Definitions
- the present invention relates to the field of optical spectroscopy, and more particularly to the usage of optical spectroscopic techniques for analytical purposes.
- WO 02/057759 Al shows a spectroscopic analysis apparatus for in vivo non-invasive spectroscopic analysis of the composition of blood flowing through a capillary vessel of a patient.
- the capillary vessel is imaged by a monitoring system and an 10 excitation beam is directed to the capillary vessel in order to perform the spectroscopic analysis.
- near-infrared radiation is used for excitation of Raman scattering.
- the Raman scattered radiation is spectroscopically analysed for determination of blood properties.
- the in vivo analysis of blood has a number of advantages as compared to prior 15 art blood analysis, where blood is drawn from the arm, for example with the use of a needle, and the blood sample is analysed in a chemical laboratory.
- the transport and the analysis take a considerable amount of time, varying between two days and typically 20 minutes in emergency situations.
- in vivo blood analysis enables to instantaneously and continuously monitor the properties of blood without pain and risk of infections for the 20 patient.
- the present invention therefore aims to provide an improved method of non- invasive determination of a property of a fluid which flows through a biological tubular structure, in particular for in vivo non- invasive analysis of blood flowing through the capillary vessels in the skin of a patient.
- the present invention provides for an apparatus, a computer program product and a method of determining a property of a fluid which flows through a biological tubular structure which enables the optical detection of the biological tubular structure as well as the spectroscopic analysis by varying the numerical aperture.
- the optical detection of the position of the biological tubular structure is performed using a low numerical aperture.
- a low numerical aperture implies a large depth of field (DOF) which is also referred to as 'range of focus'. This enables to detect biological tubular structures at various depths within the DOF. For example, on the wrist the capillary vessels of a human are typically located about 60 tol20 micrometres under the skin surface.
- DOF depth of field
- the low numerical aperture is required for the optical detection step in order to enable detection of capillary vessels within that depth range under the skin surface.
- the position of the biological tubular structure which has been determined by means of the optical detection at the same time defines a detection volume within the biological tubular structure for the optical spectroscopic analysis.
- a high numerical aperture is used in order to collect as much scattered radiation from the detection volume as possible in order to increase the signal to noise ratio.
- a high numerical aperture (NA) is also required to provide a small detection volume. This is needed to collect a spectroscopic signal from blood without contributions of skin.
- a typical blood capillary has a diameter of 10 micrometer.
- aNA of 0.7 or higher enables to provide a detection volume that is smaller than 10 micron in all three dimensions.
- the present invention is particularly advantageous in that it enables to optically detect a biological tubular structure within a certain depth range under the skin surface and to perform an optical spectroscopic measurement with a high signal to noise ratio and to provide a small detection volume that fits completely within the target region.
- the optical detection and the spectroscopic measurement can be simultaneous or can be consecutive.
- an objective with a variable numerical aperture is used. The same objective can be used both for the optical detection of the biological tubular structure and for the optical spectroscopy.
- variable numerical aperture of the objective can be realized by means of a variable diaphragm, which provides the lower numerical aperture for the optical detection of the biological tubular structure and the high numerical aperture for the optical spectroscopy.
- a low numerical aperture is used for optical detection of a tubular structure within a large depth range under the skin surface.
- a high numerical aperture is used for an optical spectroscopic measurement.
- the high numerical aperture can be used to track the position of the tubular structure optically with high accuracy.
- the diaphragm is located outside the objective near one of the pupils or further away from the objective in the light path to the imaging and Raman systems.
- a further embodiment is to have different variable NA's for the imaging and spectroscopic systems. This can be done by a variable diaphragm in the imaging light path (e.g. between beam splitter and CCD detector) and perhaps a second variable diaphragm in the spectroscopic light path (e.g. between the beam splitter and the Raman system).
- a variable diaphragm in the imaging light path e.g. between beam splitter and CCD detector
- a second variable diaphragm in the spectroscopic light path e.g. between the beam splitter and the Raman system.
- the NA is not important for illumination and this has the advantage that as much light as possible is used for illumination, whereas the depth of field can be adjusted by the diaphragm.
