Abstract

In this paper it was examined both imaging system and processing algorithm for imaging's high speedization of fluorescent X-ray computed tomography using synchrotron radiation, The electronic system was used for dead time by about 6% but shortening of measure time was achieved by 2 seconds per 1 point. Also efficiency of reconstruction algorithm was proved, and memory and calculation amount was decreased by about 1/100 The fixed quantity was confirmed by physical phantom, and iodine distribution was presumed from image of thyroid gland in vitro These result shows realization possibility of fluorescent X-ray computed tomography measure in vivo.

방사광을 이용한 형강 X선 CT 이미징의 고속화를 위한 촬상 시스템과 처리 알고리즘을 검토하였다. 본 논문에서 사용된 촬상시스템은 고계수율 영역에서 안정된 동작을 한 전자 시스템으로 불감시간이 약 6%로 감소되고 계측시간의 경우도 1 점 당 3초로 단축되었다. 또한 재구성 알고리즘의 효율화를 증명하였고, 메모리와 계산량을 약 1/100로 감소시켰다. 물리적 phantom으로 그 정량성을 확인하였고, 시험관내의 갑상선의 화상으로부터 요드 분포를 추정하였다. 이러한 결과는 생체내에서 형광 X선 CT 계측의 실현 가능성을 보여준 것이다.
