Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of medical devices, and in particular to an ultrasonic cavitation monitoring method, system and storage medium. Background Art
[0002] Therapeutic ultrasound uses the energy characteristics of ultrasound to apply a certain dose of ultrasound to the lesion site in the human body, and achieves the established medical purpose by affecting the state, function or structure of human tissue through a certain biophysical mechanism (mechanical, thermal or cavitation). With the development of ultrasonic phased array and brain neuroscience, the demand for the application research of ultrasonic neural regulation technology in the fields of neurodegenerative diseases and brain diseases is increasing. Among them, the cavitation effect is widely concerned as an important factor affecting the treatment results under high-intensity ultrasound. The ultrasonic cavitation effect refers to a series of dynamic processes such as contraction, expansion, oscillation and implosion of microbubbles in liquid under the action of ultrasound. Studies have found that the use of acoustic cavitation can open the blood-brain barrier of the human brain, allowing large molecular drugs to enter the human brain and treat brain and nerve diseases such as Parkinson's disease. After injecting microbubbles into the human brain, ultrasound can target and stimulate microbubbles in a specific area, reversibly open the blood-brain barrier in that area, and thus achieve the purpose of targeted drug delivery.
[0003] In practical applications, in order to detect the effect of ultrasound implementation in the target area, most of the existing technologies use passive cavitation detection (PCD) technology to detect and receive cavitation signals (i.e., using a transducer to passively receive acoustic changes such as acoustic scattering and emission caused by cavitation bubbles). PCD technology is a single-element technology and cannot perform cavitation imaging in real time. The implementation effect can only be evaluated through cavitation imaging after surgery. This passive method cannot detect the spatial cavitation intensity distribution in real time, which is not conducive to timely and accurate ultrasonic adjustment and control. In addition, due to the inability to implement monitoring, it is easy to cause irreversible damage and has the defect of low safety. Summary of the invention

[0100] The comparison unit is used to compare and judge the cavitation imaging result with the preset value, and the cavitation imaging result includes the steady-state cavitation dose intensity value of the cavitation image and the second position information of the region of interest in the cavitation image.
[0101] In this embodiment, the ultrasonic transducer 21 is specifically a transceiver-integrated ultrasonic phased array transducer, and the ultrasonic transmitting module 21 specifically receives a corresponding control signal from the control device 1 to drive and adjust the transmission phase and intensity of each array element in the ultrasonic transducer 22, thereby adjusting the shape, size and position of the focus.
[0102] The data processing device 3 is used to set the monitoring parameter threshold; obtain the image and image information of the region of interest; compare the parameter threshold, image information, pulse information, and cavitation imaging information; if the comparison result does not meet the requirements, feedback information to the control device; if the comparison result meets the requirements, plan the target area and target point; monitor and adjust the pulses emitted to the target area and target point until the cavitation accumulation meets the monitoring parameter threshold, and then feedback information to the control device.
[0103] The data processing device 3 includes a parameter setting module 31, an image acquisition module 32, a cavitation imaging module 33, a comparison module 34, a planning module 35 and a monitoring module 36;

[0110] Example 3
[0111] This embodiment applies the above solution, such as Figure 3 As shown, CI_P is the instantaneous cavitation intensity, CI_T is the cumulative cavitation intensity, and is the time integral of CI_P from the start of calculation.
[0112] Before ultrasonic cavitation monitoring, a pulse signal of lower intensity is emitted, and passive cavitation imaging is used to determine whether the actual treatment target area is consistent with the preset position. If not, the emission parameters are adjusted according to the offset coordinates for correction. At the same time, the cavitation intensity under the emission intensity is calculated to confirm the cavitation safety threshold and the actual treatment recommended intensity.
[0113] After the calibration is completed, the target area is outlined on the B-ultrasound image and the target points are planned to open the entire target area.
[0114] For cavitation doses CI_P and CI_T, CI_P is the steady-state cavitation dose intensity, which is the average of the subharmonic and superharmonic intensities (N / 2f_0, N=2n-1, n=1,2,3,...) relative to the emission fundamental frequency f0, and CI_T is the time integral calculated from the starting time to the current CI_P, representing the cavitation dose.
[0115] When cavitation monitoring starts, there are two interruptions: 1) The instantaneous cavitation intensity CI_P at each moment is compared with the safety threshold. When it exceeds the safety threshold, it triggers the stop of pulse signal emission, and repeats the correction work after resting for more than 30 minutes. If CI_P is still greater than the safety threshold, the current cavitation monitoring process is stopped; 2) When the cumulative cavitation intensity CI_T reaches the target value, it is considered that the monitoring treatment of the target target is completed, and the monitoring treatment of the next target target is carried out.
