διι 八2 §21 a3 各31 A4 §41 • · · • · · 含氧jk紅素As described above, the present invention discloses a portable tumor detecting device comprising a portable body for holding by a user, and the light emitting component is disposed at one end of the portable body and alternately emits a light (for example, near infrared rays). ) through the tissue diffraction, and then absorbed by the light sensing element to produce a sensing signal, because the ratio of the oxidized blood-based blood lysin and the deoxygenated blood-soluble blood lysin of the diseased woven tissue to the normal tissue is different When the normal grade is woven and the diseased tissue, the degree of light absorption is also different. 'The signal intensity of the near-infrared spectrum recovered by tissue diffraction is different. Thus, the treatment of the processing unit can determine whether the tissue has a diseased tissue such as a tumor or a cancer cell. In addition, in the present invention, the horizontal distance between the relational element and the photo-sensing element is substantially the same by y and y, and the simplification of the analysis is performed by receiving the light emitted from each of the light-emitting elements on the same reference line. It can reduce the cost of processing unit f nine lines, early (such as microprocessor). [Embodiment] One of the preferred embodiments will be described with reference to the related Japanese _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 is a schematic diagram of the appearance of a portable tumor detecting device according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention. 5 201143720 1 FIG. 2 is a rear view enlarged view of the portable tumor detecting device 1. Referring to FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, the portable tumor detecting device 1 includes a portable body η, a plurality of light-emitting elements 12, and a light sensing element 13. The portable tumor detecting device 1 is for allowing a user to hold and approach the body for detecting a diseased tissue such as a tumor or cancer. The tumor system referred to in this embodiment generally refers to a general diseased tissue such as a general tumor or cancer. The present invention does not limit the shape of the portable body 11, and can be made into a hand shape or a handle shape for the user to hold. The light emitting element 12 is disposed at one end of the portable body u. The light-emitting element 12 of the present embodiment is exemplified by a light-emitting diode (LED). The number of the light-emitting elements 12 may be greater than two. Here, six LEDs are taken as an example. The illuminating element 12 emits a ray of light in turn, and there is no specific order of illumination, which may, for example, be ordered in the order in which it is illuminated, e.g. from the top to the bottom of Figure 2. When the user holds the portable tumor detecting device 1 for detection, the light emitted by the light-emitting element 12 is diffracted through human tissue (for example, a breast) (which may include scattering). Each of the light-emitting elements 12 emits light of different wavelengths. Here, the light-emitting elements 12 emit light having wavelengths of 69 〇 nm, 760 nm, 8 〇 5 nm, 85 〇 nm, 910 nm, and 97 〇 nm, of which 69 〇 nm is For skin color correction, 760nm corresponds to deoxyhemoglobin, 8〇5nm corresponds to the parent point of deoxyhemoglobin and oxygenated heme in the spectrum and can represent the total blood volume, 85Onm corresponds to oxygenated erythropoietin, 91 The Onm corresponds to water and the 97〇nm system corresponds to fat. In addition, in order to improve the ability of the signal interpretation, the portable tumor detecting device i 201143720 further includes a filter 14 disposed on the light path of the light-emitting elements 12 to allow light to reach the light perception via the filter 14 Measuring element 13. The filter 14 of this embodiment can exclude light below 650 nm to eliminate visible light interference. The light sensing elements 13 are disposed adjacent to the light emitting elements 12. The light sensing element 13 can be, for example, a photodiode or a charge coupled device (CCD) or the like that converts light into an electrical signal. It should be noted that, as shown in Fig. 2, the center points of any two light-emitting elements (Fig. 2 is based on the second and third figures calculated above) are horizontal distances of X cm apart, and the light sensing elements The 13 series is separated from one of the light-emitting elements (which is not limited, and the fourth one is taken as an example), and X and y satisfy the relationship of χ^Ο.1*y, thereby The horizontal distance between each of the light-emitting elements 12 and the light-sensing element 13 can be substantially the same, so that the light-sensing elements 13 receive the light emitted from the respective light-emitting elements 12 at the same reference line, thereby simplifying the analysis. In the present embodiment, the light-emitting elements 12 are arranged in a row and are located on one side of the light sensing element 13. It should be added that X may be caused by manufacturing errors or deliberately avoiding design, and the latter should be considered to be the same as the concept of the present invention. In addition, the larger the X, the higher the difficulty of analyzing the signal, but X still has a reasonable range. Before continuing to explain the operation of the portable tumor detecting device 1, it is necessary to explain the case of light diffraction (including scattering). Referring to FIG. 3 and FIG. 