Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the field of photoacoustic imaging technology, and in particular relates to a handheld photoacoustic multimodal blood vessel puncture and tissue damage diagnosis system and device. Background Art

[0002] In clinical nursing and emergency treatment, venipuncture is one of the most common yet most experience-dependent invasive procedures. Existing technologies primarily rely on nurses' visual observation, palpation, or the use of traditional transmissive venography devices. However, due to limitations such as skin pigmentation, hair, subcutaneous fat thickness, and ambient light interference, the venous visualization at the puncture site is often unclear, resulting in a low first-time puncture success rate. Repeated punctures not only increase patient pain but may also cause complications such as phlebitis, hematoma, and nerve damage. The problem of "repeated venipuncture failures" is particularly prominent in pediatric, obese, elderly, and hypovolemic patients, and has become a key bottleneck affecting medical efficiency and patient satisfaction.

[0003] Pressure injuries (pressure ulcers) and subcutaneous congestion are common complications for patients who are bedridden for extended periods, undergo postoperative immobilization, or require anticoagulation. Currently, clinical risk assessment relies on regular inspection or palpation by nurses. However, early manifestations of pressure injuries are limited to localized congestion or occult ischemia, making them difficult to detect with the naked eye. Subcutaneous congestion, due to the spread of the hematoma to deeper layers, often extends beyond the visible area of ​​the body, leading to the dilemma of "difficulty in early detection and inaccurate assessment of the extent of the injury." While traditional ultrasound can assist in diagnosis, it relies on specialized operators, and the bulky equipment makes continuous bedside monitoring difficult.

[0004] Photoacoustic imaging (PAI) utilizes the physical mechanism of "light excitation and acoustic detection" to simultaneously acquire multi-parameter images such as hemoglobin concentration, oxygen saturation, and lipid content, offering the advantages of high optical contrast and deep acoustic penetration. In recent years, multispectral photoacoustic imaging (MSPAI) has achieved quantitative analysis of vascular networks, blood oxygen distribution, and tissue composition by projecting multi-wavelength pulsed lasers in time-sharing or parallel fashion. Theoretically, it can provide real-time three-dimensional positioning of blood vessels for venipuncture and early functional warnings for pressure injuries and subcutaneous congestion. However, existing photoacoustic systems are mostly desktop or cart-based, bulky, with complex optical fibers and high costs, making it difficult to meet the urgent clinical demand for "handheld, bedside, and immediate" capabilities.

[0005] The paper (Liu Qiang, Jin Tian, ​​Chen Qian, Xi Lei. Research Progress of Miniaturized Photoacoustic Imaging Technology in Biomedical Field[J]. Chinese Journal of Lasers, 2020, 47(2): 0207019.) discloses a handheld multispectral photoacoustic imaging technology that can be used for vascular imaging in clinical practice. It can distinguish blood vessels with a diameter as small as 100 microns and a depth of less than 1 centimeter and provide hemoglobin oxygen saturation and pulsation information. However, this technology can only achieve static imaging and cannot be used to assess tissue damage. Therefore, the relevant technology needs to be further improved. Summary of the Invention

[0028] 2. Core Algorithm 1. Vascular puncture navigation algorithm (1) Dynamic elastic navigation model The specific structure of the dynamic elastic navigation model in the vascular puncture navigation algorithm of the present invention is as follows: The input module is configured to perform blood vessel contour extraction (Canny edge detection) through the original photoacoustic signal.

[0029] The data processing module is configured to import the extracted blood vessel contour and other information into the deformation differential equation and obtain the optimal puncture angle through the path optimization algorithm. .

[0030] The present invention is based on Fung's quasi-linear viscoelasticity theory based on biomechanics: It is simplified into a real-time calculation model to calculate the dynamic elastic modulus (kPa) of the blood vessel wall. : in, P represents the blood pressure of the blood vessel (estimated by the photoacoustic pulsation signal); r : vessel radius; h : wall thickness; is the viscosity coefficient (human plasma viscosity), the default value is 0.12 Pa·s.

The two sets of intensities mentioned above primarily include the absorption contributions of three substances: Hb (deoxyhemoglobin), HbO2 (oxyhemoglobin), and collagen. By solving the linear equations using least squares, the unit extinction coefficients of the three substances at each wavelength were calculated: A = np.array([[220, 80, 5], # 532nm: Hb, HbO2, Collagen [35, 40, 185]]) # 850nm: Hb, HbO2, Collagen Then, the least squares method is used to inversely solve the mixed photoacoustic signal measured at the two wavelengths into the concentration vectors of the three substances: concentrations = np.linalg.lstsq(A, [signal_532, signal_850], rcond=None)[0] return concentrations # [C_Hb, C_HbO2, C_Collagen] 2) Step 2: Spatiotemporal Gradient Calculation Sobel gradient: grad_C = cv2.Sobel(collagen_map, cv2.CV_64F, 1, 1, ksize=3) Central difference (Delta t = 0.1s): dH_dt = (Hb_map[t+1] - Hb_map[t-1]) / 0.2 3) Step 3: DDI synthesis DDI_map = np.linalg.norm(grad_C, axis=2) * np.sqrt(np.abs(dH_dt)) 4) Step 4: Risk classification risk_mask = (DDI_map>2.5) | (VSI_map<0.2).

[0047] 2, Pressure Injury Index (PDI) PDI = R x (Tissue Hardness / 10) Where R represents the hemoglobin / collagen concentration ratio. Clinical significance: R>1 indicates hemoglobin enrichment (acute injury), R<0.3 indicates collagen dominance (healthy tissue).

Start scanning: the system is initialized and enters the working state.

[0054] S2.

S3, dual wavelength fusion calculation of hemoglobin / collagen concentration ratio R; S4. Elastic feedback decision: It is used to obtain tissue elasticity information in real time, combining the hemoglobin / collagen concentration ratio R and the damage area heat map output by the image processing module with the tissue damage diffusion coefficient and pressure injury index to output elasticity feedback decision; S5. Intelligent decision output: The risk area for damage spread is marked according to the tissue damage diffusion coefficient and pressure injury index, and different color warnings are prompted: when PDI>0.8, AR glasses mark the red warning area.

[0055] The beneficial effects of the present invention are demonstrated by experimental examples below.
