The present application claims the benefits of the Chinese Application No. 200410009897.0 filed with the Chinese Patent Office on Nov. 26, 2004 and the Chinese Application No. 200510086458.4 filed with the Chinese Patent Office on Sep. 22, 2005. The entireties of these two applications are incorporated into this application by reference.

FIELD OF THE INVENTION

The invention relates to a radiation imaging technology field, and in particular, to a CT method and a CT apparatus for liquid safety-detection with a radiation source.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PRIOR ART

In a safety detection system of civil aviation, it is required that the liquid articles taken with passengers are examined without opening them. The detection methods used in the prior art mainly comprise a chemical method, an electromagnetic method and a neutron detection method. The chemical method is again classified into an odor identification method and an ion scanning explosive detection method and the like, which methods in practical applications are frequently subjected to severe affection of sealed and packaged conditions of articles to be detected, and also the chemical method suffers from strong sensitivity and high error detection ratio. The electromagnetic detection method is prone to be electromagnetically interfered due to its weak signal, and can not be used to detect liquid articles with metal packages. The use of the neutron detection method will cause residual radiation to be remained in the detected liquid because of the “neutron activation”, and the radiation shielding is complicate and has poor stability, great cover area and high investment, so that the method is not suitable for large scale applications in the safety detection system of civil aviation. In the existing X-ray scanning detection systems, the X-ray passed through a detected article is transmitted to a detector to reflect the density distribution in the detected article depending on the intensity variation of the X-ray, and the intensity of the X-ray is converted into an image grey scale so that the perspective image of the detected article is obtained. Such X-ray scanning detection method, which forms image by identifying the density difference of the detected article, fails to accomplish image formation detection for a liquid article with uniform density distribution.
