Abstract
Description
technical field
[0001] The present invention relates to measurement technology, and more particularly to a method for measuring photoacoustic signals of biological tissue with a probe ultrasonic beam.
[0002] The invention also relates to a device for use in the method for measuring photoacoustic signals of biological tissue with a probe ultrasonic beam. Background technique
[0003] In recent years, more and more attention has been paid to the research and application of photoacoustic effect. When an object is irradiated with light, its internal temperature will change due to its absorption of light, thereby causing changes in the mechanical parameters of its local area; when a pulsed light source or a modulated light source is used, the fluctuation of local temperature in the object will cause Its volume expands and contracts, so it can radiate sound waves outward. This phenomenon is called the photoacoustic field effect (referred to as the photoacoustic effect). The p...
