Description

Accurate blood oxygen saturation measuring method and device based on photoacoustic technology
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of medical measurement, in particular to a method and equipment for accurately measuring blood oxygen saturation based on a photoacoustic technology.
Background
Oxygen in the human body is mainly provided by the reversible combination of oxygenated hemoglobin and reduced hemoglobin in the blood with oxygen. The volume of hemoglobin in blood, which is oxygenated as a percentage of the total available oxygen and hemoglobin volume, i.e., the concentration of oxygen in blood, is usually expressed as the blood oxygen saturation, which is an important index reflecting the oxygen supply condition in the human body and is one of the basic monitoring parameters in clinical medicine. The higher the oxygen content in the blood, the better the human metabolism, and the too low will cause insufficient oxygen supply to the body. The normal human body has an arterial blood oxygen saturation of 98% and a venous blood saturation of 75%.
At present, the blood oxygen instruments for measuring the saturation concentration of blood oxygen on the market are mainly classified into monitoring, finger clipping and pulse type, and the main principle is to detect the change of the absorption amount of blood to different wavelengths of light and determine the percentage of the oxyhemoglobin in all hemoglobin, thereby directly obtaining the degree of oxyhemoglobin saturation. Such oximeters have two light emitting diodes facing the part of the patient to be measured, usually the finger tip or the earlobe. One diode emits a beam with a wavelength of 660 nm and the other emits a beam with a wavelength of 905, 910 or 940 nm, and the absorption coefficients of oxygen-containing hemoglobin in human tissue at the two wavelengths are greatly different from those of oxygen-free hemoglobin. By using the property, the proportion of two types of hemoglobin can be calculated, and the blood oxygen saturation concentration value can be calculated. Although these oximeters provide a convenient continuous non-invasive method of oximetry, there are many application limitations. Most of currently used oximeters are blood oxygen saturation calculation models derived based on the lambert-beer law, and the established premise is to ignore the scattering effect of human tissues and blood components on light, only consider the absorption effect, ignore the light absorption effect of water in tissue blood, and greatly influence the detection accuracy because the proportion of water in blood is more than 80%.
Although this method simplifies the measurement of the arterial blood oxygen saturation concentration, it introduces measurement error in principle, resulting in low measurement accuracy, and when the blood oxygen concentration is low, the measurement error is increased significantly.
Therefore, most oximeters have a measurement uncertainty of 2% to 3% in the 75% to 100% blood oxygen saturation range; and at 50% blood oxygen saturation, the measurement uncertainty can reach 20%. Most instruments do not provide any provisions for measuring uncertainty under the condition that the blood oxygen saturation is lower than 70%, so that the venous blood oxygen saturation concentration cannot be measured by the conventional method, and the detection of the venous blood saturation concentration has important clinical value for detecting the cardiopulmonary diseases. Furthermore, a measurement error of 2% is not favorable for the index value for the patient to switch from mild disease to severe disease for the patient with the present stage of the novel coronavirus pneumonia.
The information disclosed in this background section is only for enhancement of understanding of the general background of the invention and should not be taken as an acknowledgement or any form of suggestion that this information forms the prior art already known to a person skilled in the art.

