Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of medical equipment, and in particular relates to a Raman spectrum automatic focusing system and method for detecting pathological tissue samples. Background Art

[0002] Accurate detection of pathological tissue samples plays a vital role in the early diagnosis of diseases, the selection of treatment options, and the evaluation of prognosis. Although traditional pathological detection methods, such as hematoxylin-eosin (H&E) staining and immunohistochemistry, have been widely used in clinical practice and have achieved certain results, their inherent limitations cannot be ignored. These methods are not only cumbersome and time-consuming in operation, but also have high reagent costs, which has brought a considerable economic burden to medical institutions and patients. More importantly, their shortcomings in detection sensitivity and specificity limit their application potential in high-precision and rapid detection of pathological tissue samples. In contrast, Raman spectroscopy technology has emerged in the detection of pathological tissue samples with its unique advantages. By detecting the vibration and rotation of specific bonds in molecules, this technology can reveal detailed information about the molecular composition structure and intermolecular interactions of samples, like an accurate "molecular fingerprint". This non-destructive detection method is not only highly sensitive, but also simple and fast to operate. It has shown broad application prospects in the fields of biological macromolecule analysis, pathogenic microorganism detection, and precise molecular diagnosis of tumors.

[0003] In the detection of pathological tissue samples, Raman spectroscopy technology has shown its unique value. It can quickly and accurately identify key biological macromolecules such as nucleic acids, proteins, and lipids in samples, providing strong technical support for the early detection of diseases. However, despite the many advantages of Raman spectroscopy technology, it still faces some challenges in practical applications.

[0004] Among them, the focusing problem is one of the key factors that restrict the widespread application of Raman spectroscopy technology in the detection of pathological tissue samples. At present, the focusing method of most Raman spectrometers still relies on manual operation. Whether it is holding the sample or adjusting the distance between the objective lens and the sample through a mechanical mechanism, the operator needs to judge the size and position of the laser spot with the naked eye. The final judgment of whether the focus is accurate depends on the Raman spectrum obtained by manual analysis after the CCD in the spectrometer collects the image. This mode of operation is not only inefficient, but also prone to inaccurate focusing due to human factors, which in turn affects the accuracy and reliability of the test results. Therefore, a Raman spectroscopy automatic focusing system and method for detecting pathological tissue samples are proposed to solve the above problems. Summary of the invention

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0033] Figure 1 is a system block diagram of the present invention;

[0034] Figure 2 Schematic diagram of an embodiment of the present invention. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0035] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0036] See also Figure 1-Figure 2 As shown, the present invention provides the following technical solutions:

[0037] Implementation Method 1

[0038] In this embodiment, a total reflector 1, a low-pass beam splitter 2, an objective lens 3, a focus camera 4, a controller 5 and a focus actuator 6 are provided; the green light beam G of the green light LED passes through the total reflector 1 and is reflected by the low-pass beam splitter 2, the reflected light of the low-pass beam splitter 2 passes through the objective lens 3 and shines on the sample A, the reflected light of the sample A passes through the objective lens 3 and is reflected by the low-pass beam splitter 2, the reflected light of the low-pass beam splitter 2 is reflected by the total reflector 1 to the focus camera 4, and an image is formed on the focus camera 4, the focus camera 4 collects the sample image and transmits it to the controller 5, the control signal output terminal of the controller 5 is connected to the focus actuator 6, and the driving signal of the focus actuator 6 controls the movement of the objective lens 3 until the focus is completed. Figure 2 In FIG. 1 , the symbol P represents a Raman spectrometer.

[0039] Combining the above:

[0040] Assuming that the wavelength of the Raman spectrometer laser used is 785nm, the fill light LED is designed to be green light (the wavelength of green light is less than 785nm of the spectrometer Raman laser), and the low-pass spectroscope can separate the green light from the Raman laser and completely reflect the green light. The controller contains a motion control core, the CPU runs an embedded operating system, executes an image recognition algorithm, and determines whether the focus state is accurate. The focus actuator includes a motor and a motor drive circuit to control the movement of the objective lens.

[0041] Before the spectrometer collects data, the green LED is turned on. The green light path passes through the total reflector, is reflected by the low-pass beam splitter, passes through the objective lens and shines on the sample. The image light path reflected by the sample passes through the objective lens, is reflected by the low-pass beam splitter, and then reflects through the total reflector to reach the focus camera, where it is imaged. The focus camera collects the sample image and transmits it to the controller. The controller determines whether the current focal length is correct through the corresponding image algorithm. If it is not correct, the controller controls the movement of the objective lens through the focus actuator, and then continuously determines the current focal length state through the focus camera and adjusts the objective lens until the focus is completed. After the focus is completed, the green light is turned off and the Raman spectrum is collected.

