Description

Super-resolution ultrasonic microscope
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of ultrasonic imaging, in particular to a super-resolution ultrasonic microscopic device.
Background
Ultrasound, a mechanical wave, is generated by the vibration of an object (acoustic source) and caused to propagate through a medium that compresses and expands. In addition to the general properties of waves, ultrasound has an important feature that attenuation in human tissues such as water and muscle is small, and the ultrasound can reach deeper human tissues. The interaction of medical ultrasonic waves and human tissues mainly applies the basic physical characteristics of the interaction of sound waves and substances, has three major acoustic effects such as fluctuation effect, mechanical effect and thermal effect, and has important application or great potential in biomedicine. Traditional ultrasound has been developed to have two basic functions of imaging diagnosis and thermal ablation therapy based on the wave effect and thermal effect. The fluctuation effect can be used for ultrasonic imaging diagnosis technologies with very wide clinical application such as B-ultrasonic, color ultrasonic, radiography and the like; thermal effects can be used for thermal ablation of tumors and for the treatment of nerve core mass destruction, such as high intensity focused ultrasound.
Ultrasonic imaging, especially B-ultrasonic imaging, has been used as a main detection method for human organ diagnosis, and with the rapid development of ultrasound, ultrasonic imaging such as internal diameter ultrasound, contrast ultrasound, three-dimensional imaging, elastography, etc. has been rapidly developed on the basis of B-ultrasonic imaging. The B-ultrasonic imaging is performed by using a conventional curved ultrasonic transducer or by using a convex acoustic lens in combination with a planar ultrasonic transducer. And because the classical wave has the limit of diffraction limit, the limit is difficult to break to realize super resolution under general conditions. Therefore, the resolution of ultrasonic imaging is not very high, and the microstructure and the form of human tissues cannot be distinguished.
