Background technique
With application of the cold cathode on x-ray source, can be realized using the multifocal spot X source array that multiple cold cathodes integrate
The scanning imagery of static multi-angle.Since multifocal spot X source array needs to arrange tens X-rays on limited geometry
Source, existing array format easy to accomplish are linear structure.When multifocal spot X source array is using parallel with detector plane
When linear array, the angle of the x-ray source irradiation sweep object on difference arrangement position is different, and is arranged in center
The x-ray source range sweep object in domain is closer, is arranged in the x-ray source range sweep object at both ends farther out, x-ray source to scanning
The distance of object centers is indicated with SOD.The scanning that Fig. 1 shows the multifocal spot X source array different angle of linear structure is shown
It is intended to.In Fig. 1, the multifocal spot X source array includes n x-ray source, and about the x-ray source n-m for being located at central area

Cross the adjusting for adjusting grid voltage realization in real time to tube current；And the mode for fixing grid voltage in advance is needed using more grids
High voltage power supply can greatly increase overall cost.Although cost is relatively low for the mode of serial adjustable resistance, operating process is number
Tired, degree of regulation is not also high.
Another solution is the progress image intensity normalized in image reconstruction process.The solution is opposite
Regulation pipe current system is easier, however, to ensure that the quality of reconstruction image, needs to be arranged in the irradiation of the x-ray source at both ends
Dose of radiation to sweep object is minimum standard, this will increase, and to be arranged in intermediate x-ray source strong to the radiation of sweep object

Before exposing ready signal, the method also includes:
Terminal device initializes the detector, and acquisition mode is arranged, and preset scan pattern and time bias are joined
Number is sent to the controller, and the grid high voltage power supply and anode high voltage power supply of the setting multifocal spot X source array；
Wherein, the time bias parameter includes that the x-ray source in the multifocal spot X source array on different arrangement positions is corresponding
Pulse exposure time.
3. a kind of x-ray tomography system, which is characterized in that the system comprises controller, detector and terminal devices；
The detector is used for, and Xiang Suoshu controller sends exposure ready signal；
The controller is used for, and after receiving the exposure ready signal that the detector is sent, Xiang Suoshu detector sends anti-
Feedback signal；
The detector is also used to, defeated to the controller according to preset acquisition mode after receiving the feedback signal
Scanning triggering clock signal out；
The controller is also used to, and after receiving the scanning triggering clock signal, is opened one by one according to preset scan pattern
The x-ray source moved on multifocal spot X source array carries out pulsed transmitting, and controls current X-ray source according to its preset pulse
Time for exposure irradiates sweep object, so that the x-ray source of different angle, which is irradiated to the field dose on sweep object, tends to one
It causes；Wherein, the pulse exposure time is the duration that the x-ray source is irradiated to the sweep object, and the pulse exposes
Between light time according under minimum imaging requirements sweep object field dose threshold value and x-ray source the dose of radiation of sweep object is obtained
It arrives；
The detector is also used to, and the x-ray source acquired on the different arrangement positions is irradiated to the perspective view after sweep object
Picture, and the projected image is transferred to terminal device；
The terminal device is used for, and the 3-D image of the sweep object is gone out according to the backprojection image reconstruction.
4. x-ray tomography system as claimed in claim 3, which is characterized in that the terminal device is also used to, described
Before detector sends exposure ready signal to the controller, the detector is initialized, acquisition mode is set, it will be pre-
If scan pattern and time bias parameter be sent to the controller, and the grid of the setting multifocal spot X source array
High voltage power supply and anode high voltage power supply；
Wherein, the time bias parameter includes that the x-ray source in the multifocal spot X source array on different arrangement positions is corresponding
Pulse exposure time.
