Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the field of photodynamic diagnosis, and in particular to a fluorescence imaging method, device and storage medium based on light source filtering. Background Art
[0002] Photodynamic diagnosis (PDD) is a new diagnostic technology that allows photosensitizing substances to accumulate in diseased tissues and irradiates them with excitation light to make them fluoresce. The presence of disease and the diseased tissues can be determined by observing and detecting fluorescence.
[0003] This technology is widely used in the field of medical diagnosis. For example, in the diagnosis of tumors, photosensitizers are selectively enriched in cancer cells; then the cancer tissue is irradiated with excitation light to make the enriched photosensitizers produce fluorescence; by analyzing the intensity and distribution of the fluorescence, the location and condition of the cancer can be determined. For another example, in the process of bladder PDD imaging, blue-violet light is used as the excitation light to irradiate the photosensitizer-aggregated tissue, stimulating red fluorescence and imaging it.
[0004] However, during bladder PDD imaging, the metabolite riboflavin in urine will be excited by the excitation light and emit green fluorescence, thereby interfering with the contrast of PDD fluorescence. The existing method is to change the excitation light band, such as using 500nm as the photosensitizer excitation wavelength to reduce the excitation efficiency of riboflavin. However, changing the excitation wavelength will also cause the fluorescence excitation efficiency of the photosensitizer to decrease, and the fluorescence brightness of PDD imaging will decrease. At the same time, it will cause more loss of visible light imaging band, which is not conducive to traditional white light imaging. Summary of the invention

[0033] During bladder PDD imaging, the metabolite riboflavin in urine will be excited by the excitation light and emit green fluorescence, thereby interfering with the contrast of PDD fluorescence. The existing method is to reduce the excitation efficiency of riboflavin by changing the excitation light band, such as using 500nm as the photosensitizer excitation wavelength. However, changing the excitation wavelength will also cause the fluorescence excitation efficiency of the photosensitizer to decrease, and the fluorescence brightness of PDD imaging will decrease. At the same time, it will cause more loss of visible light imaging band, which is not conducive to traditional white light imaging.
[0034] Therefore, the present application provides a fluorescence imaging method, device and storage medium based on light source filtering. By combining a filtering module and a light compensation module, the problem of the green fluorescence generated by the excitation of riboflavin affecting the contrast of PDD fluorescence imaging during PDD fluorescence imaging is solved, while the color restoration of traditional white light imaging can be ensured.
[0035] See also Figure 1 , the present application provides a fluorescence imaging method based on light source filtering, the method comprising:
[0036] 101. Determine the working mode.
[0037] The fluorescence imaging method based on light source filtering provided in the present application is applied to a fluorescence imaging device based on light source filtering, in which a notch filter and a bandpass filter are provided.
[0038] For details, see Figure 2 The present application also provides a fluorescence imaging device based on light source filtering, which includes: a blue light source 1, an imaging lens group 2, a notch filter 3, a photosensitive element 4, a white light source 5, a bandpass filter 6, and an image processor 7.
[0039] The device has two modes: PDD fluorescence mode and photodynamic white light imaging mode. The device may also add other modes in the future, which are not limited here.
[0040] 102. In the PDD fluorescence mode, when the blue light source is turned on, the blue light is reflected by the observed tissue and then filtered through the notch filter to filter the spectrum of the green fluorescence band produced by the excitation of riboflavin, so as to reduce the interference of green fluorescence on the PDD fluorescence contrast.
[0041] When the working mode is determined to be the PDD fluorescence mode, the blue light source 1 is turned on, and the blue light is reflected by the observed tissue to excite the fluorescence of riboflavin in the bladder. The PDD fluorescence and the spectrum of the green fluorescence band generated by the excited riboflavin are collected by the imaging lens group 2.
[0042] The notch filter 3 can be used to filter the spectrum of the green fluorescence band generated by the excitation of riboflavin to reduce the interference of green fluorescence on the PDD fluorescence contrast. The PDD fluorescence passing through the notch filter 3 reaches the photosensitive element 4.

[0043] 103. In the photodynamic white light imaging mode, when the white light source is turned on, the white light first passes through a bandpass filter to increase the ratio of the spectrum of the green fluorescence band to the spectrum of the red and blue fluorescence bands, and then passes through a notch filter to filter the spectrum of the green fluorescence band, so that the light after passing through the notch filter is still white light, wherein the difference between the ratio of the spectrum of the green fluorescence band reduced by the notch filter and the ratio of the spectrum of the green fluorescence band increased by the bandpass filter is within a preset range.
[0044] In the photodynamic white light imaging mode, the white light source 5 emits white light, and after the bandpass filter 6 increases the ratio of the spectrum of the green fluorescence band in the white light to the spectrum of the red and blue fluorescence bands, the white light passes through the bandpass filter 6 and is irradiated to the observed tissue, and is reflected by the observed tissue to the imaging lens group 2, which is used to collect the white light reflected by the observed tissue and transmit it to the notch filter 3, which filters the spectrum of the green fluorescence band and transmits it to the photosensitive element 4, which then converts the optical signal into an electrical signal and transmits it to the image processor 7 for processing, thereby outputting a white light image.
[0045] The difference between the ratio of the spectrum of the green fluorescence band reduced by the notch filter 3 and the ratio of the spectrum of the green fluorescence band increased by the bandpass filter 6 is within a preset range. Exemplarily, the difference between the absorption amount of the spectrum of the green fluorescence band by the notch filter 3 and the increase amount of the spectrum of the green fluorescence band by the bandpass filter 6 can be within 10%, which is only an example and is not limited here.

Specifically, the transmittance of the notch filter 3 for the blue band spectrum and the red band spectrum exceeds the first preset transmittance threshold. And the transmittance for the green band spectrum is lower than the second preset transmittance threshold. Exemplarily, the first preset transmittance threshold and the second preset transmittance threshold can be set to 90% and 10%, respectively. It can also be set to 50%, 60%, etc., which can be set according to actual business needs and is not limited here. The setting of the transmittance can be achieved by coating the surface of the notch filter. The green band spectrum filtered by the notch filter is between 500 nanometers and 575 nanometers.
[0048] The bandpass filter 6 is highly transparent to the green band spectrum, while partially filtering the blue band spectrum and the red band spectrum. Specifically, the transmittance of the bandpass filter 6 for the green band spectrum exceeds the third preset transmittance threshold, while filtering the blue band spectrum and the red band spectrum is lower than the fourth transmittance threshold. Exemplarily, the third preset transmittance threshold and the fourth preset transmittance threshold can be set to 90% and 10%, respectively. It can also be set to 50%, 60%, etc., which can be set according to actual business needs and is not limited here. The setting of the transmittance can be achieved by coating the surface of the bandpass filter.
[0049] It should be noted that the transmittance of the notch filter 3 and the bandpass filter 6 for light with a wavelength of λ is complementary. Specifically, for light with a wavelength of λ, the standard deviation of the transmittance of the notch filter 3 and the bandpass filter 6 is less than or equal to a set standard deviation threshold. Exemplarily, the standard deviation threshold can be set to 10%, but is not limited thereto.
[0050] For light with a wavelength of λ, the standard deviation s of the transmittance of the notch filter 3 and the bandpass filter 6 is:
