    摘要: Disclosed is a dual-energy ray imaging method and system. The method comprises: calculating the mass thicknesses of the materials in the overlapped area of two materials by using a calibrated surface fitting method, and then decomposing a pair of original high-energy and low-energy data for this pixel into two high-low-energy data sets corresponding to the two materials, and finally calculating and acquiring the composition result of different materials for each pixel. The disclosure is especially advantageous in that the problem of error recognition of materials due to the two overlapped materials can be eliminated and the stratified imaging of multiple materials can be achieved, thereby improving the accuracy of the substance recognition and reducing the rate of false positive and false negative which is very important to the applications in the field of security check and anti-smuggling.

    摘要: It is disclosed a system and a method for reconstructing an image by using a straight-line trajectory scan to avoid image spatial resolution reduction due to interpolations in angular direction and detector direction during data rebinning. This system comprises: a projection data conversion section for converting projection data from straight-line trajectory scan into projection data under quasi-parallel-beam scan; a filtration section for obtaining filtered projection data by convoluting the projection data under quasi-parallel-beam scan with a predetermined convolutional kernel; and a back-projection section for reconstructing an image by back-projecting the filtered projection data with a weighting factor. By using the inventive system and method, the spatial resolution in the reconstructed image is improved, and the influence of data truncation on the reconstructed image is reduced. The present invention applies the filtration and back-projection mode, and thus has general advantages of the filtration and back projection, such as simplicity and efficiency. And it is easy to be parallelized and accelerated.
