The invention relates to the technical field of
optical imaging, in particular to an
endoscopic imaging device based on a forward probe, a medical host
system and an imaging method.The
endoscopic imaging device comprises a forward scanning probe, an in-vitro
system, an excitation unit and a
signal processing unit, receiving an optical
signal carrying tissue scattering information; the in-vitro
system is used for realizing light interference, converting an interference
light signal into digital OCT
original data, outputting a synchronous trigger
signal to the excitation unit, collecting an OCT scattering signal in an
elastic wave propagation process, converting the OCT scattering signal into an OCT complex value signal, and packaging the OCT complex value signal into an
original data stream; and the
signal processing unit performs phase extraction, displacement calculation or
wave velocity estimation and the like on the
original data stream, performs elastic inversion, and outputs tissue elastic information in all directions, so that the problems of limited imaging view field, insufficient
lesion recognition sensitivity, limited clinical application, elastic quantitative measurement and the like in related technologies are solved, and the accuracy and the reliability of the system are improved. And the accuracy and the sensitivity of early
lesion diagnosis are improved.
