The invention relates to a thermoacoustic, photoacoustic and ultrasonic three-mode
breast tumor detection device and a thermoacoustic, photoacoustic and ultrasonic three-mode
breast tumor detection method. The thermoacoustic, photoacoustic and ultrasonic three-mode
breast tumor detection device comprises a pulse
train generator, a
microwave source, a
laser source, an ultrasonic emitting source, acoupler, a
detector, a
data acquisition module and an
image processing module, wherein a tissue to be detected is placed inside the coupler; energy of the
microwave source, the
laser source and the ultrasonic emitting source is radiated into the coupler; generated thermoacoustic, photoacoustic and ultrasonic signals are jointly received by the
detector; then, the signals are acquired by the
data acquisition module and transmitted into the
image processing module; the
image processing module reconstructs thermoacoustic, photoacoustic and ultrasonic images by a back-projection
algorithm to obtain three-mode images; finally, the three-mode images are superposed and synthesized on the same image. The thermoacoustic, photoacoustic and ultrasonic three-mode breast
tumor detection device integrates the advantages of respective single
modes in one
system, and can not only eliminate misdiagnosis of breast
edema,
inflammation and
fibroadenoma, but also improve the accuracy of early breast cancerdetection through combination of multiple parameter indexes.