- the maximum NA is always used for the Raman light path and only one diaphragm in the imaging path is required.
- one or two exchangeable diaphragms rather than variable diaphragms are used.
- an imaging method is employed for determination of the position of the biological tubular structure, such as a pattern recognition technique.
- confocal laser scanning microscopy CLSM
- orthogonal polarised spectral imaging OPSI
- optical coherence tomography OCT
- photoacoustic imaging is used for the detection of the biological tubular structure.
- Raman spectroscopy is used. Light from a Raman excitation laser is directed towards the detection volume through the objective and Raman scattered radiation is collected by the same objective for spectroscopic analysis. It is to be noted that the present invention is not restricted to spontaneous Raman spectroscopy but that other optical spectroscopic techniques can also be used.
- CARS coherent anti-stokes Raman spectroscopy
- infra-red spectroscopy in particular infra-red absorption spectroscopy, Fourier transform infra-red (FTIR) spectroscopy and near infra-red
- Preferred spectroscopic techniques for application to the present invention are Raman spectroscopy and fluorescence spectroscopy.
- the low numerical aperture for the optical detection of the biological tubular structure is below 0.3, preferably 0.1. This provides a large range of focus for the detection of the biological tubular structure at various depths below the surface of the body.
- the high numerical aperture for the optical spectroscopy is above 0.6, preferably above 0.8. This way a large proportion of the return radiation from the detection volume is collected which increases the signal to noise ratio.
- a second advantage of a high numerical aperture is a small detection volume that fits completely in a blood vessel.
- a movement of the biological tubular structure during the analysis is tracked.
- This enables to move the detection volume together with a move of the biological tubular structure.
- measurement errors due to a movement of the patient can be avoided.
- this eliminates errors which can be caused by breathing or other unintentional movements of the patient.
- the tracking of the movement of the biological tubular structure is performed by optical detection of the movement using a high numerical aperture for precise tracking of the movement.
- the accuracy in the z-direction strongly depends on the size of the NA.
- the two dimensional position of the biological tubular structure is determined using a low numerical aperture.
- a high numerical aperture is used for determining the position of the biological tubular structure in the third dimension, i.e. in a direction transversal to the surface of the body. This can be done by scanning through the range of focus of the low numerical aperture by acquiring a sequence of images with the high numerical aperture.
- the present invention is particularly advantageous for performing in vivo non- invasive blood analysis.
- the confocal detection volume is located inside a blood capillary with atypical diameter of 10 micrometres. When the blood capillary is slightly moved this movement can be tracked and the detection volume can also be moved together with the blood capillary.
- the invention also relates to a computer program to control the optical detection means.
- the computer program according to the invention is defined in Claim 16.
- the program means are adapted to control an objective having a variable numerical aperture to provide the first and the second numerical apertures.
- the program means are adapted to control the optical detection means for tracking a movement of the biological tubular structure while controlling the objective to provide the second numerical aperture.
- the program means are adapted to control the optical detection means to determine the depth of the biological tubular structure under a surface of the body while controlling the objective to provide the second numerical aperture.
- the program means are adapted to control the optical detection means to perform a number of imaging steps for scanning along a direction being transversal to the surface of the body while controlling the objective to provide the second numerical aperture.
- the invention also relates to an apparatus for determining a property of a fluid.
- the optical means has an objective with a variable numerical aperture.
- the objective has a variable diaphragm.
- the optical means has an exchangeable diaphragm for providing the first and the second numerical apertures.
- Figure 1 is a block diagram of a first embodiment of an apparatus of the invention
- Figure 2 is a block diagram of a second embodiment of an apparatus of the invention
- Figure 3 is illustrative of a flow chart of an embodiment of the invention
- Figure 4 is illustrative of the determination of the depth of a blood vessel.
- FIG. 1 shows a block diagram of an apparatus which can be used for determining a property of a fluid which flows through a biological tubular structure, such as blood flowing through a capillary vessel under the skin of a patient.
- Apparatus 100 has Raman spectroscopic system 102 for confocal Raman spectroscopy and imaging system 104.