4, it is shown that the light-emitting element 12 emits light, the light is diffracted through the tissue, and is received by the light-sensing element, wherein the tissue of FIG. 3 is a normal tissue, and the organization of FIG. It has a diseased tissue T. As can be seen from Fig. 4, a portion of the light that is diffracted 201143720 is absorbed by the diseased tissue T, so that the intensity of the light received by the light sensing element 13 is weakened. FIG. 5 is a schematic diagram of the operation of the user holding the portable tumor detecting device 1 for detecting, wherein the user performs scanning detection in a horizontal direction. In the detection, the light-emitting elements 12 emit light of different wavelengths in turn, and are absorbed by the light-sensing element 13 through the tissue diffraction and correspondingly generate a plurality of sensing signals. The light sensing component 13 is electrically connected to a processing unit (not shown) disposed in the portable body 11. The processing unit receives and processes the sensing signal. The processing unit may include a digital/analog conversion circuit. (Digital to analog converter, DAC), can convert the digital sensing signal generated by the light sensing element η into an analog sensing signal. In addition, the processing unit may have, for example, a filter circuit, a comparison circuit, and the like as needed. Here, the processing unit has a low pass filter (LPF) to divide the high frequency noise. The waveform of the sensing signal can be referred to as shown in Fig. 6 where the X-axis unit is milliseconds (ms), the γ-axis unit voltage (voltage) and FIG. 6 is exemplified by the lesion tissue. As can be seen from FIG. 6, when the portable tumor detecting device 1 is swept in the direction as shown in FIG. 5, and the scanning to normal tissue is started, there is no special change in the signal system (〇ms to 8〇〇ms). When the lesion is scanned, the signal intensity drops significantly (900ms to 1350ms), because some of the light is absorbed by the diseased tissue, and then when it is scanned again to normal tissue, the signal intensity returns to normal (iSOOms to 2500ms). ). Thereby, the processing unit can determine whether the tissue has a tumor according to the sensing signals. In addition, as can be seen from FIG. 6, the sensing signals all have the same tendency, and 201143720, for example, decreases or rises almost simultaneously, because the horizontal distances of the light-emitting elements and the light-sensing elements of the embodiment are substantially the same. of. Therefore, this embodiment can simplify the analysis and reduce the cost of a processing unit such as a microprocessor. In addition, as can be seen from Fig. 6, the waveforms of the sensing signals corresponding to all of the light-emitting elements 12 have similar trends, which also proves that only two or more light-emitting elements 12 are required in the present embodiment to determine whether or not a tumor exists. When the distance (y) of the light-emitting element 12 from the light-sensing element 13 is farther, the light emitted by the light-emitting element 12 needs to travel a long distance to reach the light-sensing element 13, which may increase noise interference and The opportunity of signal attenuation affects the accuracy, and may cause the time of the waveform drop shown in FIG. 6 to be elongated and the amplitude of the drop is small and unfavorable. And the larger y is, the more disadvantageous it is. By verification, when the distance (y) of the light-emitting element 12 from the light-sensing element 13 is less than 3 cm, the accuracy can be significantly improved. In addition, the portable tumor detecting device 1 can also have a plurality of light sensing element members 13, as shown in FIG. 7, which display the two light sensing elements 13 and the light emitting elements 12 disposed. The two light sensing elements 13 are disposed adjacent to the light emitting elements 12 and the light emitting elements 12 are substantially located at the center of the two light sensing elements 13, and the two light sensing elements 13 respectively absorb the diffracted rays. Generate a sensing signal. It should be noted that the light-emitting elements 12 shown in Fig. 7 are drawn at a relatively large scale. In fact, the light-emitting elements 12 are substantially in the center of the two-light sensing elements 13. When the user scans the tumor tissue using the portable tumor detecting device 1 having the two light sensing elements 13, one of the light sensing elements 13 first receives the light from the light emitting element 12 and passes through the tumor, which is received by 201143720. The sensing signal waveform can be, for example, as shown in FIG. 8A. When the user continues to scan, the other light sensing component 13 also receives the light emitted by the light-emitting component 12 and passes through the tumor. The sensing signal waveform can be, for example, as shown in FIG. 8B. Show. As is apparent from Figs. 8A and 8B, there is a time difference at the time point when the waveforms of the two are lowered, because the photo sensing elements 13 are disposed on both sides of the light-emitting element 12. The presence or absence of tumor and the location of the tumor can be more accurately determined by the waveforms of Figs. 8A and 8B. In addition, the processing unit of the present embodiment can establish a functional relationship between the sensing signals generated by the two light sensing elements 13 to generate a complex processing signal, and determine whether the tissue has a