Problems solved by technology

The shortcomings of this technology are: the pulse laser used is not focused, and the laser energy required is large; the resolution of the photoacoustic image obtained by reflecting through the conical mirror and exciting the inside of the entire blood vessel is not high; in addition, the device’s The ultrasonic transducer uses 64 ultrasonic array elements, the receiving efficiency of a single array element is not high, and the structure of the acquisition system is complicated due to the large number of array elements
In addition, another existing technology "Focused Rotary Scanning Photoacoustic Ultrasonic Endoscopic Imaging Device and Its Imaging Method", in which the ultrasonic transducer adopts a flat-field design, and the scanning process is realized by rotating the entire probe through an external drive. The mechanical vibration of the middle probe and the eccentricity of the probe will degrade the imaging quality

Abstract

The invention discloses an acousto-optic co-rotatably scanning acousto-optic endoscope device for rectum and an imaging method using the device. The acousto-optic co-rotatably scanning acousto-optic endoscope device for rectum comprises a sleeve, a single mode fiber, a fiber collimation coupler, a hollow focused ultrasound transducer, an imaging window, a film-coating acousto-optic high reflective mirror and a micro stepping motor, wherein the diameter of the acousto-optic endoscope for rectum is just 12 mm. According to the invention, optical excitation and sound reception adopt a confocal mode, and the film-coating acousto-optic high reflective mirror is driven by the micro stepping motor preposed inside to realize co-rotation and scanning of acousto-optic focuses so as to avoid the problem of mechanical dither and eccentric probe due to scanning by the whole probe when common endoscope is externally driven to rotate. The device can quickly and stably obtain computer tomography of intracavity of the rectum with high sensitivity and high resolution.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of endoscopes, and in particular relates to a rectal photoacoustic endoscope device and an imaging method for co-rotating scanning of sound and light. Background technique [0002] Photoacoustic imaging technology is based on the detection of photoacoustic signals generated by tissue absorption of pulsed lasers, which reflects the difference in optical absorption within the tissue. It combines the advantages of high contrast characteristics of pure optical imaging and high penetration depth characteristics of pure ultrasound imaging. The technology has now been applied to the field of endoscopic imaging. [0003] The prior art "An Intravascular Photoacoustic Ultrasound Imaging Endoscopic Device and Its Imaging Method" discloses an intravascular photoacoustic ultrasonic imaging endoscopic device and an imaging method. The shortcomings of this technology are: the pulse laser used is not focused, and the laser...
