一种医学X射线图像动态范围扩展方法

针对使用影像增强器或电荷耦合器(CCD)的数字X射线成像设备(DR)动态范围小的不足,提出一种采用尺度空间分解的X射线图像动态范围扩展方法.首先,对成像对象进行2次不同球管电压下的低剂量曝光,得到2幅小动态范围图像,然后在尺度空间对2幅图像进行分解.最后通过重构2幅图像的分解分量重建1幅宽动态范围图像.实验结果表明,该方法能使图像包含的成像对象感兴趣区域由2个扩展到3个甚至更多.2次曝光的皮肤表面吸收剂量总和为2.646×104Gy/cm2,却并未增加患者皮肤表面吸收剂量.将此方法用于使用影像增强器或电荷耦合器的数字X射线成像设备,有利于提高这些设备的利用率.

A Technique For Extending Dynamic Range of Medical X-Ray Image

A technique for extending the dynamic range of medical X-ray image that uses multi-scale image decomposition is proposed to extend the dynamic range of digital radiology equipment with either image intensifier or charge coupled device.Two images obtained at different tube voltages are decomposed by multi-scale image decomposition,and the resulting components are then recombined to reconstruct an image with extended dynamic range.Experiments show that the image processed by the technique contains 3 or more r...