tumor according to the processing signals. Here, the waveform of the processing signal is as shown in FIG. 9. The processing signal of this embodiment is generated by establishing a functional relationship between the sensing signals of FIG. 8A and FIG. 8B. It should be noted that the waveform shown in FIG. 8A is generated by the light sensing element 13 disposed on the left side (L) of the light emitting element, and the waveform shown in FIG. 8B is disposed on the right side of the light emitting element (R). The light sensing element 13 is produced. Thus, the waveform shown in Fig. 9 is formed by log(L)-log(R). Thus, when the elliptical dotted line area shown in Fig. 9 appears, it is confirmed that the tumor exists and the tumor position is known. In practice, when the processing unit analyzes the elliptical virtual line region, the portable tumor detecting device 1 can beep to alert the user, and the position of the tumor is near the light-emitting element 12. In addition, the portable tumor detecting device 1 can also have a number of light sensing elements 13 greater than two, as shown in Fig. 10, which shows the arrangement of the four light sensing elements 13 and the light emitting elements 12. Wherein, the light sensing elements 13 are adjacent to the light-emitting elements 12 and the light-emitting elements 12 are substantially located at the center of the four-light sensing elements 13, and the four-light sensing elements 13 respectively absorb the diffracted rays. Corresponding to the generation of sensing signals. The sensing signals generated by the light sensing elements 13 can be omitted as shown in FIG. 8A, FIG. 8B and FIG. 9'. The following is an example of the situation in Figure 10 for tumor detection. As shown in FIG. 11A, the tumor T is located between the light-emitting element 12 and the light-sensing element 13a. At this time, the signal intensity of the light-sensing element 13a is small, and the signal intensity of the light-sensing element 13b is small, and the light is sensed. The signal intensity of the component 13c is equal to the signal intensity of the light sensing component 13d. Thus, the processing module can determine that the location of the tumor is located between the light emitting component 12 and the light sensing component 13a. As shown in FIG. 11B, the tumor T is located between the light-emitting element 12 and the light-sensing element 13c. At this time, the signal intensity of the light-sensing element 13c is smaller than the signal intensity of the light-sensing element 13d, and the light-sensing element 13a The signal intensity φ is equal to the signal intensity of the light sensing element 13b. Thus, the processing module can determine that the position of the tumor is located between the light emitting element 12 and the light sensing element 13c. As shown in FIG. 11C, the tumor T is located between the light-emitting element 12 and the light-sensing element 13c and the light-sensing element 13a. At this time, the signal intensity of the light-sensing element 13c is smaller than the signal intensity of the light-sensing element 13d. The signal intensity of the light sensing component 13a is smaller than the signal intensity of the light sensing component 13b. Thus, the processing module can determine that the position of the tumor is located in the light emitting component 12 and the light sensing component 13c and the light sensing component 13a. between. η 201143720 The position of the tumor can be obtained by the above mechanism to achieve the tumor positioning function, and the immediate guiding function can be added during the positioning process, for example, when the processing unit determines that the tissue has a tumor, the portable tumor detecting device 1 can A prompt is issued to indicate the location of the tumor or tumor. 12 is a block diagram of a portable tumor detecting device 1. As shown in FIG. 12, the portable tumor detecting device 1 includes a plurality of light emitting elements 12, a light sensing element 13, a processing unit 15, and a prompting unit 16. And a wireless transmission unit 17. Among them, the light-emitting element 12, the light-sensing element 13, and the processing unit 15 have been described in detail in the above embodiments. The prompting unit 16 is electrically connected to the processing unit 15. When the processing unit 15 determines that the tissue has a tumor, the processing unit 15 controls the prompting unit 16 to issue a prompt to indicate the orientation of the tumor or the tumor to achieve the instant guiding function, and the prompting unit 16 A horn or illuminating element can be included to emit sound or light. The wireless transmission unit 17 is electrically connected to the processing unit 15, and can transmit the sensing signals or have a tumor to other electronic devices, such as a server of a hospital. In addition, the above six sensing signals can be used to compare the signal strength to determine the tumor and its position, and the sensing signal can also use the formula to calculate the tissue components of the oxygen hemoglobin, the oxygenated hemoglobin, the water, and the fat. The data in the database were compared to accurately understand the presence and type of the tumor. The above-mentioned one of the light-emitting elements 12 (herein, 690 nm is taken as an example) can be used as the skin color correction, and the correction method can be used in two ways. One is to bring the sensing signal for skin color correction into the formula to obtain the corrected result. The components of deoxyhemoglobin, oxygenated hemoglobin, water, and moon fat.
