技术领域Technical field
本发明涉及内窥成像领域,具体地涉及一种基于定焦声场的光声/超声内窥探头及动态聚焦重建算法。The invention relates to the field of endoscopic imaging, and specifically to a photoacoustic/ultrasonic endoscopic probe based on a fixed-focus sound field and a dynamic focus reconstruction algorithm.
背景技术Background technique
声聚焦光声内窥成像是一种新兴的集高分辨,高穿透深度,高光学对比度为一体的生物医学内窥成像手段。在很多声聚焦光声内窥成像系统中,由于可以采用基于压电效应的换能器来接收超声,而这个换能器同时也可以发射超声,所以光声/超声成像由于同用一个换能器所以可以方便的集成在一起,形成声聚焦光声/超声成像系统。光声/超声成像在特定的场合中有很好的应用前景。Acoustic focusing photoacoustic endoscopic imaging is an emerging biomedical endoscopic imaging method that integrates high resolution, high penetration depth, and high optical contrast. In many sound-focused photoacoustic endoscopic imaging systems, since a transducer based on the piezoelectric effect can be used to receive ultrasound, and this transducer can also emit ultrasound, photoacoustic/ultrasound imaging uses the same transducer. The devices can be easily integrated together to form an acoustic focusing photoacoustic/ultrasonic imaging system. Photoacoustic/ultrasound imaging has good application prospects in specific occasions.
在常规的光声/超声内窥成像探头中,其基本的结构可使其进行360度环形扫描成像。另外,也可以采用平面超声换能器,然后利用抛物面的超声及激光反射镜来形成聚焦声场。在此类系统成像时,光声和超声内窥成像算法都比较类似,其一般采用类似于B超中常用的超声束直线传播模型,直接按照像素相对于换能器的距离和声速计算得到的延迟时间,以及换能器内窥扫描时的旋转角度,来将所得数据进行扇形排列组合成像。其中,由于超声涉及到信号的往返,因此在超声成像时声速需要设置成实际声速的一半。In conventional photoacoustic/ultrasonic endoscopic imaging probes, its basic structure allows it to perform 360-degree circular scanning imaging. In addition, a planar ultrasonic transducer can also be used, and then parabolic ultrasonic and laser reflectors can be used to form a focused sound field. When imaging such systems, the photoacoustic and ultrasonic endoscopic imaging algorithms are relatively similar. They generally use a linear propagation model of the ultrasonic beam commonly used in B-ultrasound, which is calculated directly based on the distance of the pixel relative to the transducer and the speed of sound. The delay time and the rotation angle of the transducer during endoscopic scanning are used to arrange and combine the obtained data into a sector-shaped image. Among them, since ultrasound involves the round trip of signals, the sound speed needs to be set to half of the actual sound speed during ultrasound imaging.
此种成像方法简单直接,但是由于定焦探头的应用,其只能在焦点位置得到最佳横向分辨率,包括切向上的以及沿着探头的轴向上的最佳分辨率,而在远离焦点区域,其横向分辨率将迅速降低。当超声传感器的数值孔径越大,其最佳横向分辨率最小,但是此种情况下其成像景深也越小,反之亦然。这样的现状,主要是由于当前的声聚焦光声/超声内窥成像算法没有考虑到实际换能器的聚焦声场造成的,因此迫切的需要一种新的算法来考虑换能器的声场,使得离焦区域也能有较高的横向分辨率,进而保证整体图像成像的清晰准确。This imaging method is simple and direct, but due to the application of a fixed-focus probe, it can only obtain the best lateral resolution at the focus position, including the best resolution in the tangential direction and along the axis of the probe, while far away from the focus area, its lateral resolution will decrease rapidly. When the numerical aperture of the ultrasonic sensor is larger, its optimal lateral resolution is smallest, but in this case its imaging depth of field is also smaller, and vice versa. This current situation is mainly caused by the fact that the current acoustic focused photoacoustic/ultrasonic endoscopic imaging algorithm does not take into account the focused sound field of the actual transducer. Therefore, a new algorithm is urgently needed to consider the sound field of the transducer, so that The defocused area can also have higher lateral resolution, thereby ensuring that the overall image imaging is clear and accurate.

During scanning, as the top mirror 6 rotates, it can perform lateral annular scanning imaging.

