Description

Liquid oxygen content detection system and method
Technical Field

Background
High intensity focused ultrasound treatment requires medium water to transmit ultrasound, and uses a transducer to emit ultrasound into the focal zone of the body to perform the treatment. In order to achieve safe and effective treatment, the requirement on medium water is high, the oxygen dissolution amount of the medium water is generally required to be less than a certain value, otherwise, when high-intensity focused ultrasound treatment is carried out, the energy attenuation is high, the ultrasonic energy entering focuses is greatly reduced, the treatment effect is influenced, the treatment time is prolonged, and the treatment risk is increased. Therefore, in the high intensity focused ultrasound treatment, it is necessary to perform degassing (deoxidation) treatment on water by using a water treatment device, and then use the degassed water as an ultrasound conduction medium, i.e., medium water, in the high intensity focused ultrasound treatment.
One solution for detecting the oxygen content of the medium water is that an inspector periodically detects the medium water by using a third-party detection tool, such as an oxygen dissolving instrument.

The technical solution of the present invention will be described clearly and completely with reference to the accompanying drawings, and it should be understood that the described embodiments are a part of the embodiments of the present invention, and not all of the embodiments. All other embodiments, which can be obtained by a person skilled in the art without any inventive step based on the embodiments of the present invention, are within the scope of the present invention.
The liquid is applied with ultrasonic energy with higher intensity, and the gas dissolved in the liquid has strong blocking reflection effect on the ultrasonic, wherein part of the gas dissolved in the liquid can absorb the ultrasonic energy to expand to form bubbles, and the existing bubbles in the liquid can expand to be large enough, even the bubbles can be seen by naked eyes, and at the moment, the content of the bubbles in the liquid irradiated by the high-intensity ultrasonic is detected to detect the oxygen content of the liquid to be detected. For example, a liquid irradiated by high intensity ultrasound may be detected by the image detection device, if a certain amount of bubbles can be detected on the generated image, it indicates that the liquid contains a certain amount of gas, and the more bubbles, the higher the gas content of the liquid.

The invention also provides a liquid oxygen content detection system, in particular to a system for detecting the oxygen content of the medium water for the high-intensity focused ultrasound treatment so as to determine whether the medium water meets the requirement of the oxygen content of the high-intensity focused ultrasound treatment. Fig. 1 is a schematic view of a liquid oxygen content detection system according to an embodiment of the present invention, the liquid oxygen content detection system may include: the device comprises an image detection device 1, an image processing device 2 and a high-intensity ultrasonic wave generation device 3, wherein the high-intensity ultrasonic wave generation device 3 is used for generating high-intensity ultrasonic waves, and the high-intensity ultrasonic waves generated by the high-intensity ultrasonic wave generation device are used for irradiating liquid to be measured so as to enable gas in the liquid to be measured to form bubbles, and the liquid to be measured can be water. The image detection device 1 is used for collecting an image signal of bubbles formed by gas in liquid to be detected. The image processing device 2 is connected with the image detection device 1 and is used for calculating the bubble content in unit area according to the image signal collected by the image detection device 1.
Preferably, the image processing device 2 may calculate the bubble content per unit area by using an image processing algorithm (for example, using an edge detection algorithm or a binarization algorithm, etc.), that is, a region in which bubbles are most concentrated is set as a region to be measured on an image acquired by the image detection device 1, the region to be measured is extracted, the total number of pixels in the region to be measured is calculated and is recorded as sumAll, then the bubbles in the region to be measured are identified, the total number of pixels occupied by the bubbles is calculated and is recorded as sumP, and the content percentage of the bubbles pRate is sumAll/100%.

Preferably, the display unit may be a display screen, and the input unit may be a mouse, a keyboard, or the like.
Of course, if the position of the region to be detected can be determined, the image detection apparatus 1 may also be configured to collect only the image of the region to be detected (for example, the position of the image detection apparatus may be set), so that the image processing unit can directly calculate the bubble content per unit area in the region to be detected according to the image signal collected by the image detection apparatus.
In the embodiment of the present invention, the high intensity ultrasonic wave refers to sound intensity>10W/cm2The ultrasonic waves of (4).
