Embodiment Construction

[0017] The technical solutions of the present invention will be described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0018] Such as figure 1 The structure diagram of the wearable array transducer probe of the present invention is shown, which includes a bowl-shaped housing, a top connector, a transducer array, a bottom sealing ring and a rubber buckle. The top connector is arranged on the top of the bowl-shaped housing, the transducer array is evenly distributed inside the bowl-shaped housing, the bottom sealing ring is installed on the bottom of the bowl-shaped housing, and the rubber buckle is installed on the bottom sealing ring. The top connector includes a beam expander and a butt joint, where the transducer array is connected to the butt joint, and the beam expander guides the laser to uniformly irradiate the brain of the small animal. The transducer array is capable of emitting ultrasonic waves.

[0019] In this embodiment, the rubber buckle is f...

Abstract

The invention discloses a wearable array transducer probe and a small animal brain function photoacoustic imaging system. The wearable array transducer probe comprises a wrist-shaped outer casing, a top connector, a transducer array, a bottom sealing ring and a rubber buckle belt. The small animal brain function photoacoustic imaging system comprises the wearable array transducer probe, a composite cable, an integrated light source generator, a display and a host, wherein the composite cable comprises an optical signal line and a data line, a light beam expander of the wearing type array transducer probe is connected with the integrated light source generator through the optical signal line, and an adapter of the wearing type array transducer probe is connected with the host through the data line. The wearable array transducer probe overcomes the defects of the existing small animal brain function photoacoustic imaging system that the size is large, the cost is high, the special brain function imaging is not available, the small animals need to be anesthetized and fixed for observing, and the like.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of brain function imaging devices, and in particular relates to a wearable array transducer probe and a small animal brain function photoacoustic imaging system. Background technique [0002] The brain is the organ of human spiritual and intellectual activities, and the center of all human activities. Its health determines people's life and quality of life. The human brain is the most complex system known so far. Revealing the mysteries of the human brain and improving the understanding of brain function is an urgent task for scientific research and treatment, and it is also a major challenge for natural science. In the past 20 years, with the rapid development of modern physics, electronics and computer technology, brain functional imaging technology has made great progress, such as: functional magnetic resonance imaging (FMRI), positron emission tomography (PET), single Positron emission computed tomography (SPECT)...
