Description of drawings
Relevant preferred embodiment of the present invention is to be that example is illustrated to insert cardiovascular.Please be with reference to the three-dimensional exploded view and the axonometric chart of Fig. 1 and Fig. 2 demonstration, it mainly comprises: ultrasound wave sensing cell 1, optical signal sensing cell 2, optical fiber 21, matching unit 3, absorptive unit 4, conduit 5, holding wire 6, packaging body 7.
The material of above-mentioned ultrasound wave sensing cell 1 is unrestricted, is preferably piezoceramic material in present embodiment.Optical signal sensing cell 2 is preferably the employing laser Doppler system in present embodiment, it has a LASER Light Source (figure does not show) and nine optical fiber 21.The material of matching unit 3 is unrestricted, is preferably a kind of material of tool acoustic impedance, and the acoustic impedance value of this tool acoustic impedance material and has the material of the low characteristic of ultrasonic attenuation coefficient between human body acoustic impedance value and ultrasound wave sensing cell 1 acoustic impedance value.The mixture of best product MetaCast 40l st (main composition is epoxy resin and silicic acid) or epoxy resin macromolecular materials such as (Epoxy1365-25) and powder such as aluminium sesquioxide and tungsten oxide for employing Ma Like company (Mereco Technologies Group).The material of absorptive unit 4 is unrestricted, is preferably by materials such as macromolecular material, resin and metal dusts to be formed in present embodiment.Packaging body 7 is to be conduit 5 most advanced and sophisticated encapsulating materials, and its acoustic impedance value is between human body impedance and normal saline solution, and have the ultrasonic attenuation coefficient low with have biocompatible characteristic.The material of packaging body 7 is unrestricted, is preferably polymer in present embodiment, and the best is polyurethane (PU).
In this example, ultrasound wave sensing cell 1 is eight, and be embedded in the periphery of absorptive unit 4 respectively, and be embedded with eight signal line 6 at eight ultrasound wave sensing cells 1 and 4 of absorptive units, a ground wire shared with each ultrasound wave sensing cell 1, so as for will each ultrasound wave sensing cell 1 emission with received ultrasonic signal after the signal that produced be sent to exterior display device.The periphery of eight ultrasound wave sensing cells 1 is also respectively with eight matching units 3 of resinoid bond, to form eight groups of ultrasonic array transducing modules, and in ultrasonic array transducing module peripheral group if the conduit 5 of a sheathed hollow, and encapsulate a transparent packaging body 7 at the tip of conduit 5, so that for emission and received ultrasonic signal, with acquisition painstaking effort tube wall tissue cross sectional images.
Because the impedance contrast of human body impedance and ultrasound wave sensing cell 1 is apart from quite big, set firmly matching unit 3 in the mode of sputter or gummed, reduce the difference of ultrasound wave sensing cell 1 and human body impedance, and can conduct the external ultrasonic signal smoothly to ultrasound wave sensing cell 1.Certainly, the quantity of ultrasound wave sensing cell 1 is unrestricted, is with eight ultrasound wave sensing cells 1 as an illustration in this example.
Absorptive unit 4 is the cylinder of an inner hollow, and it is mainly used to absorb the schottky noise that is produced behind 1 emission of ultrasound wave sensing cell and the received ultrasonic signal, promptly absorbs the vibrations that produced behind 1 emission of ultrasound wave sensing cell and the received ultrasonic signal.Hollow at absorptive unit 4 partly is equipped with optical signal sensing cell 2, it has the optical fiber 21 as transmitting optical signal, this optical fiber 21 is to be connected to outside lasing fluorescence source, makes outside laser signal penetrate a lentiform packaging body 7 by this optical fiber 21, to reach behind the optically focused intravasation again; Optical signal sensing cell 2 also comprises eight as the optical fiber 21 that receives by the optical signal that body fluid reflected in the blood vessel, and these eight optical fiber 21 are to be connected to exterior display device, to show the flow velocity of blood flow in the blood vessel.
Fig. 3 shows that then the present invention adopts the sketch map of sequencing contro method, t1 to t4 represents 1 emission of four ultrasound wave sensing cells and the sequential that receives, t5 represents that optical fiber 21 transmits fiber-optic signal to endovascular sequential, and t6 represents that then all the other eight optical fiber receive the sequential by the optical signal of body fluid institute reflected back in the blood vessel.Wherein, about 20 microseconds of the sequential of each action, the interval after per two ultrasound wave sensing cells 1 trigger is 5 microseconds, whole work period then is about 150 microseconds.Receive sequential because of adopting this sequential control method to control each ultrasound wave sensing cell 1 with the emission of conducting optical fiber 21, and trigger the back at each ultrasound wave sensing cell 1 and reserve 5 microseconds, improve the concussion attenuation effect of ultrasound wave sensing cell 1 significantly, make conduction optical fiber 21 do not shaken the schottky noise that is produced and disturb.
By above explanation as can be known, the present invention is that the LASER Light Source sensor with ultrasonic array sensor and laser Doppler system is integrated in the intrusive mood cardiac catheter jointly, obtain physiologic information such as blood flow numerical value in vascular wall tissue cross sectional images and the blood vessel simultaneously to reach, and need not repeat to substitute the conduit of difference in functionality.And the present invention also can determine the position of blood vessel embolism via the variation of blood flow numerical value, with the irradiation dose of indirect minimizing location with X-ray.
