OCT miniature imaging is popped one's head in
Technical field
this utility model relates to a kind of medical apparatus and instruments, especially a kind of medical inspection fibre-optical probe, relates to a kind of OCT miniature imaging particularly and pops one's head in.
Background technology
means of optical coherence tomography (Optical Coherence Tomography, OCT) be a kind of imaging technique developed rapidly for nearly ten years, it utilizes the ultimate principle of weak coherent light interferometer, detect biological tissue different depth aspect to the back-reflection of incident weak coherent light or scattered signal several times, by scanning, biological tissue's two dimension or three dimensional structure image can be obtained.
OCT is a kind of new optical diagnostic method, can carry out contactless, the Noninvasive fault imaging of live body ocular tissue microscopic structure.OCT is ultrasonic optical analog product, but its azimuthal resolution depends on the coherence of light source, 10 μm can be reached, and penetration depth is hardly by the restriction of the transparent refracting media of eye, observable anterior ocular segment, can show again the morphosis of oculi posterior segment, within the eye the diagnosis of disease especially retinal diseases, the aspect such as follow-up observation and treatment effectiveness evaluation has a good application prospect.
OCT is the new technique being applied to ophthalmology recent years.OCT is a kind of noncontact, high-resolution chromatography and biological microscope imaging device.The live body that it can be used for a rear section structure (comprising retina, retinal nerve fibre layer, macula lutea and optic disc) is checked, axial tomography and measurement, be particularly useful as to help to detect and the diagnostic device of management ophthalmic (including but not limited to macular hole, cystoid macular edema, diabetic retinopathy, senile degeneration of macula and glaucoma).OCT is divided into time domain and frequency domain two class now, respectively has pluses and minuses.Time domain OCT cost performance is high, has been enough to the inspection of most of optical fundus and glaucoma disease and Technical comparing is ripe, and it utilizes near infrared ray and principle of optical interference to carry out imaging to biological tissue.The light that light source briefly sends by the principle of interference imaging is exactly divided into two bundles, is a branch ofly transmitted into testee (vascular tissue), and this section of light beam is called as signal arm, and another bundle, to reference to illuminator, is called reference arm.Then from tissue (signal arm) and the two-beam Signal averaging that reflects from illuminator (reference arm).But when signal arm is consistent with the length of reference arm, will interfere.The optical signal reflected from tissue shows different strong and weak with the shape of tissue.It is superposed with the reference optical signal of returning from mirror reflection, and when light wave fixed point is consistent, signal strengthens (increase and interfere), signal weakening (cut down and interfere) when light wave fixed point direction is contrary.Due to interfere only occur in signal arm identical with reference arm length time, so change the position of illuminator, just change the length of reference arm, then can obtain the signal of the tissue of different depth.These optical signals just can obtain organizing faultage image through computer disposal.Current OCT is divided into two large classes: time domain OCT (TD-OCT) and frequency domain OCT(FD-OCT).In coronary artery, the modal form of OCT is time domain OCT (TD-OCT).Time domain OCT is that the optical signal reflected from tissue is at one time superposed, interfered with the optical signal returned with reference to mirror reflection, then imaging.The feature of frequency domain OCT is maintaining static with reference to illuminator of reference arm, realizes the interference of signal by changing light source light wave frequency.FD-OCT is divided into two kinds: (1) laser scanning OCT(SS-OCT), this OCT utilizes wavelength variable LASER Light Source to launch the light wave of different wave length; (2) spectrum OCT(SD-OCT), it utilizes the spectrophotometer of high image resolution to be separated the light wave of different wave length.The near infrared ray sent from light source arrives tissue by optical fiber and probe.The light wave organizing backscatter to return is by probe collection, and the lightwave signal with reference arm combines to be formed interferes, and then through computer analyzing, constructs the very high resolution image of display organization internal microstructure.The maximum restriction of OCT only has about 1.5mm to opaque organism penetration depth.In addition, because near infrared ray is difficult to through erythrocyte, OCT is to needing blocking blood flow during blood vessel imaging or rinsing blood vessel to get rid of the blood in blood vessel.The shortcoming of this method causes myocardial ischemia, and operation is more complicated, limits the clinical practice of OCT.Frequency domain OCT technology considerably improves sample rate while improving system sensitivity time domain.In frequency domain OCT, depth scan can not needed by synchronization gain by the whole depth structure (A sweep) of synchronization gain.
Just because of the advantage of OCT in Image detection field, in recent years, people find that again it has a wide range of applications in checking at angiography, intraluminal tissue (stomach), and its application will be expanded, reduce return loss and the noise of fibre-optical probe, reduce distortion, it is crucial for improving optical quality, therefore, must improve the structure of fibre-optical probe.
Summary of the invention
The purpose of this utility model be complicated for existing OCT fibre-optical probe front-end architecture, pip is many, return loss is larger, thus make noise comparatively large, affect the problems such as intracavity image quality, design a kind of return loss and noise is little, can significantly improve the OCT miniature imaging of image quality pops one's head in.
