Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of photoacoustic imaging, and particularly relates to a handheld photoacoustic multi-modal blood vessel puncture and tissue damage diagnosis system and device. BACKGROUND

[0002] In the process of clinical nursing and emergency treatment, venipuncture is one of the most common but most experience-dependent invasive operations. The existing technology mainly relies on nurses' naked eye observation, palpation or the aid of traditional transmission-type vein imaging instruments, but due to skin pigmentation, hair, subcutaneous fat thickness and environmental light interference, the venous imaging of the puncture site is often not clear, resulting in a low first-time puncture success rate. Repeated puncture not only increases the pain of patients, but also may cause complications such as phlebitis, hematoma and nerve damage. The problem of "multiple failures of venipuncture" is particularly prominent in pediatric, obese, elderly and hypovolemic patients, and has become a key bottleneck affecting medical efficiency and patient satisfaction.

[0003] On the other hand, pressure injury (pressure sore) and subcutaneous congestion are common complications of patients who are in bed for a long time, postoperative immobilization or anticoagulant therapy. At present, nurses often rely on regular visual or palpation examination for risk assessment, but early pressure injury only shows local congestion or occult ischemia, which is difficult to identify by naked eye. Subcutaneous congestion often has a smaller visible range on the surface than the actual damage area, resulting in the difficulty of early detection and inaccurate range assessment. Although traditional ultrasound can assist in judgment, it relies on professional operators and is difficult to continuously monitor at the bedside due to its large size.

[0004] Photoacoustic imaging (PAI) uses the physical mechanism of "light excitation and sound detection", which can simultaneously obtain multi-parameter images such as hemoglobin concentration, oxygen saturation and lipid content, and has the advantages of high optical contrast and deep acoustic penetration. In recent years, multi-spectral photoacoustic imaging (MSPAI) has realized the quantitative analysis of blood vessel network, blood oxygen distribution and tissue composition by time-sharing or parallel projection of multi-wavelength pulsed laser, which can theoretically provide real-time three-dimensional positioning of blood vessels for venipuncture and early functional warning for pressure injury and subcutaneous congestion. However, the existing photoacoustic systems are mostly table or cart types, which are large in size, complex in fiber, high in cost, and difficult to meet the urgent needs of clinical "handheld, bedside and instant".

[0005] The literature (Liu Qiang, Jin Tian, ​​Chen Qian, Xi Lei. Research Progress of Miniaturized Photoacoustic Imaging Technology in Biomedical Field[J]. Chinese Journal of Lasers, 2020, 47(2): 0207019.) discloses a handheld multispectral photoacoustic imaging technology that can be used clinically for vascular imaging. It can distinguish blood vessels with a diameter as small as 100 micrometers and a depth of less than 1 centimeter, and provide hemoglobin oxygen saturation and pulsation information. However, this technology can only achieve static imaging and cannot assess tissue damage. Therefore, the relevant technology needs further improvement. Summary of the Invention

[0092] The data processing module is configured to import the extracted blood vessel contour and other information into the deformation differential equation, and obtain the optimal puncture angle through the path optimization algorithm .

[0093] The application is based on the Fung quasi-linear viscoelasticity theory of biomechanics:

[0094]

[0095] Simplify it into a real-time calculation model to calculate the dynamic elastic modulus of the blood vessel wall (kPa), :

[0096]

[0097]

[0098] in, P Indicates vascular blood pressure (estimated using photoacoustic pulsation signals); r : radius of blood vessel; h Wall thickness; This is the viscosity coefficient (human blood plasma viscosity), with a default value of 0.12 Pa·s.

[0136] 3. Data processing flow

[0137] (1) Puncture navigation whole process

[0138] S1, photoacoustic acquisition→signal enhancement: 532nm laser excitation + wavelet packet denoising (WPT-L9);

[0139] S2, signal enhancement→three-dimensional reconstruction: compressed sensing algorithm (ADMM optimizer solves min‖Ax-b‖2+λ‖x‖1);

[0140] S3, three-dimensional reconstruction→parameter calculation: real-time parallel computing:

[0141] Thread 1: ;

[0142] Thread 2: ;

[0143] S4, parameter calculation→path planning: variational method optimization ;

[0144] S5, path planning→AR display: projection dynamic needle insertion tunnel (green dashed line);

[0145] ​​S6, AR display -> haptic feedback: vibration level = force_feedback( , depth, pressure).

[0146] Technical packages: Real-time parallel architecture: GPU acceleration (NVIDIA Jetson Orin) makes the computation delay < 50ms;

[0147] Compressive sensing reconstruction: The sampling rate is reduced to 40% (original data volume) and still maintains PSNR > 35dB;

[0148] Path optimization: output the optimal puncture angle through the Hamiltonian operator (as described in "Vascular Puncture Navigation Algorithm").

[0149] (2) Four-order analysis of injury diagnosis

[0150] 1) Step 1: Multispectral decomposition

[0151] Input: The measured reflected light intensity at two known wavelengths (532nm, 850nm): signal_532, signal_850;

[0152] According to the Beer-Lambert law, determine the absorption coefficient matrix A at these two wavelengths. The above two groups of intensity mainly contain the absorption contribution of three substances: Hb (deoxyhemoglobin), HbO2 (oxyhemoglobin) and collagen (collagen). By least squares, solve the linear equations to calculate the unit extinction coefficient of three substances at each wavelength:

[0153] A = np.array([[220, 80, 5], # 532nm: Hb, HbO2, Collagen

[0154] [35, 40, 185]]) # 850nm: Hb, HbO2, Collagen

[0155]

[0156] Then, use the least squares method to inversely solve the mixed photoacoustic signal measured at two wavelengths into the concentration vector of three substances:

[0157] concentrations = np.linalg.lstsq(A, [signal_532, signal_850], rcond=None)[0]

[0158] return concentrations # [C_Hb, C_HbO2, C_Collagen]

[0161] Central Difference (Δt=0.1s): dH_dt = (Hb_map[t+1] – Hb_map[t–1]) / 0.2

[0162] 3) Step 3: DDI Synthesis

[0163] DDI_map = np.linalg.norm(grad_C, axis=2) * np.sqrt(np.abs(dH_dt))

[0164] 4) Step 4: Risk Stratification

[0165] risk_mask = (DDI_map>2.5) | (VSI_map<0.2).

[0166] 2, Pressure Injury Index (PDI)

[0167] PDI = R × (Tissue Hardness / 10)

[0168] Where R represents the hemoglobin / collagen concentration ratio.

[0169] Clinical Significance: R>1 indicates hemoglobin enrichment (acute injury), R<0.3 indicates collagen dominance (healthy tissue).

[0170] The specific calculation of R is as follows:

C_Collagen represents the average concentration of collagen (mg / mL) in the same area, calculated by inversion of the 850nm laser excitation signal.

[0174] Tissue Hardness (kPa):

[0175] wherein, The strain rate is obtained from the photoacoustic sequence deformation analysis.

[0176] Diagnostic threshold:

[0177] PDI>0.8→High risk (AR red flashing warning);

[0178] 0.4≤PDI≤0.8→Medium risk (yellow prompt);

[0179] PDI<0.4→Low risk (no warning).
