Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to an optical imaging technology, and in particular to a continuous wave light source non-contact optical tomography system and a scanning method. Background Art
[0002] Optical imaging offers numerous advantages, including non-invasiveness, high sensitivity, lack of ionizing radiation, and low cost. It is widely used in areas such as new drug development, disease research, and surgical image navigation. Fluorescent molecular tomography (FMT), diffuse optical tomography (DOT), and bioluminescence tomography (BLT) are currently emerging macroscopic optical molecular imaging techniques. Compared to two-dimensional optical imaging methods, these methods can acquire three-dimensional optical properties of biological tissues or the distribution of fluorescent molecules by establishing mathematical models of diffuse light propagation.
[0003] Currently, DOT technology is primarily used in brain imaging and breast imaging. For breast imaging, when cancerous tissue becomes vascularized, the area becomes hypervascular and hypoxic due to the high concentration of blood vessels and elevated cellular metabolism. This results in stronger light absorption compared to normal tissue. Therefore, DOT technology can utilize imaging of endogenous substances within the breast, such as hemoglobin, water, and lipids, to identify differences in physiological parameters between tumor and normal tissue.
[0004] FMT is used to capture the distribution of fluorescence generated by specific fluorescent material molecules within biological tissues. The process involves implanting a tumor and a targeted fluorescent agent in a small animal. A laser is then used to scan a specific plane within the animal's area. The fluorescent agent is excited by the laser and emits near-infrared light. A detector then captures an image of the excitation light. Finally, a 3D reconstruction is performed to determine the tumor's location and distribution within the animal.
[0005] BLT uses luciferase genes and fluorescent reporter groups, such as green fluorescent protein and red fluorescent protein, to mark cells or DNA. It uses sensitive optical detection instruments to observe biological processes such as the occurrence and development of diseases, tumor growth and metastasis, gene expression and response in living animals, thereby monitoring cell activity and gene behavior in living organisms.
[0006] The basic structure of an optical tomography system mainly consists of a light source, a scanning galvanometer, a stage, and a signal receiver. Existing optical tomography systems are divided into three modes according to the nature of the light source: time domain (TD), frequency domain (FD), and continuous wave (CW); according to the relative position of the light source and the detector, they are divided into transmission and reflection types; according to their scanning method, they are divided into point scanning, line scanning, and surface scanning; according to the design of the illumination light path, they are divided into contact type (mainly using optical fiber) and non-contact type (mainly using spatial free light).
[0007] Most commercial or laboratory-developed optical tomography systems currently have the following common shortcomings:
[0008] 1. Some commercial devices, such as Perkin Elmer's IVIS system, use a mechanical structure connected to optical fiber for illumination. The interval and scanning position of the scanning points are relatively fixed, and the number of scanning points is limited. This makes it difficult to achieve effective 3D reconstruction of complex and delicate targets.
[0009] 2. Most optical tomography systems lack the ability to extract surface information and can only perform three-dimensional tomographic reconstruction on objects with simple geometric shapes (such as cubes, cylinders, etc.). For objects with complex surfaces, their surfaces can only be approximated using regular geometric shapes, which reduces the accuracy of tomographic reconstruction.
[0010] 3. Other systems acquire surface information by integrating multimodal imaging, such as MRI, CT, and ultrasound. Furthermore, some systems utilize surface information extraction modules independent of their optical tomography capabilities (e.g., by installing spatial light modulators, binocular cameras, or depth cameras). Both approaches increase system complexity and cost, and introduce new challenges such as image registration.
[0011] 4. The system designs of the three imaging modalities of DOT, FMT, and BLT are diverse, and a single system is often unable to meet the needs of multiple imaging modalities. Summary of the Invention
[0012] To address the challenges of current optical tomography systems, a non-contact optical tomography system and scanning method using a continuous-wave light source has been proposed.

[0040] The present invention is described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. This embodiment is implemented based on the technical solution of the present invention, and provides a detailed implementation method and specific operation process, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited to the following embodiments.
[0041] like Figure 1 The structure diagram of the continuous wave light source non-contact optical tomography system shown is as follows, the system includes a light source module, a scanning module, an imaging module and a control module including a processor; the light source module includes a laser 201, a coupler 202, an optical fiber 203, a collimator 204 and a focusing lens 205; the scanning module includes a scanning galvanometer 1, a slide rail 2, a 360-degree rotating stage (4, 8), a rotating stage support device (5, 6) and three reflecting mirrors (3, 7, 9); the imaging module includes an imaging stage 101, a filter wheel 102 and a CMOS / CCD imaging detector 103.
[0042] The laser 201 in the light source module emits laser light, which is coupled into one end of the optical fiber 203 through the coupler 202. The laser light is then input into the collimator 204 from the other end of the optical fiber 203 for collimation and then focused by the focusing lens 204, so that the beam is shaped into a beam with a diameter less than or equal to 1 mm and enters the scanning module.
[0043] The scanning module forms a scanning light from the shaped laser beam to scan the sample being measured on the imaging stage 101. The scanning mode can be divided into line scanning and point scanning. Line scanning is used to extract sample surface information; point scanning is used to collect tomographic reconstruction data. The scanning mode setting can be divided into transmission and reflection.

