Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the field of fluorescence imaging technology, and in particular to a compact imaging device and method for clinical near-infrared zone II precision imaging. Background Art
[0002] With the development of modern medicine, near-infrared fluorescence imaging has been widely used in clinical diagnosis, among which near-infrared region I (NIR-I, 700-900nm) and near-infrared region II (NIR-II, 1000-1700nm) are two commonly used spectral regions. The development of infrared region I fluorescence imaging technology has been relatively mature and is widely used in medical diagnosis and clinical research, such as vascular imaging, lymph node identification, etc. However, due to the low detection depth, large light scattering effect, large tissue autofluorescence and background interference of near-infrared region I fluorescence, it is difficult to accurately calibrate the lesion part in clinical surgery, which seriously affects the surgical operation. For example: due to the scattering of light in the near-infrared region I and the influence of tissue autofluorescence, the lesion in the epidermis becomes larger. In clinical surgery, too much healthy tissue around the lesion will be removed, causing unnecessary physical damage to the patient. Compared with traditional near-infrared zone 1 imaging, near-infrared zone 2 fluorescence imaging has the advantages of small light scattering, low tissue autofluorescence, high imaging resolution and strong tissue penetration ability. If it is used in clinical practice, it will effectively solve the above-mentioned shortcomings of near-infrared zone 1 fluorescence imaging.
[0003] However, the development of near-infrared zone II imaging technology currently faces many difficulties. First, the R&D cost of near-infrared zone II imaging equipment is high and its composition is complex, including but not limited to the need for a computer host for image processing, an excitation light source for providing excitation light, a path light guide for providing excitation light, and a water-cooling machine for providing water cooling for the camera. It can be seen that its system structure and control are relatively complex and the equipment composition requires a large space, so it is difficult to apply it to the operating room for clinical use. Secondly, the R&D cost and technical difficulty of fluorescent dyes suitable for near-infrared zone II are high. However, if the existing fluorescent dyes commonly used in near-infrared zone I are used in near-infrared zone II, such as indocyanine green (ICG), the excitation light wavelength is 785nm and the emission light wavelength is strongest near 835nm. Although the fluorescent dye will also have tail fluorescence in near-infrared zone II, the fluorescence intensity is weak. Fluorescence imaging with current imaging equipment will result in poor imaging effect and low efficiency, and it is impossible to quickly find the location of the lesion and perform accurate imaging during surgery.
[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to design a compact imaging device and method that can be used for clinical near-infrared zone II precision imaging. Summary of the invention

[0043] Specifically, the split design of the imaging device in the present embodiment is only exemplary, not the only way, and can be integrated according to actual needs. For example, the display can be a touch screen integrated on the housing 21 of the host 20; the host 20, the camera 10 and the display can be integrated into the same device, and the control of the excitation light source module 13 and the drive motor and the data communication with the camera 16 can be realized simultaneously through the same main control module. The split design of the present embodiment is only the best solution designed considering the portable function of the camera 10.
[0044] In this embodiment, the excitation light source module 13 is integrated with a plurality of LED lamp beads of different wavelength bands, which are used to control the LED lamp beads matching the wavelength of the excitation light to emit light according to the light output signal.
[0045] Specifically, the excitation light source module 13 of this embodiment is a ring-shaped circuit board, and its hollow circle is aligned with the filtering position of the filter wheel 141 and the lens of the camera 16 on the vertical axis.

For example, a laser can also be used as an excitation light source and installed at the front end of the camera device 10. The design of the integrated circuit board in this embodiment is only the best solution considering the integrated design of the camera device 10.
[0049] In this embodiment, the first driving device 142 includes a first driving gear and a first driving motor. A first gear tooth is provided on the circumference of the filter wheel 141.

For example, multiple filters of different bands can be loaded on the filter wheel 141 at the same time, including at least one filter in the near-infrared zone II band. According to the band of the light emitted by the fluorescent drug, the filter of the corresponding band is selected for the first filtering, and the filter in the near-infrared zone II band is switched by rotating the filter wheel 141 for the second filtering. By controlling the first drive motor, the filter wheel 141 can be rotated to automatically change the filter according to different fluorescent drugs, which is convenient and fast to operate, and further improves the imaging efficiency; and after the approximate target of the lesion is first found by the first filter, the filter of the near-infrared zone II spectrum band is switched to accurately locate the lesion, so as to achieve the effect of quickly and accurately locating the lesion position and thus accurately imaging.

[0064] Method embodiment for clinical near-infrared zone two precise imaging
[0065] See also Figure 4 The method for clinical near-infrared zone II precision imaging involved in the present invention is applied to the compact imaging device for clinical near-infrared zone II precision imaging, comprising:
[0066] S1: The device is powered on, and the excitation light source module 13 is controlled to emit excitation light of a specific wavelength to the imaging area.
[0067] S2: Filter the excited fluorescence through the first filter.
[0068] S3: The fluorescence is collected by the camera 16 and fluorescence imaging is performed to generate image data, and the image data is processed and displayed in real time.
[0069] S4: Determine whether the displayed image is clear at this time. If it is clear, execute step S5; if it is not clear, control the camera 16 to focus and repeat the previous step.
[0070] S5: Control the filter wheel 141 to rotate until the second filter is turned to the filtering position.
[0071] S6: Filter the excited fluorescence through the second filter, and then execute step S3.
[0072] See also Figure 5 Specifically, this embodiment uses indocyanine green (ICG) fluorescent developer as an example to further illustrate that the excitation peak of indocyanine green is about 780nm and the emission peak is about 830nm. During the operation, the lens of the camera device 10 is aimed at the lesion area located before the operation; the system is powered on, and the excitation light source module 13 is controlled to emit 785nm band excitation light, and indocyanine green is excited to fluoresce (because the wavelength of the excitation light is near the excitation peak of indocyanine green, indocyanine green can absorb the maximum amount of light energy and reach the highest excited state at this time, and can achieve a higher emission light intensity with the lowest possible excitation light power); the filter wheel 141 is controlled to switch the 900nm long-wave pass filter to the filtering position, that is, to align the light source ring circuit board. ; observe the image clarity on the display screen to control the focus of the camera 16 until the image is clear (at this time, a brighter fluorescent development of the lesion will be seen on the display, but the development area is relatively large and the boundary is not clear. The purpose at this time is only to find the approximate target of the lesion); control the filter wheel 141 to switch the filter with a wavelength in the near-infrared second zone (such as a filter of 1100nm or 1200nm) to the filtering position. It can be seen from the figure that the scattering angle of the emitted light transmitted by the 1200nm filter is much smaller than that of the 900nm filter. The light collected by the camera 16 through the lens is more concentrated in the area centered on the lesion. Therefore, at this time, a fluorescent imaging area with a more accurate lesion position and clearer texture will be seen on the display.
