    摘要: The present disclosure relates to a method and device for estimating a point spread function. In one implementation, a method includes capturing, by a scanning device, an image by scanning a plurality of rectangle blocks which are same sized and closely arranged, wherein the plurality of rectangle blocks are made of different materials and/or have different mass thicknesses, and an incident direction of rays is perpendicular to a scanning direction and a surface of the plurality of rectangle blocks arranged closely during scanning; obtaining line spread functions for two directions along a length side and a width side of each of the rectangle blocks based on the scanned image, and obtaining standard deviation parameters of the line spread functions; and combining the standard deviation parameters for the two directions to obtain a two dimensional Point Spread Function (PSF) parameter so as to estimate the point spread function.

    摘要: The present disclosure relates to a self-prior information based X-ray dual-energy CT reconstruction method, which can utilize information inherent in data to provide a prior model, thereby obtaining a reconstructed image with a high quality. The X-ray dual-energy CT reconstruction method according to the present disclosure comprises: (a) rating an energy spectrum and establishing a dual-energy lookup table; (b) collecting high-energy data pH and low-energy data pL of a dual-energy CT imaging system using a detector of the dual-energy CT imaging system; (c) obtaining projection images R1 and R2 of scaled images r1 and r2 according to the obtained high-energy data pH and low-energy data pL; (d) reconstructing the scaled image r2 using a first piece-wise smooth constraint condition and thereby obtaining an electron density image; and (e) reconstructing the scaled image r1 using a second piece-wise smooth constraint condition and thereby obtaining an equivalent atomic number image. In the present disclosure, the noise in the dual-energy reconstructed image can be effectively prohibited while keeping the resolution by effectively using information inherent in data.

    摘要: Disclosed are a method and a device for security-inspection of liquid articles with dual-energy CT imaging. The method comprises the steps of obtaining one or more CT images including physical attributes of liquid article to be inspected by CT scanning and a dual-energy reconstruction method; acquiring the physical attributes of each liquid article from the CT image; and determining whether there are drugs concealed in the inspected liquid article based on the difference between the acquired physical attributes and reference physical attributes of the inspected liquid article. The CT scanning can be implemented by a normal CT scanning technique, or a spiral CT scanning technique. In the normal CT scanning technique, the scan position can be preset, or set by the operator with a DR image, or set by automatic analysis of the DR image.
