Description

Multi-mode broad spectrum endoscopic imaging device and imaging method
Technical Field
The application relates to the technical field of medical instruments, in particular to an imaging catheter, a multi-mode broad-spectrum endoscopic imaging device and an imaging method.
Background
Ischemic cardiovascular disease, including coronary heart disease (Coronary Heart Disease) and Stroke (Stroke), remains the leading cause of highest morbidity and mortality worldwide. In the etiology framework of these diseases, atherosclerosis is considered to be the leading cause of serious clinical events. The previous studies on the size of atherosclerotic plaques and the concomitant narrowing of the lumen have been key to basic studies, while in recent years the trend of research has been gradually toward vulnerable studies on plaques. Functional intravascular imaging techniques, such as Near infrared fluorescence imaging (Near-infrared Fluorescence, NIRF), near infrared spectroscopy imaging (Near-infrared Spectrum, NIRS), and fluorescence lifetime imaging (Fluorescence Lifetime Imaging, FLIM), are important functional imaging tools for studying vulnerable plaque. The content of a specific component in the plaque reflects the stability of the plaque to some extent. The components can be labeled by using specific fluorescent targeting materials, or the reflection spectrum and autofluorescence lifetime can be detected without the label, which can be the target of functional imaging for detecting the component content. Internationally, a plurality of subject groups have developed the exploration of plaque vulnerability by a functional imaging technology, and korean Gao Lida science Sunwon Kim et al, uses indocyanine green as a fluorescent dye to characterize lipid components and foam cells in plaque, adopts NIRF technology to collect and emit fluorescence, and successfully obtains quantitative inflammation information of plaque in blood vessel; the Harvard medical institute Tetsuya Hara et al autonomously constructed a fluorescent dye-FTP 11-Cy7 targeting fibrotic tissue to characterize recovery of endothelial lesions and whether stable; clinical studies were conducted on 244 patients based on the untagged NIRS technique by Kosei Terda et al, university of medical science, japan and singer county, which found that the NIRS technique could effectively distinguish plaque damage, plaque erosion and plaque nodules; also, korean Gao Lida, sunwon Kim et al developed a multispectral FLIM technique in recent two years, and detected the time of lipid, fibrotic tissue and macrophage falling back from the excited state to the ground state with high time resolution by using a spectral measurement of a plurality of bands, thereby quantitatively detecting the contents of the three, and achieving the purpose of researching plaque vulnerability.
Chinese patent application number CN201310261923.8, entitled "endoscope-based multispectral imaging systems and methods", discloses an endoscope-based multispectral imaging system and method. The invention utilizes the multispectral conversion module to realize the function of imaging different spectral bands, and effectively solves the problem that most of endoscope products in the market only can see fluorescent images or visible light images and cannot see multispectral images. However, the invention only focuses on coupling fluorescence imaging with visible light imaging, and does not involve switching of multiple functional imaging modes, so that certain limitations exist in application.
The invention discloses a multiband multimode photoacoustic ophthalmic imaging system, which is based on a multiband photoacoustic imaging technology and realizes multifunctional imaging of fundus choroid and retina. However, the invention adopts the photoacoustic imaging technology, and the photoacoustic technology has time sequence limitation when performing functional imaging, namely, the multifunctional imaging cannot be performed synchronously, and particularly has certain limitation when being used for intravascular rapid functional imaging.
The invention discloses a multi-mode optical imaging system, which simultaneously utilizes optical coherence tomography imaging, laser scanning confocal microscopic imaging and stimulated emission loss microscopic imaging by multiplexing and integrating devices of three different optical imaging systems. However, the system device is complex, the micro-catheter endoscope cannot be realized, fluorescence microscopy imaging is involved, the functional imaging visual field is limited, and the functional change of the region of interest cannot be evaluated in the endoscopic imaging of a large imaging visual field.
These techniques can be studied on quantitative analysis of certain substances by their respective advantages, however, in practical applications, NIRF techniques cannot inject multiple fluorescent dyes, which makes it difficult to detect multiple substance components simultaneously, NIRS techniques are limited to lipid analysis of vulnerable plaques, and FLIM techniques have difficulty in accurately detecting certain components with low content.
