Description

Photoacoustic imaging device and method based on white light interference
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of photoacoustic imaging, and particularly relates to a photoacoustic imaging device and method based on white light interference.
Background
The technology of Photoacoustic imaging (PAI) is a medical imaging technology rapidly developed in recent years, and PAI combines the high contrast of pure optical imaging and the deep penetration of pure ultrasonic imaging, and is a non-invasive imaging mode which can be used for structural and functional imaging of biological tissues. The principle of PAI is the photoacoustic effect, when pulsed laser light is irradiated to biological tissue, the tissue absorbs light energy and generates thermoelastic expansion, and thus generates corresponding ultrasonic waves, and the ultrasonic waves are detected to obtain an absorption distribution image of the tissue.
At present, a contact type photoacoustic imaging technology based on a piezoelectric transducer is widely used as a relatively mature technology, which uses the piezoelectric transducer to directly detect photoacoustic signals, but since the acoustic impedance of ultrasonic waves in different media is different, the ultrasonic waves are also strongly reflected on the surfaces of the two media, so that an acoustic coupling medium is necessary for improving sensitivity and reducing loss, which also limits the application range of the technology in principle.
For the examination of special cases such as burns and brains, a non-contact detection method is required, and therefore, a non-contact detection method based on optical interference is proposed as an optimization method of the piezoelectric transducer. The method can realize non-contact and obtain sample information, and compared with a piezoelectric transducer, the optical interference detection has the characteristics of non-contact, miniaturization, high sensitivity and the like.
For example, chinese patent application No. 201510881786.7 discloses a non-contact photoacoustic detection method and apparatus based on optical interference method, and proposes a detection method based on optical interference, but the photoacoustic imaging method based on optical interference still has defects. In order to solve the problem that the intensity and the phase of the reflected detection light are weak and randomly change due to the rough surface of the tissue sample, the method coats a water layer on the surface of the sample, and the water layer generates a uniform reflecting surface.
In addition, the application No. 201910587193.8, chinese patent application, which discloses a non-contact photoacoustic imaging apparatus and method, and provides a non-contact photoacoustic imaging system and method based on 3 × 3 fiber coupler demodulation, using an optical interference method to directly detect the reflected light intensity change of the photoacoustic signal excitation point in the sample, and making the focus of the excitation light and the sample light coincide inside the sample, the absorber at the focus absorbs the laser energy to cause the optical refractive index change at the position, and further cause the light intensity of the back-scattered sample light to increase, and then using the 3 × 3 fiber coupler demodulation interference method to measure the light intensity change for imaging. Although the method solves the problem of the water layer and improves the flexibility of the method, the method still has the defects that the depth information of the interior of the sample is fuzzy at the same time, the depth information of the position excited by the photoacoustic signal in the sample cannot be obtained, the demodulation result excessively depends on the manufacturing precision of the 3 × 3 optical fiber coupler, and otherwise, a large error is generated.