The method comprises the steps of generating high-intensity ultrasonic waves by using a high-intensity ultrasonic wave generating device, irradiating the liquid to be detected with the high-intensity ultrasonic waves to enable oxygen dissolved in the liquid to be detected to absorb ultrasonic energy of the high-intensity ultrasonic waves and expand to form bubbles, acquiring image signals of the bubbles by using an image detection device, and calculating the content of the bubbles in a unit area by using an image processing device according to the image signals of the bubbles, so that the oxygen content of the liquid to be detected is determined; the scheme does not need to additionally apply chemical medicines to the liquid to be detected, does not need to electrify the liquid to be detected, and is high in detection speed, safe, convenient and low in detection cost.
Preferably, the high-intensity ultrasonic wave generating device 3 may include: an ultrasonic energy controller 31 and a transducer 32.
The ultrasonic energy controller 31 is connected to the transducer 32 and the image processing apparatus 2, respectively, and is configured to generate high-frequency currents and transmit the generated high-frequency currents to the transducer 32, so that the transducer 32 converts different high-frequency currents into high-frequency ultrasonic waves of different acoustic energies.
The transducer 32 may be disposed in a container for storing the liquid to be measured, and disposed below the liquid level of the liquid to be measured, and is configured to convert the high-frequency current sent by the ultrasonic energy controller 31 into high-intensity ultrasonic waves and irradiate the liquid to be measured with the high-intensity ultrasonic waves.
The transducer 32 is disposed below the liquid level of the liquid to be measured, so that the generated high-intensity ultrasonic waves can effectively act on the liquid to be measured, and the ultrasonic waves emitted by the transducer 32 can be ensured to completely act on the liquid to be measured. The high-intensity ultrasonic waves are irradiated to the liquid to be measured in order to allow dissolved oxygen or bubbles in the liquid to be measured to absorb the ultrasonic waves, to precipitate and expand, so that the liquid to be measured can be detected more easily, and the region to be measured is usually located below the central liquid level of the ultrasonic wave irradiation region. Thus, the transducer 32 may be disposed at the bottom of a container storing the liquid to be measured.
To allow the bubble to expand more, and be more easily detected, the transducer 32 may preferably be a high intensity focused ultrasound transducer. The beams of the high intensity focused ultrasound waves are focused, and the high intensity ultrasound waves may be parallel, and the high intensity ultrasound waves can be focused through focusing, so that higher ultrasound intensity can be obtained.
In order to ensure the detection effect of the oxygen content, the sound intensity of the ultrasonic waves received by the region to be detected needs to be ensured>10W/cm2(10 watts per square centimeter), preferably 20W to 50W/cm2
The frequency selection range of the high-intensity focused ultrasonic wave is 0.7MHz-1.6MHz, so that the gas in water has high absorption rate to ultrasonic energy.
Accordingly, the ultrasonic energy controller 31 and transducer 32 are selected to be capable of supporting the above-described acoustic intensity and high intensity ultrasonic frequencies.
Because the high-intensity ultrasonic waves generated by the high-intensity focused ultrasonic transducer are used for irradiating the liquid, cavitation can occur at the focal position of the high-intensity focused ultrasonic waves, namely cavitation bubbles are generated, and the cavitation bubbles can be mistaken for bubbles, so that the detection precision is influenced, therefore, the preferable region to be detected can be selected in the range of 2-5 cm below the focal point on the central axis of the transducer 32. Bubbles are most observed in this range and are not affected by cavitation effects.
Preferably, in actual use, an operator can control the start and stop of the high-intensity ultrasonic wave generating device 3 by controlling the image processing device 2, so that the image processing device 2 is connected to the high-intensity ultrasonic wave generating device 3, and a first timer and a first timing duration are preset in the image processing device 2.
The image processing apparatus 2 is configured to, upon receiving a system start instruction from a user, send a first start signal to the high-intensity ultrasonic wave generation apparatus 3 to control the high-intensity ultrasonic wave generation apparatus 3 to start, and at this time (i.e., when the first start signal is sent to the high-intensity ultrasonic wave generation apparatus 3), start timing by a first timer. And when the first timed period is reached, the image processing device 2 is used for sending a first stop signal to the high-intensity ultrasonic wave generation device 3 so as to control the high-intensity ultrasonic wave generation device 3 to stop.