[0042] The Raman spectrum automatic focusing system of the present invention is mainly composed of a light source module, an automatic focusing module, a spectrum analysis module, a data processing module, and necessary connection and control circuits. The hardware layout is as follows:

[0043] The light source module is placed at the top of the system and uses a stable and tunable laser to ensure the output of laser light of a specific wavelength (such as 785nm), which is accurately guided to the autofocus module through an optical fiber or light guide;

[0044] The autofocus module is located below the light source module and includes a low-pass beam splitter (used to separate the excitation light and scattered light), a high-precision objective lens (used to focus the laser and collect scattered light), a focus camera (installed next to the objective lens and used to capture the sample surface image in real time), a controller (responsible for algorithm operation and command sending) and a focus actuator (such as an electric stepper motor, which drives the objective lens to move up and down to achieve autofocus);

[0045] The spectrum analysis module receives the Raman scattered light from the autofocus module and performs spectrum separation and detection through a high-resolution Raman spectrum analyzer. The analyzer integrates components such as filters, gratings, and photomultiplier tubes.

[0046] The data processing module is equipped with a high-performance computer or embedded system, with a built-in standard Raman spectroscopy database and data analysis software, and is responsible for the reception, processing, comparison and result output of spectral data.

[0047] The specific operation process is as follows:

[0048] Step 1: Initialization and setup: start the system, set the laser wavelength to be detected, and load or update the standard Raman spectrum database;

[0049] Step 2: Sample placement: Place the pathological tissue sample to be tested on the sample stage of the autofocus module, ensuring that the sample surface is flat and within the laser irradiation range;

[0050] Step 3: Automatic focusing, the focus camera takes an initial image of the sample surface and transmits it to the controller. The controller runs the image recognition algorithm, analyzes the image clarity or feature points, and calculates the focus position. The controller sends instructions to the focus actuator to drive the objective lens to move to the calculated focus position to achieve automatic focusing. The above steps can be repeated for fine-tuning until the optimal focus state is achieved;

[0051] Step 4: Spectral acquisition: the laser light source emits a laser of a specific wavelength, which is focused by a low-pass spectroscope and an objective lens and then irradiates the sample. The generated Raman scattered light is collected by the objective lens and introduced into the spectral analysis module.

[0052] Step 5: Spectral analysis: the spectral analysis module performs spectral separation and detection on the collected Raman scattered light to generate Raman spectrum data of the sample;

[0053] Step 6: Data processing and diagnosis: The data processing module receives the spectral data and compares it with the standard Raman spectral database. It identifies specific components or diseased tissues in the sample and outputs the test results. Optionally, it performs statistical analysis and generates diagnostic reports or visual charts.

[0054] Implementation method 2:

[0055] Based on the original system, this implementation further enhances the flexibility of the light source module to support laser output of multiple wavelengths. By introducing a wavelength selector or tunable laser, the user can select or adjust the wavelength of the laser according to actual needs to excite specific chemical bonds or biomolecules in different pathological tissue samples.

[0056] In actual operation, after placing the pathological tissue sample on the sample stage, the user can select the required laser wavelength through the system's user interface. The system then automatically adjusts the light source module to match the selected wavelength. Then, the system performs initialization settings, autofocus, spectrum acquisition and analysis, and final data processing and diagnostic output according to the normal process.

[0057] This multi-wavelength detection capability enables the system to be more widely used in different research fields and clinical practice, especially in scenarios where specific wavelength excitation is required to identify specific chemical bonds or biomolecules.

At the same time, the focus actuator also uses a higher-precision stepper motor and more precise displacement control to ensure that the objective lens can accurately move to the calculated focus position.

[0061] In practical applications, this enhanced autofocus algorithm can significantly improve the focusing speed and accuracy of the system, thereby further improving the quality and efficiency of spectral acquisition.

This integrated design not only reduces the steps and time of manual operation, but also reduces the risk of sample contamination or damage during processing.

[0073] Implementation method seven:

[0074] This implementation adds an intelligent recognition and classification module to the system, which can automatically recognize and classify pathological tissue samples using advanced technologies such as deep learning.

[0075] During the detection process, the system first uses the autofocus module to obtain a clear image of the sample, and then transmits it to the intelligent recognition and classification module for processing. By comparing the sample image with the image features in the preset database, the module can accurately identify the type and degree of lesions of the sample and classify it into the corresponding category. This intelligent recognition and classification function enables the system to provide test results more quickly and assist doctors in making more accurate diagnoses and treatments.

[0076] Implementation method eight:

[0077] This embodiment adopts multi-channel parallel detection technology to further improve the detection speed and throughput of the system.

[0078] In actual applications, users can place multiple samples on the sample stage at the same time, and the system can automatically assign a detection channel to each sample, and perform autofocus, spectrum acquisition and analysis, and data processing in parallel. This multi-channel parallel detection technology not only significantly improves the detection speed of the system, but also enables the system to handle the detection needs of a large number of samples more efficiently.

[0079] Implementation method nine:

[0081] The module includes functions such as temperature control, humidity control, dust and vibration prevention, and can monitor and adjust the environmental parameters inside the system in real time to keep them within an appropriate range. At the same time, the module also adopts a sealed design and high-efficiency filtering technology to prevent external pollutants from entering the system and affecting the test results of the samples. This environmental control and protection system enables the system to provide accurate and reliable test results in various environments.

