The invention relates to the technical field of
mass spectrum imaging, in particular to a non-targeted
cascade mass spectrum imaging method and device, and the method comprises the steps: obtaining a second-level
mass spectrum of each pixel point, and carrying out the spectrum peak recognition and peak extraction, so as to obtain a first intensity matrix, and performing first-order
deconvolution calculation to obtain a plurality of parent
ion secondary mass spectrums and a corresponding relation between the parent
ion secondary mass spectrums and fragment ions, generating a second intensity matrix in combination with adjacent pixel molecule composition information, performing second-order
deconvolution calculation to obtain relative
ion intensity of characteristic fragments generated by each parent ion in each pixel, and generating a multi-target
mass spectrum imaging result. Therefore, the problems that in related technologies,
mass spectrum imaging cannot be combined with a
chromatographic separation technology generally, so that the analysis dimension is limited, and the
data analysis difficulty is increased; the problems that the complexity and the cost of an instrument are increased, the application scene is limited and the stability and the
usability are influenced due to the fact that data do not depend on acquisition and spectrum diagram
deconvolution depends on a
molecular composition modulation technology are solved.