The high-intensity ultrasonic wave generating device 3 is specifically configured to generate the high-intensity ultrasonic wave upon receiving a first start signal transmitted from the image processing device 2, and to stop generating the high-intensity ultrasonic wave upon receiving a first stop signal transmitted from the image processing device 2.
Preferably, the first timer period may be set to 2-5 s.
If the accurate oxygen content does not need to be known, the bubble content in unit area can be directly used as the basis for judging whether the medium water meets the requirement or not after the bubble content in unit area is calculated, so that whether the medium water needs to be replaced or not is determined.
Therefore, a first threshold may be preset in the image processing apparatus 2, and the first threshold may be used as a criterion for determining the content of bubbles in a unit area to determine the level of the oxygen content in the medium water, and the first threshold may be selected in a range of 3% to 20% according to different application scenarios.
The image processing device 2 is further configured to compare the calculated bubble content per unit area with a first threshold, and when the bubble content per unit area is greater than the first threshold, it indicates that the oxygen content of the medium water is too high and does not meet the requirement of the high-intensity focused ultrasound therapy, and may alarm to notify the user to replace the medium water.
In the application scenario of high-intensity focusing therapy, if the requirement on the detection accuracy of the oxygen content of the medium water is high, the oxygen dissolution amount of the medium water needs to be further determined after the calculated bubble content per unit area, which requires calibrating the corresponding relationship between the bubble content per unit area and the oxygen dissolution amount.
The corresponding relation between the bubble content and the oxygen dissolution amount in unit area can be obtained through experiments, namely, the main precision dissolved oxygen detector is used for respectively detecting the oxygen dissolution amount under the bubble content in different unit areas, and a curve graph of the bubble content and the oxygen dissolution amount in unit area is established.
The correspondence between the bubble content per unit area and the oxygen dissolution amount can be shown in table 1:
TABLE 1
Numbering Bubble content (%) Oxygen dissolved amount ppm
P1 0 0
P2 1 1
P3 2 2.5
P4 3 4
P5 5 10
In table 1, 5 sets of data were detected, and the bubble content per unit area was: the oxygen content at 0%, 1%, 2%, 3% and 5% was 0, 1, 2.5, 4 and 10, respectively. As known to those skilled in the art, any group of detection data can be taken, and the content of the bubbles in the unit area of each group can be selected according to actual needs.
The bubble content per unit area in table 1 may be divided into a plurality of sections (for example, into 4 sections), and the oxygen dissolution amount in each section is linearly related to the bubble content per unit area.
The correspondence between the bubble content per unit area and the oxygen dissolution amount is preset in the image processing apparatus 2.
The image processing device 2 is further configured to query the corresponding relationship between the bubble content and the oxygen dissolution amount in the unit area according to the calculated bubble content in the unit area, to obtain the oxygen dissolution amount corresponding to the bubble content in the unit area, that is, to obtain the corresponding oxygen dissolution amount according to the calculated bubble content in the unit area query table 1, so as to determine the oxygen content of the liquid to be measured.
If the calculated bubble content per unit area cannot be searched in table 1, determining which bubble content interval per unit area the calculated bubble content per unit area falls into in table 1, and then obtaining the oxygen dissolution amount corresponding to the bubble content per unit area by a linear interpolation algorithm according to the linear relation between the bubble content per unit area and the oxygen dissolution amount in the interval.
For example, if the bubble content per unit area is x equal to 1.5%, the slope of the curve of the bubble content per unit area and the oxygen dissolution amount in the same interval of the bubble content per unit area is the same if linear interpolation is employed. The bubble content per unit area of 1.5% falls within the block segment from P2 to P3, so that the slope k ═ y-P2.y)/(x-P2.x ═ P3.y-P2.y)/(P3.x-P2.x) ═ 2.5-1)/(2-1) ═ 1.5, the oxygen dissolution corresponding to a bubble content per unit area of 1.5% is:
y=k*(x-p2.x)+p2.y=1.5*(1.5-1)+1=1.75ppm
it should be noted that, the embodiment of the present invention is described by taking a linear interpolation algorithm as an example, however, it is known to those skilled in the art that any algorithm capable of calculating a corresponding oxygen dissolution amount according to a bubble content per unit area is within the protection scope of the present invention, for example, a curve interpolation algorithm may be used to calculate the oxygen dissolution amount, or an interpolation algorithm for more than 2 times, such as a B-spline interpolation algorithm, may be used to calculate the oxygen dissolution amount, and the curve interpolation algorithm and the B-spline interpolation algorithm belong to the prior art, and are not described herein again.