In addition, the system also supports interactive methods such as voice control and gesture recognition, allowing users to operate and control the system more conveniently. This user-friendly interface and interactive design not only improves the ease of use and operability of the system, but also enables users to complete detection tasks more efficiently and obtain accurate results.

[0085] Implementation method eleven:

[0086] This embodiment integrates remote monitoring and diagnosis functions into the system, allowing doctors or experts to view and analyze test data in real time at different locations and provide remote medical consultation and diagnosis.

[0087] The system transmits the test data to the cloud server in real time through cloud computing and Internet of Things technology, and doctors or experts can access the data remotely through dedicated mobile devices or computers. This remote monitoring and diagnosis system not only improves the utilization efficiency of medical resources, but also enables patients in remote areas or areas with scarce medical resources to obtain high-quality medical services.

[0088] Implementation method 12:

[0089] This embodiment introduces an adaptive focusing algorithm to further improve the automatic focusing speed and accuracy of the system. The algorithm can automatically adjust the focusing parameters according to the characteristics of the sample and the detection conditions to achieve a faster and more stable focusing process.

[0090] In practical applications, the system first uses preliminary spectral information or image features to pre-classify samples, and then selects the corresponding focusing algorithm and parameters based on the classification results. This adaptive focusing algorithm not only improves the focusing speed and accuracy of the system, but also enables the system to more flexibly respond to different types of pathological tissue samples.

[0091] Implementation method thirteen:

[0092] This implementation adds a multi-dimensional data analysis and visualization module to the system to provide richer and more intuitive detection results and analysis reports.

[0093] This module can use a variety of data analysis techniques, such as cluster analysis and principal component analysis, to conduct in-depth mining and analysis of test data. At the same time, the module also supports a variety of visualization methods, such as three-dimensional scatter plots and heat maps, to intuitively display the distribution and characteristics of data. This multi-dimensional data analysis and visualization function not only helps doctors understand the test results more accurately, but also provides them with more diagnostic basis and decision support.

[0094] Implementation method 14:

[0095] This embodiment adopts a modular design, so that the system can be easily expanded and upgraded. Each module is connected and communicated through a standardized interface, and modules can be added or replaced as needed to meet different application scenarios and requirements.

For example, when the system detects an abnormal spectral signal, it can immediately notify the doctor and provide information such as the possible pathological type and degree of the lesion. This real-time feedback and guidance system not only improves the accuracy and efficiency of detection, but also enables doctors to make timely adjustments and optimizations during the detection process.

[0109] Implementation method 19:

Specifically, the set of spectral measurement values ​​is The total number of measurement points is , for each measurement value Normalization is performed to convert it into a relative numerical range. After normalization, the spectral data needs to be denoised. In signal processing, sliding average, detrending or filtering methods are usually used to reduce data noise. For example, a sliding window smoothing method is applied to the spectral sequence, that is, a weighted average is performed on continuous measurement points. For example, if the window size is set to , then The smoothed value of a measurement point can be expressed as:

For example, if the set deviation threshold is , then the current measured spectral data has a large deviation, indicating that the data has a large fluctuation range, and further analysis of the characteristic changes of the spectral data is needed.

[0141] Implementation method 22:

[0142] To eliminate signal errors, use the formula:

[0143] ;

[0144] Calculate the error correction value, perform error correction, and convert it into a corresponding electrical signal;

[0145] in, represents the error correction value, Representative The raw data value of the Raman scattering signal, represents the average value of all Raman scattering signal data, Representative The temperature measurement value at a moment, represents the average value of all temperature measurements, represents the total number of data points of the Raman scattering signal, Represents the total number of data points for temperature measurement, Represents a nonzero constant used to adjust the stability of the calculation.

[0146] After processing the Raman scattering signal, error correction is required after obtaining the original data. First, for the original signal data set , perform benchmark statistics on it and calculate its mean , and then get the deviation of each data point from the mean , the total error can be obtained by accumulating all deviations In practical applications, laser Raman spectroscopy can be used to measure multiple locations of a sample. For example, the spectral signals of different points on a silicon wafer can be measured under certain temperature conditions to obtain the raw data of multiple Raman scattering signals. The deviation value of each point can be calculated to reflect the uniformity inside the sample. Then, the temperature measurement data is introduced. , calculate its mean , calculate the temperature deviation of all measurement points And accumulate to obtain the temperature influence factor Considering the signal stability under different measurement environments, the adjustment parameters are increased. To correct the calculation, the final error correction value calculation formula is:

[0147] ;

[0148] In an actual example, if the Raman scattering signal of a material at five measurement points is: , then the signal mean is , calculate the deviation and sum it up to get At the same time, assuming that there are five temperature measurement points, the data are: K, then the mean temperature K, calculate the sum of squares of deviations at each point, and get , if the adjustment parameter is set , then the error correction value is calculated as follows:

[0149] ;

[0150] The final error correction value is used to compensate for the measurement error of the Raman scattering signal, thereby eliminating the signal error and converting it into a corresponding electrical signal.
