Description

A kind of detection system for differentiating photoacoustic imaging based on coaxial time domain
Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of human vas detection system more particularly to a kind of photoacoustic imaging is differentiated based on coaxial time domain Detection system belongs to field of photodetection suitable for the detection of human body arteriovenous inside and outside three-dimensional structure.
Background technique
Angiography is a kind of auxiliary examination technology for being monitored to vascular health situation, is commonly used to clinical each In the Clinics and Practices of kind disease, facilitates doctor and find the state of an illness in time, control disease progression, effectively improve patient's Survival rate.Angiography belongs to intervention detection method, it need to inject developer in the blood vessel of examinee, because X-ray can not be worn Saturating developer, angiography can accurately reflect position and the degree of vascular lesion.But angiography is answered in clinical practice Also there are many insufficient in.For example, it is only able to display the case where lumen, the tube wall and atheromatous plaque being unable to where lesions showed, The details of atheromatous plaque form and property cannot be provided, it is possible to doctor be made to underestimate the degree of coronary stenosis.In order to detect The case where internal blood vessel, the new technologies such as intravascular ultrasound are developed.Intravascular ultrasound is by miniature ultrasonic probe by leading Pipe is led into intravascular and is detected, then the subtle dissection letter such as endovascular geometric shape and structure is shown through electronic imaging system Breath.The probe of intravascular ultrasound is to be placed directly within Endovascular detection, therefore the technology not only can accurately measure lumen, athero- spot The substantially organizational information of atheromatous plaque and fibrous plaque can also be provided in the size of block and fibrous plaque, in display because of cardiovascular disease Radiography is substantially better than when intravascular complex lesions form caused by disease or interventional therapy etc..
Although intravascular ultrasound technology can carry out the detection of internal blood vessel form, since it all belongs to as angiography In intervention detect, under topical anesthesia probe be inserted into blood vessel, there are many blood vessels detection blind area and may Cause the adverse side effect to person to be checked.Therefore, the vascular health monitoring technology of non-intervention type has huge demand and market Prospect.
Photoacoustic imaging (Photoacoustic Imaging, PAI) is a kind of non-invasive developed in recent years and non- The new bio medical imaging procedure of ionization type, can be to avoid the insertion types detection method such as intravascular ultrasound the problem of.Its principle It is when pulsed laser irradiation is into biological tissue, the light absorption domain of tissue will generate ultrasonic signal, and this excited by light generates Ultrasonic signal be photoacoustic signal.The photoacoustic signal that biological tissue generates carries the light absorption characteristics information of tissue, passes through spy The light absorption distributed image in tissue can be reconstructed by surveying photoacoustic signal.Vascular distribution detection may be implemented in photoacoustic imaging technology, i.e., External morphology detection, but carrying out detection to the external morphology of blood vessel and interior tissue fractions distribution simultaneously is a difficulty to be captured Topic.
Summary of the invention
For the problem that external morphology and interior tissue fractions distribution of above photoacoustic technique to blood vessel detect simultaneously, originally Invention provides a kind of detection system and method that photoacoustic imaging is differentiated based on coaxial time domain, is emitted using coaxial laser and ultrasound connects Optical path is received, by differentiating the analysis of optoacoustic echo-signal by time domain using intravascular blood flow optoacoustic echo as spatial analysis benchmark, The blood flow passed through in synchronization quill path, internal blood vessel tissue, vascular wall, which can be analyzed, in single scanning element is respectively layered object The corresponding optoacoustic echo-signal of matter, to realize optoacoustic to the external morphology and interior tissue fractions distribution of blood vessel while visit It surveys.
The present invention is achieved like this:
Human vas detection system proposed by the present invention based on Laser Photoacoustic, mainly by master controller, scanning head, three Tie up electric platforms and accessory composition;
Wherein, accessory includes cascade amplifier, detector circuit, laser controller, data acquisition card, three-dimensional electricity Machine controller and three-dimensional stepper motor;
