Summary of the invention
The object of the invention is to provide a kind of blood flow velocity formation method based on the transverse flow speed model, it can intermittently pass in and out the low frequency fluctuation of surveying the backscattering light intensity signal that the light focal spot causes by erythrocyte and remove to calculate blood flow velocity, with the method for the high frequency Fluctuation Calculation blood flow velocity that is caused by Doppler effect that replaces using at present.
Technical solution proposed by the invention is such:
A kind of blood flow velocity formation method based on the transverse flow speed model, this formation method comprises the steps: to use the
laser 5
irradiation body surfaces 6 through expanding bundle, with 7 pairs of area to be illuminated territories of CMOS camera continuous imaging, the light intensity signal of
CMOS camera 7 each pixel record forms independently signal sequence, calculate the normalized autocorrelation functions of each signal sequence, the slope in partial linear zone is that
erythrocyte 1 is horizontally through the transition time of surveying light
focal spot 2 before first zero point of normalized autocorrelation functions
, erythrocytic lateral velocity is
, wherein,
For surveying the transverse width of light focal spot.
Principle of the present invention is as follows: the
laser 5 through expanding bundle is to shine
body surfaces 6 with
body surface 6 subvertical directions, carry out continuous imaging with 7 pairs of area to be illuminated territories of CMOS camera, the whole picture element matrix of
CMOS camera 7 is equivalent to parallel detector array, each pixel promptly is an independently detector, writes down corresponding focus place time dependent backscattering light intensity signal.The blood circumstance at focal spot place of supposing certain pixel correspondence is shown in Fig. 1 (a), stain is represented mobile erythrocyte among the figure, the dotted rectangle frame table shows the
focal spot 2 of surveying light, when erythrocyte does not enter detection light
focal spot 2, the signal that reflects back is very weak, when
erythrocyte 1 enters detection light
focal spot 2, have stronger reflected signal, therefore be subjected to
mobile erythrocyte 1 interrupted turnover to survey the modulation of light
focal spot 2, backscattering light intensity signal forms pulse one by one in time, and when
erythrocyte 1 translational speed was slow, the time of passing detection light
focal spot 2 was longer, the pulse width that produces is bigger, when
erythrocyte 1 translational speed was very fast, the time of passing detection light
focal spot 2 was shorter, and the pulse width of generation is narrower, the
corresponding erythrocyte 1 of the time width of pulse passes the time of surveying light
focal spot 2, i.e. transition time
Among Fig. 1 (a), pass the
erythrocyte 3,4 of detecting light beam in the non-focusing zone, because these
erythrocyte 3,4 are in outside the
focal spot 2, less to the influence of backscattering light intensity signal, therefore,
focal spot 2 outer erythrocytic influences can be ignored.Rectangle frame is represented the
focal spot 2 that amplifies among Fig. 1 (b), and erythrocyte is with speed
Flow through
focal spot 2, survey light vertically, doppler angle is
,
Longitudinal component
Cause Doppler frequency shift, be assumed to
Erythrocyte is with lateral velocity
Pass and survey light
focal spot 2, then back-scattering light can be expressed as
, suppose that the back-scattering light of stationary is around the blood vessel
, this two parts light all enters detector and interferes (being heterodyne method), and the light that then detects is
, because
Much smaller than
, the light intensity signal that then detects can be reduced to
, shown in Fig. 2 (a), the higher-order of oscillation wherein derives from Doppler effect, promptly
So,, all be that the analysis of high frequency vibration signal calculates flow velocity based on the blood flow imaging method of Doppler effect, the frame frequency of camera is required than higher, generally at 20KHZ.Low frequency envelope among Fig. 2 (a) (shown in Fig. 2 (b)) corresponding to
, the pulse among Fig. 2 (b) is exactly that erythrocyte passes and surveys the light focal spot and form, so width average time of pulse is exactly the time that erythrocyte passes detection light focal spot, i.e. transition time
, suppose that the transverse width of surveying the light focal spot is
, then erythrocytic lateral velocity
Because the frequency of the low-frequency pulse among Fig. 2 (b) is lower, therefore the frame frequency of camera is required to be not less than 500HZ and get final product.During several cycle of the higher-order of oscillation that causes greater than Doppler effect when the time of exposure of camera, then the higher-order of oscillation that causes of Doppler effect has only erythrocyte intermittently to pass in and out and surveys the low-frequency pulse that the light focal spot causes, shown in Fig. 2 (b) just by on average in the signal.
Though the transverse flow speed model can only obtain the cross stream component of flow velocity, promptly
,
Be actual flow velocity,
Be doppler angle because body surface shallow-layer blood vessel major part all is and body surface near parallel distribution, when imaging system and irradiating laser and body surface when vertical, doppler angle
Scope between 90 °~80 °, then the scope of flow velocity cross stream component exists
Between, very near actual flow velocity
So, can represent actual flow velocity with transverse flow speed, need not consider the influence of unknown doppler angle, be the longitudinal component of flow velocity and the present blood flow imaging method based on Doppler effect obtains, promptly
, work as doppler angle
Scope exist
In the time of between the degree, the result is
, and actual flow velocity
Differ bigger, can not reflect true flow velocity.
For the signal shown in Fig. 2 (b), calculate the mean breadth of pulse, i.e. transition time by normalized autocorrelation functions
,
In the following formula
The auto-correlation function of the light intensity signal that expression detects.
The low frequency envelope signal that Fig. 3 (a) and (b), (c) detect when representing the flow velocity ratio for 4:2:1 respectively, though under same speed, the width and the amplitude of the backscattering light pulse that erythrocyte produces when passing detection light focal spot are variant, but the width of flow velocity and pulse has tangible dependency.The normalized autocorrelation functions of Fig. 3 (a) and (b), (c) is shown in Fig. 3 (d), the result that the corresponding respectively flow velocity ratio of cross hairs, solid line and dotted line is 4:2:1, choose that the reasonable zone of the linearity is as slope computer capacity (being that ordinate value is the scope between 0.2~0.8) between two horizontal dotted lines, the inverse of the slope of three's correspondence (is the transition time
) ratio be 19:10:6, the ratio of transverse flow speed is that 1:1.9:3.2 and flow velocity are identical substantially.
Compared with prior art, the present invention has following remarkable result:
(1) the present invention proposes a kind of computation model of flow velocity cross stream component, intermittently pass in and out the low frequency Fluctuation Calculation flow velocity of surveying the backscattering light intensity signal that the light focal spot causes by erythrocyte, the method of the high frequency Fluctuation Calculation flow velocity that causes by Doppler effect that replaces using at present, make minimum requirements be reduced to 500HZ, thereby reduced requirement CMOS camera and data transmission and processing speed by existing 20KHZ to CMOS camera frame frequency.
What (2) this method was measured is the flow velocity cross stream component, and Doppler's method is measured is the flow velocity longitudinal component, body surface shallow-layer blood vessel major part all be and body surface near parallel distribution, the flow velocity cross stream component be subjected to doppler angle probabilistic influence less, thereby, more approaching real blood flow rate.
