Description

Using ultrasound microbubble (microsphere) contrast agent is directly measured blood flow rate
Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of method of measuring blood flow rate, be specifically related to a kind of method of utilizing ultrasound microbubble contrast agent commercial measurement blood flow rate to comprise blood flow rate in the trunks such as little blood flow and heart.
Background technology
The blood flow measurement technology is started late, adopt indicator dilution method the earliest, has occurred the indicator tracing subsequently and based on the electromagnetic blood flowmeter of Hall effect etc., but the shortcoming of these method maximums has wound to tissue exactly.In order to reach non-invasive measurement, two kinds of gauges based on Doppler effect have appearred in succession---laser-Doppler blood flowmeter and ultrasonic doppler blood flow amount meter.Wherein laser method only can be measured the blood flow rate of very shallow table, almost can not be used for clinical blood flow velocity measurement.The multispectral method of reining in is by emission pulse ultrasonic (or continuous ultrasound ripple, irradiation target (blood vessel), and receive its scatter echo signal, by demodulation, obtain doppler frequency (frequency displacement) fd of echo, can obtain corresponding blood flow velocity, but influenced by angle, signal intensity etc., blood flow rate can not be accurately measured in some cases, and the measurement of little blood flow rate can't be carried out.
Also having a kind of method is the MRA method.It belongs to one of MR imaging method, utilizes the technology of the flowing effect demonstration blood vessel image of blood.Different with the orthovoltage x-ray angiography, MRA does not need the inject contrast material usually.The technology that is mainly used in MRA leap if having time method (time of flight, TOF), the phase-contrast method (phase contrast, PC) and black blood technology.With another difference of orthovoltage x-ray angiography be that the signal of MRA can two dimension or three-dimensional acquisition and demonstration, also can two dimension combine collection (MOTSA) with three dimensional constitution.So far, MRA is mainly used in the imaging than trunk, can't replace routine angiography or DSA in the demonstration of capillary vessel, and it costs an arm and a leg.
As seen by aforementioned, prior art has the shortcoming that himself is difficult to overcome.Therefore, the method for seeking a kind of new measurement blood flow rate also just becomes the industry common recognition.
In recent years, emerging ultrasonic contrast technology is along with the continuous development of acoustic contrast and technology of preparing reaches its maturity and the rapid raising of ultrasonic instrument resolution, and people such as professor Klibanov find: one microvesicle also can be by ultrasonic discovery.Concrete document is referring to The measurement of backscatter fromindividual contrast agent microbubblesSboros, V.; Pye, S.D.; Anderson, T.; Moran, C.M.; Averkiou, M.; MacDonald, C.A.; Gomatam, J.Ultrasonics Symposium, 2002.Proceedings.2002IEEEVolume 2, Issue, 8-11Oct.2002Page (s): 1945-1947vol.2Digital Object Identifier 10.1109/ULTSYM.2002.1192680
Find that based on this we propose to utilize ultrasonic microbubble directly to measure the theory of blood flow rate first, comprise the blood flow rate in little blood flow rate and the cardiovascular injuries in the world.
Summary of the invention
It is the method that the measurement blood flow rate of medium comprises blood flow rate in the trunks such as blood capillary and heart with ultrasonic microbubble (microsphere) that the technical problem to be solved in the present invention provides a kind of.
In order to solve the problems of the technologies described above, a kind of using ultrasound microbubble of the present invention (microsphere) is directly measured the method for blood flow rate, and it is characterized in that: it comprises following steps:
1) intravenous injection ultrasound microbubble contrast agent;
2) adopt moving of ultrasonic contrast imaging technique observation microbubble signals, and video recording;
3) coordinate of microvesicle in the every loyal image in location, the distance between coordinates computed and obtain the distance that microvesicle moves then;
4) obtain the flowing velocity of microvesicle divided by the time by the displacement of calculating microbubble signals.
Further, step 2) described ultrasonic contrast imaging technique comprises and all can show the technology that microbubble signals moves, as harmonic wave imaging technique, subharmonic technology etc.
Further again, step 3) is with the motion track of software track microbubble signals, comprises manual tracking and automatic tracking method.
Adopt the method for the measurement blood flow rate of technique scheme, its beneficial effect is to utilize ultrasonic microbubble directly to measure blood flow rate in the world first, especially can directly measure the blood flow rate in the blood capillary, certainly, also can measure the blood flow rate in the trunks such as comprising heart.
