Problems solved by technology

In terms of imaging methods, reconstruction algorithms are generally used to reconstruct the original photoacoustic pattern, but because the algorithm itself requires scanning or data averaging, it takes a long time, which cannot monitor tissue changes in real time

Abstract

An optoacoustic imaging and tomographic imaging method based on acoustic lens includes such steps as using pulse laser beam to irradiate biologic tissue to generate MHz-class ultrasonic (optoacoustic signal), using acoustic lens to image the laser beam excited acoustic pressure of biologic tissue and the acoustic pressures of different layers on the imaging planes, detecting the acoustic pressure distribution on some imaging plane by 2D plane array of optoacoustic sensors to obtain optoacoustic signals, and reconfiguring the tissue image of some layer. Its apparatus is composed of transparent and flexible rubber layer, optical fiber, acoustic lens, 2D plane array of optoacoustic sensors, output circuit, delay-signal conversion circuit, acquisition card and computer.

Description

Technical field [0001] The present invention relates to photoacoustic tomography imaging technology, in particular to a photoacoustic imaging and tomographic imaging method based on an acoustic lens. The invention also relates to the device used in the method. Background technique [0002] Photoacoustic tomography is an effective potential medical imaging technique to detect the light absorption distribution buried in the scattering medium. It combines the advantages of strong optical contrast and high penetration of ultrasound imaging, and has become a hot research topic. In photoacoustic imaging research, short-pulse laser (nanosecond level) is used to irradiate biological tissues. Biological tissues undergo thermoelastic expansion due to the slight increase in temperature due to the absorption of light energy, and produce ultrasound. The ultrasound signal is proportional to the light absorption of biological tissues. . Therefore, the photoacoustic signal carries information on...