如图2至图3所示,为本发明中的内窥成像算法所使用的内窥成像探头,该探头包括透明外壳1,氟化钙镜片5,反射镜6,保护结构7以及使用的平场超声换能器8,探头整体在旋转电机驱动下进行运动,并完成侧向的环形扫描成像作业,其中,图中L3表示平场超声传感器8与氟化钙镜片5中心之间的距离,L4表示氟化钙镜片5中心与反射镜6中心之间的距离,L5表示抛物面反射镜6的焦距,在扫描时,由于反射镜6的存在,相当于平场超声传感器8处于图中虚线所标示的镜像位置,同时该反射镜6实现了声透镜的功能,因此在反射镜6后端的声场为聚焦声场,如图2所示,因此,在扫描过程中,与现有算法中所使用的内窥成像设备相对比,相当于现有的内窥成像设备中的中空聚焦超声传感器2围绕着旋转中心在以L3+L4为半径的扫描路径上进行旋转扫描。As shown in Figures 2 to 3, it is an endoscopic imaging probe used in the endoscopic imaging algorithm of the present invention. The probe includes a transparent shell 1, a calcium fluoride lens 5, a reflector 6, a protective structure 7 and a flat surface. The field ultrasonic transducer 8 and the probe as a whole move under the drive of the rotating motor and complete the lateral circular scanning imaging operation. In the figure, L3 represents the distance between the flat field ultrasonic sensor 8 and the center of the calcium fluoride lens 5. L4 represents the distance between the center of the calcium fluoride lens 5 and the center of the reflector 6, and L5 represents the focal length of the parabolic reflector 6. During scanning, due to the existence of the reflector 6, it is equivalent to the flat-field ultrasonic sensor 8 being located at the dotted line in the figure. The marked mirror position, and the reflector 6 realizes the function of the acoustic lens, so the sound field at the rear end of the reflector 6 is a focused sound field, as shown in Figure 2. Therefore, during the scanning process, it is the same as that used in the existing algorithm. In comparison with the endoscopic imaging equipment, it is equivalent to the hollow focused ultrasonic sensor 2 in the existing endoscopic imaging equipment performing rotational scanning around the rotation center on a scanning path with a radius of L3+L4.

When performing photoacoustic detection and using pulse laser to scan the tissue, the pulse laser can shine through the calcium fluoride lens 5 onto the reflector 6. The reflector 6 6 is a customized parabolic reflector 6. The parabolic reflector 6 can reflect light, sound and ultrasound. When the pulse laser passes through the calcium fluoride lens 5 and irradiates the parabolic reflector 6, the pulse laser passes through the parabolic reflector 6. Focusing, converging the pulsed laser at the equivalent focus of the focused sound field, and thereby determining the equivalent beam waist radius of the focused sound field and equivalent half-focal depth Z 0 . When the pulse laser acts on the tissue, the irradiated tissue responds quickly, and the fed-back ultrasonic signal is received by the flat-field ultrasonic transducer 8 , thereby providing specific feedback information data. parameter.
当进行超声探测时,平场超声换能器8发出超声进行探测时,发出的超声被透光反声的氟化钙镜片5所折射,经过折射的超声再次由抛物面反射镜6所聚焦,最终作用在组织上,组织受到超声的作用反馈出超声信号,该超声信号最终由平场超声换能器8所接收,并得到具体的反馈信息参数。When performing ultrasonic detection, the flat-field ultrasonic transducer 8 emits ultrasound for detection. The emitted ultrasound is refracted by the light-transmitting and sound-reflecting calcium fluoride lens 5. The refracted ultrasound is focused again by the parabolic reflector 6. Finally, Acting on the tissue, the tissue is affected by ultrasound and feedbacks an ultrasound signal. The ultrasound signal is finally received by the flat-field ultrasound transducer 8, and specific feedback information parameters are obtained.

The diameter of the transducer used for collection is 10mm, the focal length is 20mm, and the distance L5 from the focus to the center of rotation is 7mm. The focused ultrasonic sensor has a center frequency of 15MHz and a bandwidth of 75%.
图5(a)即用原始声聚焦光声内窥算法得到的光声图像,其在7mm位置的目标的横向分辨率最高,离开焦点区域越远,目标的横向分辨率扩展越大,系统的景深受限很大。Figure 5(a) is the photoacoustic image obtained using the original acoustic focusing photoacoustic endoscopic algorithm. The target at the 7mm position has the highest lateral resolution. The further away from the focus area, the greater the lateral resolution expansion of the target. The system Depth of field is very limited.

Except that the lateral resolution is not much different from that in Figure 5(a), the lateral resolution of the other targets in the figure has been significantly improved. From this, it can be seen that the algorithm used in the present invention can produce more obvious results in photoacoustic imaging. improve.

The lateral resolution of the target at the 7mm position is the highest. The farther away from the focus area, the greater the lateral resolution expansion of the target, and the depth of field of the system. Very restricted.
图6(b)为采用本发明中的基于定焦声场的超声内窥动态聚焦重建算法得到的超声图像,对比图6(a)可以看出,采用本发明中算法除7mm位置目标的横向分辨率和图6(a)相差不大以外,图中其余目标的横向分辨率都得到了显著的提高,由此可以看出本发明所使用的算法在超声成像的领域能够产生较为明显的提高。Figure 6(b) is an ultrasonic image obtained by using the fixed-focus sound field-based ultrasonic endoscopic dynamic focus reconstruction algorithm of the present invention. Comparing Figure 6(a), it can be seen that the lateral resolution of the 7mm position target is reduced by using the algorithm of the present invention. Except that the ratio is not much different from that in Figure 6(a), the lateral resolution of the remaining targets in the figure has been significantly improved. From this, it can be seen that the algorithm used in the present invention can produce a relatively obvious improvement in the field of ultrasound imaging.
