项目摘要

Fluorescent x-ray technique is usually used to evaluate very low contents of specific elements in the order of picograms, however the measurement must be performed in the surface of object. Then for biological sample, the specimen is required to be cut into thin slices and scanned with a beam perpendicular to its surface. The fluorescent x-ray computed tomography (FXCT), which can reveal the distribution of inner element of object and do not require the specific preparation, have being developed. Especially by positioning the x-ray detector at 90゜ to the beam, the linear polarization of synchrotron x-rays (SR) helps to significantly reduce the Compton scattering overlapping the KィイD2αィエD2 line and thus improving the minimal detectability of elements. Using a detector with high efficiency and high count-rate capability and highly precise x-ray collimator system, we implemented FXCT with high spatial resolution in the order of tens of micrometers.FXCT was applied to depict the cross sectional distribution of iodine in the thyroid gland, in vitro, at the spatial resolution of 0.1 mm x 0.1 mm with 0.1-mm slice thickness or of 0.025 mm x 0.025 mm with 0.025 mm slice thickness. FXCT with SR could clearly visualize the 0.005 mg/ml iodine solution in the 10-mm diameter 3-hole phantom at 0.1 x 0.1 mmィイD12ィエD1 spatial resolution with 0.1 mm slice thickness. Observation of the 0.005 mg/ml iodine solution indicated that the excited iodine content in the measured voxel is about 5 pg (0.005 mg/ml x 1.0 x 10ィイD1-6ィエD1 ml). In the thyroid cancer, FXCT revealed that a part of cancer had high content of iodine, whereas another part had low content of iodine. It varied wide ranges from 0.09 mg/g to 0.005mg/g.FXCT can obtain the image of specific elements by selecting the KィイD2αィエD2 fluorescent x-ray line, so many other elements such as zinc and cupper for enzyme function of tumor, and platinum for the cancer therapy will be imaged quantitatively.

荧光X射线技术通常用于评估皮克量级的极低含量的特定元素，但测量必须在物体表面进行。然后，对于生物样品，需要将样品切成薄片，并用垂直于其表面的光束进行扫描。荧光X射线计算机断层成像（FXCT）是一种不需要特殊准备就能显示物体内部元素分布的成像技术。特别是通过将X射线探测器定位在光束的90 °处，同步加速器X射线（SR）的线性偏振有助于显著减少与K D2 α D2线重叠的康普顿散射，从而提高元素的最小可探测性。采用高效率、高计数率的探测器和高精度X射线准直系统，实现了具有数十微米级高空间分辨率的FXCT，并应用FXCT对离体甲状腺组织中碘的截面分布进行了研究。空间分辨率为0.1 mm x 0.1 mm，层厚为0.1 mm，或空间分辨率为0.025 mm x 0.025 mm，层厚为0.025 mm。带SR的FXCT可以在0.1 mm层厚的0.1 x 0.1 mm空间分辨率下清晰地显示10 mm直径3孔体模中的0.005 mg/ml碘溶液。对0.005 mg/ml碘溶液的观察表明，测量体素中的激发碘含量约为5 pg（0.005 mg/ml x 1.0 x 10 μ g D1-6 μ g D1 ml）。在甲状腺癌中，FXCT显示一部分癌症具有高碘含量，而另一部分具有低碘含量。FXCT通过选择K_（12）D_2 α_（12）D_2荧光X射线线，可获得特定元素的图像，从而使许多其它元素如肿瘤酶功能的锌、铜、肿瘤治疗的铂等元素定量成像。
