Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of imaging probes, in particular to an ultrasonic and optical dual-mode imaging probe for imaging. Background Art

[0002] The ultrasonic optical dual-mode imaging probe is a medical device that combines ultrasonic imaging and optical imaging technology. In the field of modern medical imaging, the ultrasonic optical dual-mode imaging probe has important clinical application value because it can provide image information of both ultrasonic and optical modes at the same time.

[0003] In the prior art, it is difficult for traditional imaging probes to meet the dual-mode detection requirements in a fixed detection space. Secondly, it is difficult to switch between ultrasonic detection and optical detection. Some detection probes that integrate the two detection functions are relatively large in size. Especially for some scenarios that require in-depth detection inside the human body, such a large size will bring great inconvenience. When the probe enters the human body, it may cause strong discomfort to the patient. The larger probe may stimulate the surrounding tissues, causing pain or other adverse reactions, and may even cause a certain degree of injury. Moreover, for some patients with weaker or younger bodies, the invasive detection of the large-size probe may make them feel fearful, thereby affecting the smooth progress of the detection. Moreover, when operating for a long time, the detection components of the detection probe continuously perform energy conversion and signal processing, which will generate a lot of heat. If the heat cannot be dissipated in time, it will cause the temperature of the detection components to be too high. The temperature increase will not only affect the detection efficiency, but also may damage the components themselves and shorten the service life of the probe. In addition, the excessively high temperature may also have adverse effects on the surrounding human tissues and increase the risk of detection. Summary of the invention
