Description

Phase information-based method and system for removing image artifact of sweep frequency endoscopic OCT (optical coherence tomography)
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of OCT imaging, in particular to a method and a system for removing imaging artifacts of sweep frequency endoscopic OCT based on phase information.
Background
Worldwide, cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases have become one of the major diseases threatening human health, and coronary atherosclerosis is the major cause of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. Optical coherence tomography (optical coherence tomography, OCT) has the characteristics of high resolution, large signal to noise ratio and the like, is a technique for performing tomography on an object by measuring the intensity of backward scattered light of the object, can probe a biological tissue micron-sized structure, and is a high-resolution imaging technique. Is an important imaging technology for diagnosing cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.
OCT is based on optical principle imaging, one of the two paths of optical signals enters the reference arm, and the other path enters the sample arm. A low coherence signal is generated by two return light paths. Both the reference arm and the sample arm exist a combination of multiple devices, such as fiber flange connections or fusion splices. By switching or soldering these devices, gaps, bubbles or other abnormal reflections are not avoided due to process tolerances or other reasons, which can lead to signal disturbances and thus to image artifacts. Because of the special property of the sweep frequency light source, the phase information of the sweep frequency light source is inconsistent with that of the broadband light source, and the jitter phenomenon exists in the phase of the sweep frequency light source. When the artifact is removed, the effect of removing the artifact can not be achieved only by a background reduction mode. In the field of endoscopic OCT, the system design based on a sweep frequency scheme can inhibit common mode signals and amplify differential mode signals through a balance detector, but the artifact phenomenon caused by signal interference cannot be effectively inhibited.
Related researches are also carried out on the control of the phase precision of the scanning light source at home and abroad, and the method is mainly divided into two types, namely, adding MZI cascade (CN 201310020839.7-Ding Zhihua and the like) through system design, adding an additional calibration mirror device (Harvard medical college B.J and the like) on an interference arm, such as FDML mode locking technology (FUJI and the like) and gas reference phase sensitive scanning OCT method (Texas R.V and the like), and carrying out iterative calculation through digital information.
The first approach based on system improvement is high in complexity, resulting in relatively large design stability and production challenges. Another iterative method through digital information is based on a galvanometer mode, which is not applicable to an endoscopic scanning mode. Both of these schools are based on phase-purpose calibration depth and resolution information improvement, and do not involve phase-information-based artifact removal issues.
The invention provides a design method for artifact analysis and removal, which aims at different technical routes and different implementation methods, and can effectively remove artifacts through phase information analysis.

Based on the offset array, a calibration array is generated. The elements in the offset array are displacement offsets between lines, the offsets are floating point types, and floating point types are rounded to generate the calibration array.
Example 3
Specific procedures of the traversal method are described below using specific examples. For the line with smaller step degree, the traversing comparison method can be selected for solving. The traversal range is-3, -2, -1, 2,3. The method is specifically implemented by performing positive or negative offset on original data, performing phase comparison with a reference line, and when a comparison value is smaller than 0.5, considering that the offset direction is correct and recording an offset value; and integrating the offset value of each A-line with the corresponding offset direction to form a phase offset array, and performing the same operation on other A-line data in the same way. The method has reduced computational complexity relative to general methods. As shown in FIG. 6, the abscissa indicates the number of each A-line, 1-1000, and 1000A-lines. The ordinate represents pixel values whose phases are shifted in the time domain.
S3, bringing the phase shift array into the original data, and calibrating the original data by using the phase shift array to obtain calibrated phase synchronous data;
after the phase shift array is obtained, the phase shift array is brought into the original data, and phase synchronization is carried out through the operation of the original data and the phase shift array, so that the data after phase synchronization is obtained. Fig. 7 shows the phase synchronized image. Fig. 8 is a partially enlarged detail, the upper part of the diagram represents the signal before phase synchronization, and the lower part of the diagram is the signal after phase synchronization. Fig. 9 shows a graph of phase shift after synchronization is completed, compared with reference lines using all a-line lines.
And S4, performing difference operation by using the background information data and the calibrated phase synchronization data to obtain artifact-removed data.
Because of the different OCT of other modes such as sweep frequency endoscopic OCT and galvanometer, the endoscopic OCT has an optical imaging catheter portion, and when imaging, the wall information can always exist in the image. Thus, in performing the acquisition of the image, an additional setting is to acquire background image information, including optical speckle noise and electrical noise, prior to connecting the catheter. The acquired background information is calculated by taking 1000 pieces of A-line data or other quantity, and the quantity of the A-lines can be tens to thousands, and 1000 pieces of A-lines are selected in the embodiment. And summing all the A-line data and then averaging to obtain the background information.
Artifact removed data. In the step S6, the data are subjected to phase synchronization, and then the data subjected to artifact removal are subjected to difference with the background data. As shown in the three figures of fig. 10, 11 and 12. Fig. 10 shows image information with artifacts, fig. 11 shows an image with direct background subtraction (direct subtraction in the original signal domain with the original signal of fig. 10 as background), and fig. 12 shows the image with phase correction after background subtraction. It is apparent that the figure 11 image does not remove the artifacts well, whereas the figure 12 image is very clean with the background artifacts removed by phase correction.
Example 4, dual channel endoscopic OCT system setup; the method comprises the steps of adopting a dual-channel endoscopic OCT system for data acquisition, wherein the system comprises a sweep frequency light source, an optical imaging catheter, a rotating slip ring and an interference module; the system comprises a data acquisition module, a phase analysis module, a calibration synchronization module, an artifact removal module and a k-clock signal analysis module, wherein when the original data of the sweep OCT is acquired, the data are dual-channel endoscopic OCT data and k-clock data, and the data acquisition is performed by adopting a dual-channel endoscopic OCT system.
First, background data is acquired and calculated and saved.
Then, a dual channel raw data signal and k-clock data are acquired. The original data is the unprocessed A/D data acquired by the channel A channel. The k-clock data is external data provided by the sweep frequency light source module, and the data is accessed to the channel B channel.
Further, a phase comparison method or a traversal method is adopted to obtain an offset array, and k-clock phase analysis is adopted to obtain the offset array. For phase analysis of the data of k-clock, to obtain the phase information of k-clock, hilbert transform may be used to obtain the phase information and then obtain the complex signal with the phase information, and then in step S2, a phase comparison method or a traversal method may be used to obtain the offset array.
Finally, the phase synchronization and the final data after artifact removal are the same as those of example 2.
It is apparent that the above examples are given by way of illustration only and are not limiting of the embodiments. Other variations or modifications of the above teachings will be apparent to those of ordinary skill in the art. It is not necessary here nor is it exhaustive of all embodiments. While still being apparent from variations or modifications that may be made by those skilled in the art are within the scope of the invention.
