the angle of the angle alpha 1、α2、α3 is 18.4-45 degrees, and the angle of the angle alpha 1、α2、α3 can be different from each other or the same. When the included angle is 45 degrees, the length of the metal wire scanning reconstruction image is equal to the thickness of the scanning reconstruction layer. When the included angle is 18.4 degrees, the length of the metal wire scanning reconstruction image is three times of the thickness of the scanning reconstruction layer (the projection relation formula is 1/tan alpha), so that the measurement accuracy of a thinner layer can be improved, but the difficulty of die body placement and alignment is also increased. The optimal selection of the included angle alpha 1、α2、α3 is 26.6 degrees, and the half-width length of the metal wire scanning reconstruction image is twice the thickness of the scanning reconstruction layer. This can form a series of products.
The tungsten wire and the tungsten bead string can be directly arranged in the die body, for example, the die body is manufactured into a whole during forming. In order to facilitate the processing and manufacturing of the die body and the testing and using of the die body, the body 20 of the invention is provided with through holes 7, 8 and 9 along the three axial directions of X, Y, Z, the tungsten wire and the tungsten bead string are arranged on the axial line position (not shown in the figure) in a cylindrical supporting protection rod which is the same as the die body in material, and the size of the supporting protection rod is matched with the size of the through hole, so that the manufacturing precision is ensured, and the assembly and the use are convenient.
The body 20 may be a cube or a cuboid (including 6 faces are rectangular, or 2 faces are square, and 4 faces are rectangular), and specifically, may be designed into an independent die body or be combined with other CT imaging performance testing modules into a multifunctional testing die body according to different requirements.
In an alternative embodiment, the die body side length may be 7 to 24cm, for example, 7 to 7, 9 to 9, 11 to 11, 12 to 12, 15 to 15, 17 to 17, 20 to 20, 22 to 22 or 24 to 24cm cubic die bodies are optional examples, and for the rectangular die body, the Z axial length may be 1.1, 1.3, 1.5, 1.7 or 2.0 times the front and rear side lengths, respectively, such rectangular test die bodies may be used in the head die or the abdomen die, and the test die body with side length 20, 22 or 24cm cubic may be used independently.
The specific arrangement of the wires 30 is shown in fig. 7 to 11, in which the dotted lines are only used to indicate that "the highest end 31 of the wire 30 located below and the lowest end 32 of the wire 30 located adjacent above are on the same horizontal line".