Switching between the reflection and transmission optical paths is achieved by moving the slide rail 2. When the optical path is in transmission mode, the light beam exits scanning galvanometer 1 and is directly reflected by reflector 3 and projected onto the stage. When switched to reflection mode, reflector 3, turntable 4, and turntable support 5 are moved away by slide rail 2. The light beam exits scanning galvanometer 1 and is reflected by reflectors 7 and 9 and projected onto the stage.

The laser is shaped into a beam with a diameter of 1mm by the light source module and enters the scanning galvanometer 1. Then, use the scanning galvanometer 1 to mark the calibration plate and collect the calibration images of the CMOS / CCD camera 103 and the scanning galvanometer 1. Then find the center point of the laser on the calibration image and calculate the transformation matrix T between the camera coordinate system and the galvanometer coordinate system. cg Next, collect the white light image of the sample to be tested and set the actual required point scanning range. Then, extract the calibration points on the sample stage and calculate the transformation matrix T between the sample coordinate system and the camera coordinate system. pc , and use T pc and T cgThe actual required scanning points are converted into galvanometer scanning coordinates. Then a pre-scan is performed to verify whether the marking is correct. If the marking does not meet the actual requirements, the operation is stopped and the actual required scanning point range is reset. Then the automatic pre-marking process is entered again. If it is correct, the formal scan is started. Finally, after the scan is completed, the laser is turned off and an ambient light picture is taken. The flow chart is as follows Figure 3 shown.
[0048] The DOT raw data acquisition process is as follows: set the scanning mode of the scanning galvanometer 1 to the point scanning mode and turn on the laser 201. The laser is shaped into a beam with a diameter less than or equal to 1mm by the light source module and enters the scanning galvanometer 1. The transmission and reflection scanning modes can be switched using the optical path switching unit. The computer is used to control the scanning galvanometer 1 to enter the automatic marking process, and the CMOS / CCD camera 103 obtains the scanned image. The flow chart is as follows Figure 4 shown.
[0049] The FMT raw data acquisition process is as follows: set the scanning mode of the scanning galvanometer 1 to point scanning mode and turn on the laser 201. The laser is shaped into a beam with a diameter of 1mm by the light source module and enters the galvanometer. The transmission and reflection scanning modes can be switched by using the mobile optical path switching unit, and the wavelength of the filter in the filter wheel 102 is adjusted to collect fluorescence. The computer is used to control the scanning galvanometer 1 to enter the automatic marking process, and the CMOS / CCD camera 103 collects the scanned image at the same time. The flow chart is as follows Figure 5 shown.
[0050] The BLT raw data acquisition process is as follows: set the scanning galvanometer scanning mode to point scanning mode and turn on the laser. The laser is shaped into a beam with a diameter of 1mm by the light source module and enters the scanning galvanometer 1.

The flow chart is as follows Figure 7 shown.
[0052] In one embodiment, the scanning module performs two modes of scanning. The purpose of the optical path switching unit is to act as a switch to switch between the transmission mode and the reflection mode at any time. The optical path of the transmission mode is: the light is emitted from the scanning galvanometer 1, passes through the reflector 3, and is finally emitted to the imaging target on the imaging stage 101. When using the reflection mode, the reflector 3 is removed by the slide rail switching device 2. The reflective optical path is: the light is emitted from the scanning galvanometer 1, passes through the reflectors 7 and 9, and is finally emitted to the imaging target on the imaging stage 101.
[0053] In one embodiment, the imaging module comprises an imaging stage 101 for placing the sample for examination. A filter wheel 102, which contains bandpass filters with different center wavelengths, is positioned between the CMOS / CCD detector 103 and the imaging target.

[0055] In one embodiment, surface information extraction and DOT, FMT, and BLT image acquisition are performed as follows: After the shaped laser beam from the light source area enters the galvanometer, two scanning modes can be set: point scanning and line scanning. When the reflective line scanning mode is selected, sample surface information extraction can be performed. After surface information extraction, DOT, FMT, and BLT scan data can be acquired by switching the optical path switching unit and the scanning mode of the galvanometer 1 to achieve either transmission or reflection point scanning mode.

Specifically, the computer controls the opening and closing of the laser, the scanning mode (point scanning or line scanning) of the galvanometer, the number of scanning points, the conversion of the filter position inside the filter wheel, and the camera shooting and image storage. All communication interfaces are connected by USB data cables. The control diagram is shown in FIG. Figure 10 shown.
