Abstract

The invention discloses a photoacoustic microscope. The photoacoustic microscope comprises a microscope system, a signal collection control system and a driving system. The invention further discloses a method for monitoring breaking of microvesicles in biological tissue with the use of the photoacoustic microscope. The photoacoustic imaging is combined with features of high contrast ratio of optical imaging and high resolution ratio of acoustic imaging. Due to low scattering properties of acoustic signal transmission in tissue, deeper penetration degree is obtained compared with a conventional optical imaging method. There is no need to slicing tissue and the method is non-invasive so that long-term monitoring is achieved. Photoacoustic microscope imaging equipment helps achieve imaging of multiple anatomical positions.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of medicine and medical equipment, and in particular relates to a photoacoustic microscope and a method for monitoring the explosion of microbubbles in biological tissues. Background technique [0002] For a long time, microbubbles have been used as an efficient, cheap, and biocompatible diagnostic contrast agent for ultrasound imaging. Because microbubbles have high acoustic scattering properties and nonlinear effects on incident ultrasound, they have many clinical applications, such as the assessment of coronary artery disease, angiogenesis, inflammation and tumor formation, etc. In general, these clinical applications only use the acoustic impedance characteristics of microbubbles for ultrasound imaging, while ignoring other utilization values ​​of this unique structure of microbubbles. [0003] The main way to observe the effect of tumor treatment is to detect it by means of imaging. The traditional op...
