    Abstract: A CT system and method thereof are discloses. The system includes: a conveyor mechanism; a first scanning stage configured to scan the object and generate a first digital signal; a second scanning stage spaced from the first scanning stage at a preset distance in a direction of the object's movement; a processing device configured to reconstruct a CT image of the object at a first image quality based on the first digital signal, and analyze the CT image; and a control device configured to adjust a scanning parameter of the second scanning stage based on an analysis result of the processing device to cause the second scanning stage to output a second digital signal. The processing device reconstructs a CT image of the object at a second image quality higher than the first image quality at least based on the second digital signal. The system takes full advantage of the distributed ray sources which replace the normal slip ring technology.

    Abstract: Multi-spectral static CT apparatuses are disclosed. The apparatus includes a ray source in a form of multiple distributed spots, multiple columns of detectors, a data acquisition device, an article carrying and control device, and a multi-spectral projection data processing device. An object of the present disclosure is to combine static CT scanning technology with multi-spectral analysis technology. It has an advantage of a static CT system, such as high scanning speed, simple mechanic structure, and/or cost reduction due to omission of slip ring. It also can perform identification of material in an article, and can be widely applied in occasions such as safety inspection, and smuggling suppression at customs.

    Abstract: 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.

    Abstract: A radiation protection arrangement, including: a housing, the housing including a first port and a second port; and a tray, the tray having an accommodation space. The tray is allowed to pass through a channel within the housing. The tray has a first end wall, a second end wall, and a bottom portion connected between the first end wall and the second end wall. A shape of the first end wall and/or a shape of the second end wall are/is configured to fit with an inner wall of the housing, so as to block a radiation from leaving the channel from the accommodation space through the second port or the first port. Further provided is a security inspection device, including the radiation protection arrangement.