Further, a second threshold may be preset in the image processing apparatus 2, and the second threshold may be used as a criterion for determining the oxygen content of the bubbles in a unit area, so as to determine the oxygen content of the medium water, and the second threshold may be selected in a range of 3-6ppm according to different application scenarios.
The image processing device 2 is further configured to compare the obtained oxygen dissolution amount corresponding to the bubble content per unit area with a second threshold, and when the oxygen dissolution amount corresponding to the bubble content per unit area is greater than the second threshold, it indicates that the oxygen content of the medium water is too high and does not meet the requirement of the high-intensity focused ultrasound therapy, and an alarm may be given to notify the user to replace the medium water.

The image processing device 2 is used for starting timing by the second timer when the first timing duration is reached; when the second timing duration is reached, the third timer starts timing and sends a second starting signal to the ultrasonic probe 11 to control the ultrasonic probe 11 to generate detection ultrasonic waves; when the third timing length arrives, sending a second stop signal to the ultrasonic probe 11 to control the ultrasonic probe 11 to stop generating the detection ultrasonic wave; and calculating the bubble content per unit area based on the ultrasonic imaging signal transmitted from the ultrasonic imaging device 12.
Since the ultrasonic imaging device 12 (B-ultrasonic machine) also works by using ultrasonic waves, and the ultrasonic probe 11 also emits a detection ultrasonic wave with a certain frequency, in order not to interfere with the high-intensity ultrasonic wave emitted by the transducer 32, the image detection apparatus 1 (i.e., the ultrasonic probe 11) is controlled to start after a certain time interval after the high-intensity ultrasonic wave generation apparatus 3 is stopped. The time period (i.e., the second timing period) between the start of the image detection apparatus 1 and the stop of the high-intensity ultrasonic wave generation apparatus 3 cannot be set too long or too short, and if the second timing period is too long, the formed bubbles will shrink, and if the second timing period is too short, the high-intensity ultrasonic waves will be disturbed, which affects the accuracy of the detection result, and therefore, preferably, the second timing period may be set to 0.1 to 0.5 s.
Further, the image processing apparatus 2 can also calibrate the correspondence between the bubble content per unit area and the oxygen dissolution amount in advance, determine the corresponding oxygen dissolution amount according to the calculated bubble content per unit area, and further determine that the medium water needs to be replaced according to the oxygen dissolution amount. The calculated oxygen dissolution amount corresponding to the bubble content per unit area is determined, and the process of judging whether the medium water needs to be replaced is as described above, which is not repeated herein.
In embodiment 2, the image detection apparatus 1 employs an ultrasonic probe and a B-ultrasonic machine, and since the B-ultrasonic machine is used for ultrasonic imaging, the imaging effect is better than that of optical imaging, and therefore, the detection accuracy is higher, and the apparatus can be applied to application scenarios in which the gas content in liquid is strictly controlled, such as high-intensity focusing therapy.
Example 3
Embodiment 3 of the present invention provides a method for detecting an oxygen content of a liquid, including the following steps:
step a, emitting high-intensity ultrasonic waves to the liquid to be detected, namely irradiating the liquid to be detected by using the high-intensity ultrasonic waves to enable gas in the liquid to be detected to form bubbles.
Specifically, a transducer in the high-intensity ultrasonic wave generating device may be used to emit high-intensity ultrasonic waves to the liquid to be measured.
And b, selecting a certain area with bubbles formed by gas in the liquid to be detected as an area to be detected, and calculating the content of the bubbles in unit area in the area to be detected.
The area where the bubbles are concentrated generally refers to the area of the liquid to be measured, which is located on the central axis of the transducer and 2-5 cm below the focal point. Since the bubbles are most observed in this region and the region is not affected by cavitation effects. The region to be measured can thus be selected within the area range mentioned above.
