Abstract:
A CT system and method thereof are disclosed. The system includes: a conveyor mechanism; a first scanning stage configured to scan the object and generate a first digital signal; a second scanning stage spaced from the first scanning stage at a preset distance in a direction of the object's movement; a processing device configured to reconstruct a CT image of the object at a first image quality based on the first digital signal, and analyze the CT image; and a control device configured to adjust a scanning parameter of the second scanning stage based on an analysis result of the processing device to cause the second scanning stage to output a second digital signal. The processing device reconstructs a CT image of the object at a second image quality higher than the first image quality at least based on the second digital signal. The system takes full advantage of the distributed ray sources which replace the normal slip ring technology.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a CT imaging method and system. The method includes: CT scanning an object with a dual-energy CT system to obtain a first complete set of projection data in a first scan mode, and to obtain a second incomplete set of projection data in a second scan mode; reconstructing a first attenuation coefficient image of the object from the first set of projection data, and extracting, from the first attenuation coefficient image, prior structure information of the object indicating edge intensity; and reconstructing a second attenuation coefficient image of the object from the second incomplete set of projection data using the extracted prior structure information as a constraint. With the method using the prior structure information of the imaged object as a constraint in reconstruction, it is possible to dramatically reduce an amount of data required for reconstruction, and achieve satisfactory effects even with ill-conditioned problems of limited-angle and inner reconstruction.

Abstract:
A straight trajectory CT device can be used in radiation imaging. The device includes: a ray-generating unit that generates a ray within a specific range of field angle; a channel for an object to be inspected though which the object to be inspected passes; a first collimator; and a ray receiving unit provided on both sides of the channel for the object to be inspected. The ray beam is received by the ray receiving unit after penetrating the first collimator and the object to be inspected in order. The ray generating unit is static and the first collimator moves in the same direction as the ray receiving unit. This direction is parallel to the channel for the object to be inspected. The device can complete computed tomography with a minimum of one ray receiving unit, thereby simplifying the structure of the device and reducing its cost.
