Description

Classified based on autofluorescence technology and the thyroid gland neck tissue of optical coherence tomography With identifying system and method
Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of Double-mode imaging system and methods, are based particularly on autofluorescence technology and Optical coherence tomography The system and method for analysing available Thyreoidine the neck tissue classification and identification of art is that one kind of thyroid gland neck tissue imaging is new System and method belongs to imaging in biological tissues technical field.
Background technology
In recent years, the incidence of thyroid cancer is in increase trend year by year.Partly or entirely excision is most of evils to thyroid gland Property and some Benign thyroid diseases optimal selection.Neoplastic lesion recurs in order to prevent, usually to clean the lymph node of surrounding. In thyroid operation, in order to prevent it is postoperative occur hypocalcemia need protect parathyroid gland.And since parathyroid gland is small (3-8 millimeters long, 2-5 millimeters of width, 0.5-2 millimeters of thickness), number and position not exclusively determine, and with the lymph node and fat of surrounding Fat tissue is difficult to distinguish, therefore be easily damaged or mistakenly cut off from the appearance.
In view of two demands of protection parathyroid gland and cleaning lymph node, there is an urgent need for Accurate classifications and knowledge in thyroid operation Other thyroid gland neck tissue, the i.e. method of parathyroid gland, lymph node and fat.It is clinically existing to classify and identify by first shape The frozen section method of gland, lymph node and fat and " method of drifting along " there is a problem of losing tissue sample amount and accuracy is not high.It is existing Some assists in identifying technology such as ultrasonic technique, the fluoroscopic examination based on methylenum careuleum and 5-ALA (ALA), utilizes gamma The problems such as technologies such as technetium methoxy isonitrile (99mTc-MIBI) imagery of probe are not high or toxic there are resolution ratio.
Based on the method for autofluorescence technology, parathyroid gland and thyroid gland can be excited to generate using the light of 785nm wavelength Peak value 822nm near-infrared autofluorescence, so as to sort out parathyroid gland and thyroid gland from thyroid gland neck tissue, And since the autofluorescence of parathyroid gland is higher than thyroid, so as to position parathyroid gland.But near-infrared is spontaneous glimmering Light technology can not judge whether positioned parathyroid gland is normal parathyroid gland, and can not also classify lymph node and fat.Light Biological tissue can be realized the structure imaging of high-resolution real non-destructive by learning coherence tomography, in ophthalmology, skin and Cardiological It is widely used on equal clinical medicines, the classification and identification of different tissues may be implemented.To Thyreoidine neck tissue Imaging, optical coherence tomography can not quickly position parathyroid gland the problem is that areas imaging is small.
