Description
Technical field
The present invention relates to X-ray imaging device fields, particularly a kind of CT scan parameter indicating means, device and CT machine.
Background technology
Computer X-ray fault imaging (computed tomography, CT) machine is widely used in medicine and hygiene fields as a kind of armarium and carries out imaging to assist a physician to the health of patient.The sweep test of CT machine mainly comprises the X-ray bulb as x-ray source, the X-ray that X-ray bulb sends is constrained to the collimator of fan-shaped x-ray beam and the x-ray detector as X-ray receptor of different number by the constraint hole by self (being generally the approximate rectangular hole of long narrow shape).When X-ray beam after collimator constraint scans selected scanning slice, its intensity produces corresponding absorption and decay because of the tissue interaction with object to be detected different densities.The X-ray signal collected is converted to picture signal by x-ray detector, and the picture signal after conversion is exported to equipment for reconstructing image and carried out image reconstruction.
X-ray bulb, collimator and x-ray detector are arranged on the rotary frame of CT machine.Under normal circumstances, horizontal direction examinating couch being entered the rotary frame of CT machine is called Z-direction, i.e. system axial.In addition, direction perpendicular to the ground is called Y-direction, and X-direction will be called with Y-direction and the perpendicular horizontal direction of Z-direction respectively.The different Z-direction detector regimes of the corresponding x-ray detector of different Z-direction collimation width of collimator.
Before carrying out actual scanning, operator (as doctor) is needed first to determine related scans parameter.In these related scans parameters, just have a collimator parameter (Slice Collimation) representing Z-direction collimation width, this collimator parameter is typically expressed as the combination parameter form of a × b, and such as 32 × 0.6,4 × 0.6,12 × 1.2 etc.Wherein, a represents the number of plies that scanning adopts, and b represents the thickness of scanning, and a × b represents the Z-direction collimation width scanning and choose, and is also Z-direction detector regimes.
When specifically determining this combination parameter, operator normally selects a combination parameter in existing some combination parameter values.For the x-ray detector of one 16 row, from 4 × 0.6, in 12 × 0.6,16 × 0.6,4 × 1.2,12 × 1.2,16 × 1.2 values such as combination parameter such as grade, a combination parameter can be selected.But in practical application, because the concrete meaning understanding this combination parameter not only needs to understand certain CT rudimentary knowledge, and for different types, the meaning that this combination parameter is expressed may be not identical yet, and therefore some operator may not understand the concrete meaning of this combination parameter when selecting this sweep parameter.In theory, when needing the focus adopting higher spatial resolution to go observation and comparison little, need to adopt less Z-direction collimation width (as 4 × 0.6), and when scanner section bit comparison is long, during as thorax abdomen, then need to adopt larger Z-direction collimation width (as 32 × 0.6).Therefore whether select suitable collimator parameter, can have a great impact the picture quality of CT scan.But when not understanding the concrete meaning of above-mentioned collimator parameter, by sweep time and final picture quality, operator can only judge whether this parameter is selected suitable.
Summary of the invention
In view of this, one aspect of the present invention proposes a kind of CT scan parameter indicating means, propose a kind of CT scan parameter indicating device and CT machine on the other hand, in order to improve the efficiency and accuracy of selecting CT scan parameter, reduce the situation causing picture quality lower because CT scan Selecting parameter is improper and occur.
The CT scan parameter indicating means proposed in the present invention, comprising: set up an x-ray detector display model, and described x-ray detector display model has Z-direction width; When the sweep parameter of a corresponding Z-direction collimation width is determined, the Z-direction width in described x-ray detector display model indicates corresponding Z-direction detector regimes.
In one embodiment, described x-ray detector display model shows the x-ray detector submodule being arranged in Z-direction; Described Z-direction width in x-ray detector display model indicating corresponding Z-direction detector regimes is: by selecting the x-ray detector submodule of corresponding number to indicate corresponding Z-direction detector regimes in described x-ray detector display model.
In one embodiment, the sweep parameter of described corresponding Z-direction collimation width adopts the combination parameter form of a × b to represent, wherein, a represents the number of plies that scanning adopts, and b represents the thickness of scanning.
In one embodiment, the described Z-direction detector regimes by selecting the x-ray detector submodule of corresponding number to indicate correspondence is: the x-ray detector submodule belonging to same layer is adopted identical color marking, the x-ray detector submodule of adjacent two layers is adopted different color markings respectively.
