Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to a synchronous function-structure brain imaging system based on acoustic-electric effect. Background Art
[0002] Neuroimaging generally refers to the technology that can directly or indirectly image the functional and structural characteristics of the nervous system (mainly the brain). According to the imaging mode, neuroimaging can be divided into functional imaging (EEG, MEG, etc.) and structural imaging (CT, MRI, etc.). Functional imaging is used to show the metabolic activity of the brain when performing certain tasks (including sensory, motor, cognitive and other functions). Structural imaging assists in the diagnosis of brain diseases by showing the structure of the brain. Synchronous detection of brain function and structure is of great significance for the efficient clinical diagnosis of neurological diseases.
[0003] Due to the difference in physical properties of detected biological signals, functional imaging and structural imaging are difficult to integrate, and multimodal imaging methods have the problem of highly matching different data types. Based on the electroacoustic effect, electroacoustic imaging can use focused ultrasound to target and change the local resistivity of the brain to achieve non-invasive high-resolution EEG detection. As a potential functional imaging method, electroacoustic imaging has a solid theoretical and experimental research foundation, and has shown important application value in the detection of biological currents such as EEG and ECG. The electroacoustic signal equation shows that the electroacoustic signal is closely related to the resistivity that affects the current density of biological tissues. Different brain tissues (such as cerebrospinal fluid, white matter, substantia nigra, etc.) have different resistivities, so the distribution of brain tissue structures can be located by detecting resistivity. Using the response relationship between electroacoustic signals and EEG and resistivity, it is expected to achieve synchronous functional-structural brain imaging by only detecting EEG signals under the electroacoustic effect. Therefore, the present invention proposes a synchronous functional-structural brain imaging system based on the electroacoustic effect, which provides technical support for direct, efficient and synchronous detection of brain functional structure. Summary of the invention

Compared with the existing synchronous functional-structural neuroimaging methods, this system only needs to detect the scalp EEG signal under the acoustic-electric effect to directly reflect the brain nerve discharge function and structural distribution. It is expected to become a new type of synchronous functional-structural neuroimaging system. Further research and practice can achieve efficient and accurate clinical diagnosis effects and obtain considerable social and economic benefits.