The method flow shown in fig. 1 is a schematic diagram of a specific embodiment of the method for accurately measuring blood oxygen saturation based on photoacoustic technology disclosed by the present invention, and includes the following steps:
step S1, the excitation light source generator module emits two beams of light with different specific wavelengths as excitation light sources;
the two beams of light with different specific wavelengths are periodic light beams, and the excitation light source comprises at least one of a laser light source and an LED light source.
In some embodiments, when the excitation light source generator module is a laser, the pulse width of the emitted laser pulse is less than 1 ms.
In an embodiment, the excitation light source comprises two specific wavelengths, the difference of the two specific wavelengths being less than 300nm, and the oxygenated hemoglobin and the reduced hemoglobin present different absorption coefficients for the light beams of the two specific wavelengths.
The two light beams with specific wavelengths emitted by the excitation light source generator module respectively have strong absorption to oxyhemoglobin and reduced hemoglobin in blood, and the absorption coefficients of the two molecules for a certain wavelength are approximate, while the difference of the absorption coefficients for the other wavelength is larger. By using these two wavelengths as the excitation light source, the saturation concentrations of oxyhemoglobin and reduced hemoglobin in blood oxygen can be separated. In order to neglect the effect of the measured tissue on the scattering of the laser light, the two wavelengths are also very close.
In a preferred embodiment, when the excitation light source is two laser light sources, the wavelengths of the two light beams with specific wavelengths are 532nm and 559nm, respectively.
In another preferred embodiment, when the excitation light source is two laser light sources, the wavelengths of the two light beams with specific wavelengths are 584nm and 600nm, respectively.
Step S2, irradiating the excitation light source to the surface of the tissue to be detected through an optical system and penetrating into the tissue, so that different ultrasonic signals are emitted in the tissue to be detected due to different absorption coefficients of substances/molecules contained in the tissue to be detected to different wavelengths;
specifically, the optical system irradiates two laser pulses with different wavelengths to a substance to be measured (the substance to be measured may include human epidermal tissues such as fingertips or ears to be measured) through an optical element, blood in the epidermal tissues absorbs optical energy of the laser, energy of the excitation light source is deposited inside the tissues by taking tissue optical parameters as a distribution basis, so that temperature of the tissues is instantly and continuously increased, and the blood radiates an ultrasonic signal outwards due to expansion and contraction of volume caused by temperature change. Due to the different absorption coefficients of the oxygenated hemoglobin and the reduced hemoglobin in the blood to the laser light with different wavelengths, the deposited energy causes different temperature changes, thereby causing different intensities of the ultrasonic signals radiated outwards. The amplitude intensity of the ultrasonic signals generated by the oxyhemoglobin and the reduced hemoglobin is in direct proportion to the absorption coefficients of the ultrasonic signals to different wavelengths.
In one embodiment, the optical system comprises one or more of a mirror, a coupling fiber, an objective lens, a prism assembly, and an opto-acoustic coupler.
S3, collecting ultrasonic signals radiated outwards by oxygenated hemoglobin and reduced hemoglobin in the object to be detected by an ultrasonic signal collection module;

Because of its high frequency, short wavelength, not serious diffraction, good directionality, the ultrasonic detection is commonly carried out by ultrasonic wave in industry and medicine.
Specifically, the ultrasonic signal acquisition module respectively collects ultrasonic signals generated by the action of two beams of laser with different wavelengths on oxygenated hemoglobin and reduced hemoglobin in epidermal tissue blood. On the premise of ensuring the uniformity of incident light, the collected ultrasonic signals contain abundant tissue characteristic information, especially the absorption distribution of pulse energy with different wavelengths.
In an embodiment, the ultrasonic signal acquisition module comprises one or more of a single-probe ultrasonic detector, a multi-probe array ultrasonic detector, piezoelectric ceramics, PVDF, a magnetostrictive ultrasonic detector, and a capacitive micromachined ultrasonic detector, wherein the devices are used for respectively collecting ultrasonic signals with different amplitudes generated by two beams of laser with different wavelengths, which are applied to oxygenated hemoglobin and reduced hemoglobin in blood of a substance to be detected.
Step S4, the ultrasound signal processing module detects the collected ultrasound signals, obtains the relative concentration of the oxygenated hemoglobin and the reduced hemoglobin in the blood by the image reconstruction algorithm, and calculates the absolute value of the blood oxygen saturation of the measured tissue blood according to the relative value of the relative concentration.
Wherein the relative concentration is hemoglobin concentration.
Specifically, the ultrasonic signal data processing module processes the collected ultrasonic signals, and an image model is established through an image reconstruction algorithm, at the moment, the concentrations of the oxygenated hemoglobin and the reduced hemoglobin can be represented by relative values of ultrasonic signal intensities generated by absorption of energy with different wavelengths, and the blood oxygen saturation of the blood of the tested tissue can be calculated through the relative values of the ultrasonic signal intensities of the oxygenated hemoglobin and the reduced hemoglobin and is an absolute value.
Fig. 2 is a schematic diagram of a specific application scenario of the method for accurately measuring blood oxygen saturation based on photoacoustic technology of the present invention, which can be used for detecting blood oxygen saturation of blood in epidermal tissue, wherein the laser emitter module 1, the optical system 2, the ultrasonic signal acquisition module 3, and the ultrasonic signal data processing module 4 can operate according to the flow shown in fig. 1.