- Raman spectroscopic system 102 has laser light source 101 and spectrometer 103.
- Raman return radiation is directed to spectrometer 103 by mirror 105 of spectroscopic system 102.
- Imaging system 104 has light source 107, which provides an incident light beam 106, which is directed through objective 108 to detection volume 110, which is located within blood vessel 112 in skin 114 of a patient's body.
- Objective 108 has variable diaphragm 116, which enables to control the numerical aperture of objective 108.
- Further imaging system 104 has polarizing beam splitter 109 and CCD camera 111.
- Incident light beam 106 of light source 107 causes return light 118 which is received by imaging system 104, i.e. CCD camera 111.
- Incident laser light beam 113 of laser light source 101 which is directed to detection volume 110 by mirror 115 through objective 108 causes Raman return light beam 117, which is reflected by mirrors 115 and 105 to spectrometer 103 for spectroscopic analysis.
- Laser light source 101 may operate at the same or a different wavelength as light source 107 of imaging system 104.
- a laser light source 101 scatters elastically or in-elastically (Raman) and causes Raman return light beam 117.
- controller 122 which has control program 124.
- control program 124 issues a control signal to objective 108 such that diaphragm 116 is set to provide a low numerical aperture.
- Next imaging system 104 is invoked in order to detect the position of one of the blood vessels, i.e. blood vessel 112. This way the x and y-position of detection volume 110 within blood vessel 112 is also determined.
- Control program 124 issues a control signal to objective 108 to set diaphragm 116 to a high numerical aperture.
- an imaging step is performed to find the right depth of the detection volume under the skin surface, i.e. the z-position.
- Raman spectroscopic system 102 is invoked for performing a spectroscopic analysis of return light 117. This way one or more properties of the blood flowing through blood vessel 112 are determined. So, for example the low numerical aperture is used for initial x, positioning whereas a high numerical aperture is used for the initial z- positioning, tracking and spectroscopy.
- Figure 2 shows a block diagram of an alternative embodiment. Elements of the embodiment of figure 2, which correspond to elements in the embodiment of figure 1 are designated with like reference numerals having added 100.
- variable diaphragm 216 is located between polarizing beam splitter 209 and camera 211. This way a low numerical aperture for identification of the position of blood vessel 212 by imaging system 204 is realized.
- variable diaphragm 230 between mirror 205 and mirror 115 to set the numerical aperture for the spectroscopic system 202. Diaphragm 230 is however not essential as the maximum numerical aperture is a best for performing the Raman spectroscopy.
- Figure 3 shows a flow chart of a further preferred embodiment. In step 300 a two dimensional position of a blood vessel in the skin is detected with a low numerical aperture.
- step 302 the transversal position of the blood vessel under the skin surface is detected with a high numerical aperture. This is done by scanning through the range of focus provided by the low numerical aperture in step 300,i. e. a sequence of images with a high numerical aperture is taken. Each of the images has another focus plane within the range of focus for detection of the blood vessel.
- step 304 the blood flowing through the detected blood vessel is analysed by means of optical spectroscopy using a high numerical aperture. Usage of a high numerical aperture ensures that the objective collects a large proportion of the return radiation and thus implies a high signal to noise ratio and a small detection volume that lies completely inside a blood vessel. In parallel a movement of the blood vessel can be tracked in step 306.
- the detection of the depth of the blood vessel under the skin which is performed in step 302 is schematically illustrated in figure 4.
- the two dimensional x, y position of blood vessel 212 is detected in step 300 by means of a low numerical aperture corresponding to depth of field 126.
- the z-coordinate of blood vessel 212 is detected in step 302 with a high numerical aperture corresponding to a narrow depth of field 128.
- the narrow depth of view is also referred to as "focus plane”.
- the z-coordinate is determined by scanning depth of field 126 in the z- direction with the high numerical aperture imaging. This can be done by acquisition of a sequence of images having varying positions of the respective focus planes along depth of field 228. The position of the focus plane of the image in which the blood vessel 212 is found indicates the z-coordinate.
