The specific embodiment
With reference to figure 1, the acoustic impedance measurement probe comprises emission ultrasonic transducer 1 and receives ultrasonic transducer 2, and probe fixed support 7; Measuring circuit comprises in order to control emission ultrasonic transducer 1 sends the radiating circuit part of desired signal and the receiving circuit of the emission echo signal that processing receiving transducer 2 receives.Whole probe is in order to draw final acoustic impedance Z figure.
Emission ultrasonic transducer 1 and reception ultrasonic transducer 2, the two is separately fixed at by the bottom surface is on two right-angle side inclined-planes of the italic pedestal 6 that constitutes of the rhizoma sparganic solid cylinder of equilateral right angled triangle, for convenience of description, the corresponding triangular prism bus in right angle is designated as the TL limit, two corresponding buses of acute angle are designated as LL, LR respectively.Inclined-plane between TL limit and the LL limit is designated as inclined-plane 3, and the inclined-plane between TL limit and the LR limit is designated as inclined-plane 4, and the face between LL limit and the LR limit is designated as bottom surface 8.The described design frequency scope that transmits and receives ultrasonic transducer is 0.8-1.5MHz, according to acoustics and Physiological Anatomy theory, is more suitable for penetrating in acoustic energy the skin surface of human body in this frequency range; The design distribution capacity 2000pf of transducer makes the effective impedance of the easier acquisition of drive circuit and power match.After design frequency is fixing with the design distribution capacity, according to theoretical piezoelectric processing Theory two transducers 1,2 diameter between 20-23mm, so the design long 20-23mm in inclined-plane, the wide 20mm that is not less than, the broadside of TL limit inclined surface.According to specific requirement, after theory is calculated, can obtain two transducers in italic pedestal 6 ramps 3,4 concrete position location parameter, designing two transducers 1,2 can move on the inclined-plane 3,4 of italic pedestal 6, it is gluing fixing to carry out acoustical coupling according to the experiment situation at last, finishes the overall structure typing of probe.One diameter is arranged is the straight-through bottom surfaces 8 of through hole 9 of 6mm to 5mm place, distance L L limit on italic pedestal inclined-plane 3, through hole 8 is directly linked outside the fixed support 7 by soft body catheter, is responsible for finishing to injecting the used emulsifiable paste medicine for the treatment of between ultrasonic transducer and the biological tissue surface 5.One diameter is arranged is the straight-through bottom surfaces 8 of through hole 10 of 3mm to 5mm place, distance L L limit on italic pedestal inclined-plane 4, through hole 10 in the bottom surface 8 the port of export fix an anticorrosion high sensitivity temperature transducer 11, temperature resolution reaches 0.05 degree centigrade, holding wire links to each other with the signal detection control circuit by outside the through hole 10 straight-through fixed supports 7.Be responsible for finishing detecting and inject the real time temperature for the treatment of the emulsifiable paste medicine between ultrasonic transducer and the biological tissue surface 5.The direct single face opening column type administration pond 12 close with italic bottom surface 8 areas, adhesion one bottom surface on italic bottom surface 8.Administration pond 12 selects conductive rubber to make, 12 closed ends and italic bottom surface 8 join, simultaneously corresponding through hole 9 places open a diameter 6mm hole and link to each other with through hole, be responsible for the importing of medicine, 12 open ends are to biological tissue surface 5, around thin film heating carbon film 13, area is identical with the lateral area in column type administration pond 12 on the cylindrical wall in column type administration pond 12, and the medicine of being responsible for finishing in the administration pond 12 heats.
With reference to figure 2, identical with the reflected back signal frequency because transmitting, do not disturb mutually between them for guaranteeing, need to control the time that transmits and receives signal, namely by central processing unit 21 gauge tap circuit 20 and 26 time-sharing works.Send square-wave signal at the appointed time by central processing unit 21 gauge tap circuit 20, this signal is through waveform shaping circuit 22, gives amplification at 5-20 adjustable power amplification circuit 23 doubly, behind impedance circuit 24, gives emission ultrasonic transducer 1 again.
With reference to figure 3, after reception ultrasonic transducer 2 receives signal, earlier through impedance matching circuit 25, be input to again in the amplification filtering circuit 27, purpose one is to amplify to receive signal, the 2nd, remove unnecessary noise signal, again through A/D change-over circuit 28, send back in the central processing unit 21 after this analogue signal become digital signal.Central processing unit carries out digital correlation reclaiming signal and transmitting, and obtains the ratio of driving voltage and recovery voltage, finally obtains the acoustic impedance figure.
With reference to figure 4, device for opening, program is carried out initialization, and central processing unit 21 cuts out on-off circuit 20, and ultrasonic transducer 1 stops to launch ultrasound wave, closes on-off circuit 26, and ultrasonic transducer 2 stops to receive ultrasound wave; Program internal timer timer zero clearing; When detecting when instruction of transmitting, central processing unit 21 is opened on-off circuit 20, behind ultrasonic transducer 1 one section ultrasonic pulse of emission (pulse width is obtained by Theoretical Calculation), close on-off circuit 20, program internal timer timer timer picks up counting simultaneously, when timing time reached investigation depth and wants seeking time, this relation was determined by formula (1)
t=2h/v (1)
H is the degree of depth, and v is that the spread speed of sound in skin is about 1530m/s.
Open on-off circuit 26, ultrasonic transducer 2 begins to receive ultrasound wave, simultaneously program internal timer timer zero clearing; This process is equivalent to add a window function to signal detection.When detect receive to write in reply number after, close on-off circuit 26, by central processing unit 21 processing signals, the relation according to emission hyperacoustic pulse width, intensity and the hyperacoustic intensity of reception draws final acoustic impedance figure.
