Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of medical imaging, and particularly relates to a full-spectrum animal in-vivo imaging device and method. Background Art

[0002] Animal in-vivo imaging technology is to apply imaging methods to qualitatively and quantitatively study biological processes at the tissue, cell, and even molecular levels in the in-vivo state. Animal in-vivo imaging technology is mainly divided into five categories: optical imaging, radionuclide imaging (PET / SPECT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), computed tomography (CT), and ultrasound imaging. Among them, optical imaging and radionuclide imaging are particularly suitable for studying molecular, metabolic, and physiological events, which are called functional imaging; ultrasound and CT are suitable for anatomical imaging, which is called structural imaging; MRI is between functional and structural imaging. Viruses can be genetically modified or chemically modified to carry specific optical molecular markers. Therefore, based on the characteristics of viruses and research purposes, optical imaging is the most suitable in-vivo imaging technology for virology research.

[0003] For example, in the patent document with the authorized announcement number: CN205622778U, named "A Multifunctional 3D Display Imaging Device for Robots", its structure is scientifically reasonable, safe and convenient to use. The 3D display imaging device in the device is set as a regular hexagonal structure, and 3D lenses are arranged on all six faces, which can capture a panoramic view and all present a 3D effect. A memory card, a USB interface, and a memory function are arranged on the device, and the documents or knowledge that need to be remembered can be transmitted to the device through the memory card and the USB interface. A photographing and automatic photo-developing function is arranged on the main control board of the device, which is convenient and fast; however, there are still the following defects: its camera is installed on a telescopic rotating shaft. Although the camera can be lifted and rotated, its tilting angle is fixed. Therefore, it is inconvenient to perform all-round imaging and photographing. For this reason, we propose a full-spectrum animal in-vivo imaging device and method. Summary of the Invention