Preferably, step b may specifically include the following steps:
b1, acquiring an image of bubbles formed by gas in the liquid to be detected, selecting an area with the most concentrated bubbles on the acquired image as an area to be detected, and calculating the total number of pixels in the area to be detected;
b2, identifying the bubbles in the region to be detected, and calculating the sum of the number of the image pixels occupied by the bubbles in the region to be detected;
preferably, an image of a region in which the bubbles formed by the gas in the liquid to be measured are more concentrated may be acquired by the image detection device, and a region in which a certain bubble is most concentrated may be selected from the image as the region to be measured. Specifically, the image detection device may be arranged at a position corresponding to the area range in which the bubbles are more concentrated, so that the image detection device can collect an image of the bubbles in the area range, and the user may select an area in which the bubbles are most concentrated from the collected image as the area to be measured;
and b3, calculating the ratio of the total number of pixels in the region to be detected to the total number of pixels occupied by the bubbles in the region to be detected, and obtaining the bubble content in unit area.
Specifically, the bubble content per unit area of the region to be measured may be calculated by an image processing apparatus or may be calculated manually.
The content of bubbles per unit area corresponds to the amount of oxygen dissolved, and is specifically shown in table 1. Therefore, preferably, the method further comprises the steps of:
and c, determining the oxygen dissolving amount corresponding to the bubble content in the unit area according to the calculated bubble content in the unit area.
Specifically, the corresponding relationship between the bubble content and the oxygen dissolution amount in the unit area can be queried according to the calculated bubble content in the unit area, so as to obtain the oxygen dissolution amount corresponding to the bubble content in the unit area, and determine the oxygen content of the liquid to be measured.
In the process of the high-intensity focused ultrasound treatment, the oxygen content of the medium water is constantly changed, so that the medium water needs to be changed regularly, namely the medium water used for the high-intensity focused ultrasound treatment conduction is discharged at intervals, and then the degassed medium water is introduced again to be used as the high-intensity focused ultrasound conduction medium water. However, under different environmental temperatures, the dissolution rate of oxygen in water is different, so the water changing time interval is difficult to control, the water changing time interval is short, waste is caused, and the oxygen dissolution amount is too high when the water changing time interval is long, so the requirement of high-intensity focused ultrasound treatment cannot be met. The existing scheme is that the oxygen content of the medium water is detected manually and periodically, so that the problems of untimely detection, time waste and labor waste are caused.
By utilizing the liquid oxygen content detection system and method, the water change control of the medium water can be realized. Specifically, a detection period may be set in the image processing apparatus 2, and the image processing apparatus 2 may control the high-intensity ultrasonic wave generation apparatus 3 to generate the high-intensity ultrasonic wave in accordance with the detection period.
The setting of the detection period can be different according to the model of the degassing equipment and the environment, and preferably, the detection period can be set to be 20-30 min.
When the detection period is up, the liquid oxygen content detection system detects the oxygen content of the medium water, when the bubble content per unit area is more than 20%, or when the oxygen dissolution amount is more than 5ppm, the medium water is considered to be required to be replaced, and the liquid oxygen content detection system can give an alarm.
The liquid oxygen content detection system is used for periodically detecting the oxygen content of the medium water, so that the labor cost can be reduced, the missing detection is avoided, and the timely water change is ensured in the high-intensity focused ultrasound treatment process.
The liquid oxygen content detection system and the liquid oxygen content detection method can also be used for detecting the degassing capacity of the water treatment device, if the medium water degassed by the water treatment device still has more bubbles, the water treatment device is indicated to be faulty, and the medium water does not meet the requirement of treatment water.
After the medium water is replaced, the liquid oxygen content detection system is used for detecting the oxygen content of the medium water immediately, if the oxygen content exceeds the standard, the water treatment device is in failure (degassing does not reach the standard), for example, when the bubble content in unit area is more than 3 percent, or when the oxygen content is more than 3ppm, the oxygen content is considered to exceed the standard, the liquid oxygen content detection system of the invention sends out an alarm and informs maintenance personnel to treat the water.
It will be understood that the above embodiments are merely exemplary embodiments taken to illustrate the principles of the present invention, which is not limited thereto. It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that various modifications and improvements can be made without departing from the spirit and substance of the invention, and these modifications and improvements are also considered to be within the scope of the invention.
