A kind of novel pressure sensor skin capilary scanning means and system and working method
Technical field
The present invention relates to the fields OCT, especially a kind of novel pressure sensor skin capilary scanning means and system and work
Make method.
Background technology
Optical coherent chromatographic imaging(Optical Coherence Tomography, OCT)Technology is a kind of micron of fraction
The imaging technique of resolution scatters the amplitude and echo time delay of light by measurement, to obtain chromatography structure letter inside biological sample
Breath.OCT inhibits ambient noise using the weak coherence of broadband light, can get 1 ~ 2 quantity higher than traditional ultrasonic imaging
The resolution ratio of grade(μm grade), and very high signal-to-noise ratio(More than 100dB).OCT, as light source, will not be given using near infrared light
Human body brings harm.It, can also be to the effectively imaging of nontransparent tissue also, in addition to can be imaged to hyaline tissue.OCT ophthalmology,
The multiple fields application such as dept. of dermatology, intracardiac, enteron aisle, alimentary canal is also increasingly extensive.
Medically, the technology for based on tissue blood flow detection diagnose certain diseases also functions to the work of ever more important
With.Laser speckle blood current imaging technology, Doppler's OCT blood flow detections technology, the angiographic imaging based on OCT.Wherein newly go out
The existing Angiography based on OCT is novel vascular imaging technique.Laser speckle is imaged, and resolution ratio is relatively low, Zhi Nengguan
Examine bigger blood vessel.Doppler flow inaging detects, and is limited by the influence of detection angles, close to the detection angle of skin in probe
Its effect is excessively poor when vertical.Angiography based on OCT then has the advantages of high resolution, imaging is not influenced by angle.
But angiography needs probe to be affixed on skin surface in scanning process, in operation, if probe is to skin surface
Produced pressure is too small, and it will cause the shake increases between probe and skin surface;If probe produced by skin surface to pressing
Power is excessive, and it will cause the deformation of capilary under skin;And then collected vessel depth will be different strength difference,
Cause the inconsistency of diagnosis.So a kind of novel probe apparatus of urgent need can detect that probe is applied to the pressure of skin surface
Power.
A kind of novel pressure sensor skin capilary scanning means of present invention proposition and system, by probe and skin table
Diaphragm pressure sensor is installed in the light transmission piece of face contact, when pressure is more than certain zone of reasonableness(It is i.e. excessive or too small)Times
Alarm device can then sound, and pressure size of the probe to skin surface be adjusted manually, to reach the consistency and standard of OCT scan depth
True property.
Mentioned in patent document CN201310210400.0 a kind of skin area positioning device applied to blood sugar test,
Method and its system determine skin area to be measured using upper and lower plates windowed regions, to facilitate the detection of blood glucose.However it detected
Cheng Zhong then may result in system to pressure difference used in skin and change to the investigation depth of Dermal microvessel, and pressure
The deformation that conference causes capilary under skin is crossed, pressure is too small, and probe is easy to happen relative jitter with skin to be measured, to shadow
As picture quality.Woundless blood sugar acquisition, measuring device are mentioned in patent document CN203314969U, it being capable of automatic regulation of skin
The temperature of tested region, the scanning lens of the pressure being subject to and OCT measuring probes and skin tested region distance.However, should
Device can just adjust scanning lens and skin tested region distance after data acquisition, cause the operating time longer;The device
The cavity block vision used can not indicate light to position skin area to be measured by observation;The temperature control device that the device uses
The cost of probe has been significantly greatly increased with electricity driving displacement device;And the temperature control device that uses of the device and electricity driving displacement device are relatively
The big size for increasing probe.
