The invention discloses an in-vitro tissue
thermal dose threshold determination method and
system based on a thermochromic film, and belongs to the technical field of
biomedicine ultrasonic
dosimetry. The method comprises the following steps: preparing a thermochromic film with multiple color-changing temperature points, and calibrating a quantitative relationship between the
hue and the temperature of the thermochromic film; constructing a sample formed by overlapping an in-vitro tissue, the thin film and a transparent phantom, and placing the sample in a focal region of a high-intensity
focused ultrasound system; synchronously carrying out
ultrasonic irradiation and film color-changing video acquisition;
hue distribution of video frames is converted into temperature distribution through
image processing, dynamic accumulation is carried out based on a
thermal dose model, and a two-dimensional
thermal dose distribution field is reconstructed; and finally, registering the
thermal damage area after tissue
irradiation with a thermal
dose field, and extracting a thermal
dose value on the outer side of the damage boundary to calculate a threshold value. The
system comprises corresponding ultrasonic generation, sample bearing,
image acquisition and control
processing units. According to the invention, non-contact, real-time and two-dimensional visual measurement of the heat
dose is realized, the system cost is low, and the heat dose threshold can be determined more objectively and accurately.
