Embodiment Construction

[0040] The specific embodiment of the present invention will be further described below in conjunction with accompanying drawing and specific embodiment:

[0041] A system for correcting beam hardening artifacts in CT images based on adjustable two-factors, including an edge information acquisition module, a projection data acquisition module, an artifact data approximate calculation module, and a corrected image acquisition module. During the correction process, it specifically includes the following steps :

[0042] Obtain the edge information of the high-density area in the CT image through the edge information acquisition module, use the threshold method on the original image with hardening artifacts to segment the high-density area, then use the active contour segmentation method to accurately obtain the edge information, and finally extract the high-density area Contour τ(D) of τ(D); In the edge information acquisition of high-density areas in CT images, the original ima...

Abstract

The invention discloses a CT image beam hardening artifact correction system based on adjustable double factors, and particularly relates to the technical field of X-ray CT imaging. According to the system, in the correction process, a high-density region in a CT image is segmented to obtain edge information; projection data of the high-density area is calculated; the attenuation coefficient of the substance to the ray is approximately calculated to obtain artifact data caused by a high-density region; and finally, artifact data is reconstructed by using a classical filtering back projection algorithm, and the reconstructed artifact image is substracted from the original image to obtain a corrected CT image. The system can provide high-quality images for industrial CT and medical CT detection, and compared with a previous CT image beam hardening artifact correction method, the system can quickly and effectively eliminate hardening artifacts without priori knowledge.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of X-ray CT imaging, in particular to an adjustable dual-factor CT image beam hardening artifact correction system. Background technique [0002] X-ray CT (Computed Tomography, referred to as CT) is an advanced non-destructive testing technology, which has been widely used in many fields such as industry, medicine, and material testing. According to the different degrees of X-ray absorption of different substances, it reconstructs the tomographic image along the path of the rays. However, since the rays emitted by the X-ray tube are polychromatic, when they pass through the object to be measured, they interact with it, and the low-energy X-photons are preferentially absorbed, resulting in a significant proportion of the high-energy part of the X-ray in the material being passed through. increases, the average energy of the rays increases. This phenomenon can be interpreted as a "hardening" of the energy sp...
