Because a Computed Tomography (CT) image reconstruction algorithm is based on ideal system geometric parameters, the CT system has very strict requirements on geometric parameters and installation accuracy of a radiation source, a scanned object and a detector. At present, the existing geometric calibration method of the cone beam CT system is divided into two types, namely, phantom calibration and algorithm calibration: the calibration method based on the phantom adopts a specially designed calibration phantom, obtains geometric error parameters of the system in the calibration process, and uses the parameters for hardware adjustment of the system or directly for later image reconstruction; the geometric calibration method based on the algorithm is to directly process projection data or projection images, calculate geometric error parameters of the CT system and use the geometric error parameters in the reconstruction algorithm. Most of the existing geometric calibration methods for cone beam CT systems aim at a single X-ray source, wherein the phantom calibration method needs to specially design and process a high-precision phantom to carry out geometric calibration on an imaging system, and because the precision of the processed phantom is limited, a certain error exists in a calibration result; the algorithm calibration method usually needs to design a complex algorithm, then the imaging geometric parameters are calibrated through a series of calculations, and the calibrated geometric parameters are limited.
At present, the existing static cone-beam CT system based on the integrally packaged multi-beam X-ray source array also adopts the geometric calibration mode of the single light source cone-beam CT system. However, in the static cone-beam CT system using the integrally packaged multi-beam X-ray source array, because the plurality of X-ray sources are integrally packaged in the same bulb tube, the geometric calibration method cannot calibrate the geometric position of each independent emission source in the multi-beam X-ray source array, and thus the application range is limited and the calibration accuracy is low.
