Abstract

The present invention relates to an image reconstruction method and an X-ray CT device, wherein an image with good quality can be reconstructed under the condition of the non-existence of the relative data, and the X-ray CT device can reconstruct the image. The projection data of a plurality of views of the related preset segments is formed by using the interpolation of the projection data in a data point pair (A, A') with the reflection point relation in the image channel space for collecting the projection data based on the spiral scanning operation. The image is reconstructed according to the projection data, wherein the projection data does not exist on (A') position equivalent to one of the data point pair in the image channel space. The projection data of which the adjacent position has a plurality of data points (B, C) is used for the interpolation.

Keep these mutual relation constant by X-ray tube 20, collimator 22 with x-ray bombardment, the checkout gear that X-ray detector 24 constitutes, continuously around the axon of rotation (scanning) object 8.In the rotation while of x-ray bombardment, checkout gear, as shown in arrow 42, to take platform 4 continuous when mobile along the axon direction of object 8 when making, and x-ray bombardment, checkout gear carry out so-called helical scanning for object 8, relatively along the helical track rotation of surrounding object 8.Collect the data for projection of a plurality of views by helical scanning.Memorizer (memory) space of storage data for projection is called as the spatial figure of picture channel.
The schematic diagram of Fig. 6 presentation video channel space.Among the figure, the longitudinal axis is a view, and transverse axis is a channel.View is represented with the anglec of rotation β of the central beam of fan beam X ray 400.Central beam is the bundle by center of rotation.Channel is that the angle γ of the X-ray beam of benchmark represents in order to central beam.2 γ max are segment angles of fan beam X ray 400.Each detecting element row is formed this view channel space.
1 rotation by helical scanning obtains the data for projection of the scope of β from 0 to 2p by actual measurement.In this picture channel space,, pip A ' is arranged all to arbitrary data point A.There is the following formula relation in the picture channel space of data point A (β A, γ A) with the picture channel (β A ', γ A ') of pip A '.
Formula 1
β A = β A ′ + π + 2 γ A ′ γ A = - γ A ′
The data point that is in this relation becomes pip each other.The data of these data points become so-called relative data each other.Relative data is to being used to expect the formation of the locational data for projection of fragment.Right according to relative data, obtain the locational data for projection of expectation fragment by interpolative operation.The weight coefficient of interpolative operation is corresponding to the distance from the position of fragment position on the axon of collecting relative data respectively of expectation.
All data points are carried out interpolative operation, obtain the data of all views, but in the actual scanning, because the value of view β discrete (discrete), so by data point A, for example shown in Figure 7, on the position of pip A ', do not have data, how near its data point B and C is only arranged.
Therefore, in this case, obtain the data of data point A ', be made as the data of data point A by the interpolation of the data among data point B, the C.
Formula 2
A = A ′ = β A ′ - β C β B - β C × B + β B - β A ′ β B - β C × C
Here, the view of β B: data point B
The view of β C: data point C
Thus, can obtain correct relative data.Interpolation is not limited to above-mentioned 1 dimension interpolation, also can carry out suitable higher-dimension interpolations such as 2 dimensions or 3 dimensions.In addition, the advantage of 1 dimension interpolation is to calculate simple.
Data processing equipment 60 is carrying out carrying out image reconstruction after above data form.By above-mentioned processing, obtain correct relative data, so the quality of reconstructed image is good.
As above described in detail, according to the present invention, even can realize under the situation that does not have relative data fully the also method of the measured image of restructural matter and can carry out the X ray CT device of image reconstruction.
