Description

Insertion type ultrasonic tissue hardness is obtained method and is got involved the ultrasonic hardness detector
Technical field
The present invention relates to human body physical parameter acquisition methods and diagnostic ultrasonic equipment, relate to the interventional minimally-invasive technology for information acquisition simultaneously.Be used for obtaining of cardiac muscle, trunk and other human body deep viscera tissue hardness number.Be a kind of conduit interventional technique that utilizes, obtain and analyze the stress-strain relation organized in human or animal's live body deep, thereby directly obtain the method for tissue elastic parameter and attribute.The information of being obtained is of value to assists medical research and clinical diagnosis.
Background technology:
The hardness of biological tissue is the whether important indicator of pathological changes of characterizing tissues, judges that cardiac muscle, blood vessel and viscera tissue stiffness changing have important function.Myocardial ischemia, old myocardial infarction, hypertension, arteriosclerosis, tissue canceration, tissue calcification, fibrosis etc. can make biological tissue or internal organs hardness increase, and pathological tissues hardness such as myocardium dysplasia, cyst reduce.But the increase of organizing hardness is the function of appreciable impact internal organs also.Can cause diastolic heart failure as myocardium stiffness index increase; The cicatrix that old myocardial infarction forms causes the remarkable increase of regional myocardial stiffness index and influences the contraction and the diastolic function of heart; The hardness of tremulous pulse increases infringement elasticity of blood vessels and function; " cancer " word of Chinese has stone-like to organize the meaning of cirrhosis, and the unusual increase of the hardness of local organization may be that pathological changes such as cancer has taken place.Therefore detection by quantitative tissue, the especially hardness of deep organs and tissues have important value in medical research and clinical practice.
Organize cirrhosis to occur in more in heart, blood vessel and other deep body cavity, and lack direct detection method.Obtain directly to organize hardness very important to clinical diagnosis, the diastolic heart failure that causes as myocardium stiffness index increase has 4,000,000 people at least in China, uses " exclusive method " to diagnose clinically.This passive elasticity physical features of myocardium hardness (hardness or stiffness reflecting myocardium is being subjected to stress generation adaptability to changes) is directly related with patient's clinical manifestation, but at present owing to can not directly measuring " goldstandard " that myocardium hardness lacks reference.This field scholar feels disappointed to present situation, calls new signal detecting method and standard in a hurry." sclerosis of blood vessels " this inherent pathological manifestations is not directly measurement but relies on other method to infer at present.Can be used as the important supplement that gastroscope is diagnosed in SM gastric cancer as detecting its hardness.But shortage can directly be measured method and the instrument of organizing stiffness index at the deep body cavity at present.
The at present existing coining principle of utilizing by the human body tissue is applied certain pressure, and detects the deformation quantity of tissue with means such as ultrasonic, thereby the relation detection by quantitative of analyzing stress-strain compares the method for biological tissue's hardness.Prior art is used the stiffness index of coining method appraiser soma, as measure superficial tumor and cicatrix etc., can only be at body surface, or show shallow fabric analysis by straight hard extension and measure, these instruments are held or are installed on the machinery external by hands usually, volume is greatly and inadequately dexterous, more can not be implemented in the cardiac chambers, detect in the blood vessel and in other internal organs and organize hardness to be used to assist the requirement of medical diagnosis.But not coining technology (as doppler ultrasound etc.) is indirect to the detection of biological tissue stiffness indexs such as cardiovascular internal organs, and affected factor is more and accuracy is not high.Other class methods are to use core tube technology, the relationship change of the pressure-volume of analysis of cardiac detects the compliance of ventricle, thereby assess the method for myocardium stiffness index indirectly, this method adapts to the requirement of interventional minimally-invasive, that in fact obtain is ventricular chamber stiffness index constant (constant of chamber stiffness), be not the passive physical attribute of direct reflecting myocardium, be subjected to influence such as ventricle size and not accurate enough; Especially this method can not detect the variation of local organization (as the cicatrix that forms after the myocardium infarction, tumor by local tissue etc.) stiffness index.By the retrieval of follow-up study and dynamic document, obtain method and the instrument that structural stress-strain stress relation obtains cardiovascular organization and viscera tissue stiffness index in cardiovascular and other splanchnic cavity thereby still find no to enter by conduit.Enter in the cardiovascular system generally speaking, especially to obtain information in the chambers of the heart very difficult, along with the development and the standardization of cardiovascular interventional technique, the development and design of this instrument becomes possibility; On the other hand along with going deep into to disease Pathophysiology understanding, under some pathologic conditions, press for the stiffness index that obtains the human body biological tissue and be used for assisting diagnosis, as accurately obtaining myocardium stiffness index the diagnosis cardiac diastolic function there is decisive significance unusually, " the golden index " of quantification is provided for the hardened diagnosis of trunk.
