Problems solved by technology

This method has great limitations in the following cases. First, when the elastic modulus and viscosity coefficient of the normal tissue and the abnormal tissue are not equal, but the viscoelastic ratio is equal, the phase delay of the measurement is the same, which cannot Distinguish between normal tissue and abnormal tissue; secondly, when the elasticity and viscosity change respectively in the tissue variation process, and the ratio of the change is the same, the measured phase delay is the same, and the detection of the dynamic process cannot be realized

Abstract

The invention discloses an opto-acoustic quantitative elasticity and viscosity double-parameter imaging method and device. The method comprises the following steps: a laser pulse emitted by a quasi-continuous laser device irradiates a tissue sample to be detected through a focusing lens after being collimated by a collimating lens to generate an opto-acoustic signal; after passing through an ultrasonic coupling agent, the opto-acoustic signal is received by an ultrasonic detector and then transmitted to an oscilloscope and a phase lock amplifier respectively after being amplified by a signal amplifier, so as to obtain the rise time of a displacement and the phase difference of the opto-acoustic signal, and the information is stored into a computer; and the elasticity and viscosity of each point are mapped on a display screen in the form of gray scale according to a relation between the rise time and the elasticity and a relation between the phase difference and a viscosity-elasticity rate, so as to obtain two-dimensional gray scale images of quantitative elasticity and viscosity of the tissue sample to be detected.
