Description

Longitudinal scanning method and device thereof in the optical coherence tomography system
One, technical field
The present invention relates to the optical coherence tomography technology, particularly relate to optical coherence tomography system high speed longitudinal scanning method and device thereof.
Two, background technology
The comparatively sophisticated tomography technology of development mainly contains three kinds now: computed tomography imaging (Computedtomography), ultra sonic imaging (Ultrasonic imaging) and NMR (Nuclear Magnetic Resonance)-imaging (Nuclear magneticresonance).These three kinds of technology respectively have characteristics, such as when it is used for human body and checks to aspect the infringement of human body, though diagnosis has reduced many with the dosage of X ray in these years, exist less detrimental effect but still have many data to show, may increase human infection some diseases such as cancer, leukemia and cataractous probability.Yet most data show that all magnetic field strong relatively in used now ultrasonic diagnosis dosage or the nuclear magnetic resonance, NMR is without any poisonous effect.But these three kinds of tomography technologies can't satisfy scientific research and the clinical diagnosis requirement (resolution of these three kinds of faultage images is about about 100 μ m~1mm) to real-time, Noninvasive and high-resolution imaging fully.
1991 the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) yellow David people such as (David Huang) principle of low-coherent light reflectometer (Low-coherence reflectometry) and confocal microscope is applied in the biomedical fault imaging field, optical coherence tomography (Optical Coherence Tomography) has been proposed, in this ten years development, optical coherence tomography (OCT) is with advantage such as its not damaged imaging, imaging resolution height, system structure be simple, cheap and enjoy attracting attention of science and engineering research person.
Optical coherence tomography (OCT) can be applied in many fields that there is potential defect in other imaging technique, provides reference data in particular for meticulous surgical operation.For example, in the operation of brain section, traditional tissue biopsy is breakneck, and other imaging technique has brought a lot of limitation owing to resolution is too low; And for example, need the imaging technique of micron dimension to the diagnosis of early stage retinal diseases, so far, also not than optical coherence tomography (OCT) imaging technique more suitably.
The ultimate principle of optical coherence tomography (OCT) is the rear orientation light that makes the organism to be measured on the signal arm by the optical fiber type Michelson interferometer, interfere with the reference light that is reflected by total reflective mirror on the reference arm, detect the information that this interference signal can obtain organism to be measured.Wherein realize scanning to organism depth direction to be measured by the reference arm total reflective mirror along the back and forth movement of optical axis direction, i.e. longitudinal scanning is by realizing the transversal scanning to organism to be measured along the vertical direction movable signal of optical axis arm.Because light source uses low-coherence light source, its coherence length is short, so the difference of the length of reference arm and signal arm just can interfere phenomenon in coherence length the time, and therefore, the longitudinal resolution of organism imaging to be measured depends on the coherence length l of light c:
l c = 41 n 2 π λ 0 2 Δλ - - - ( 1 )
Wherein, λ 0Be centre wavelength, Δ λ is the bandwidth (Bandwidth FWHM) of light source.Because optical signal comes and goes, so the imaging longitudinal resolution is l cHalf.As, use centre wavelength to be 830nm, when bandwidth was the superluminescent diode (SLD) of 25nm, the longitudinal resolution of imaging was 12 μ m, if use image-recovery technique resolution can be risen to micron even sub-micrometer scale.
Critical component in optical coherence tomography (OCT) system can be classified as three parts: light source, interferometer and scanning means.
Light source must satisfy three primary conditions: near infrared spectrum, short-phase dry length, high irradiance.Because during light frequency higher (blue light or higher), average scattering length is shorter, so optical coherence tomography (OCT) needs the long wave light source, but at 2 μ m or longer wave band, the absorptance of water increases, and therefore can only select the wave band of wavelength below 1.8 μ m.On the other hand, if wavelength is short more, resolution is high more, accordingly, if wavelength increases, for keeping same resolution, the bandwidth of light source must increase with the trend of 2 powers, therefore, select light source for convenience, should select the shortwave light source as far as possible, yet because hemoglobin is bigger at the following absorptance of 700nm, and consider and generally optical source wavelength is chosen in the relation of scattering length near the 850nm.
Interferometer is based on the structure of Michelson interferometer, common optical coherence tomography (OCT) system all uses optical fiber structure, though connecting, optical fiber makes that light path is flexible, it is a lot of to have simplified, but also brought the restriction of system effectiveness, because what use is wideband light source, so CHROMATIC DISPERSION IN FIBER OPTICS will make longitudinal resolution reduce greatly.
The longitudinal scanning speed of scanning means and resolution are in status of equal importance in optical coherence tomography (OCT).For high-resolution imaging system, the minute movement of organism to be measured just may cause the fuzzy of image, therefore has only the scanning speed of raising just can overcome this disadvantage.Existing longitudinal scanning technology probably is divided into following 6 kinds:
1, the step motor drive reflecting mirror is realized scanning.Advantage: linear, control convenience, cheap; Shortcoming: speed is slow, positioning accuracy is poor when moving back and forth.
2, realize scanning with piezoquartz.Advantage: at a high speed, approximately linear, control be convenient, cheap; Shortcoming: displacement is less, crystal is frangible.
3, stretching optical fiber is realized scanning.Advantage: simple in structure, control convenience, cheap; Shortcoming: non-linear, light polarization changes.
4, realize scanning with rotary prism.Advantage: at a high speed, control is convenient, cheap; Shortcoming: non-linear, dutycycle is low, light beam has chromatic dispersion by prism.
5, optical delay line is realized scanning.Advantage: at a high speed, approximately linear; Shortcoming: certain dutycycle, complex structure are arranged.
6, realize scanning with the spiral mirror.Advantage: at a high speed, linear, simple in structure, reflection-type; Shortcoming: machining accuracy is difficult to guarantee.
As can be seen, these longitudinal scanning technology respectively have its pluses and minuses, and wherein the step motor drive reflecting mirror realizes that scanning is the longitudinal scanning technology of the first generation, is replaced by other multiple technologies.
Optical delay line realizes that longitudinal scanning is the more method of using at present, and its structure is comparatively complicated, and is to realize longitudinal scanning by the angle swinging of galvanometer, therefore, can only be on low-angle approximately linear.
Realize that with the spiral mirror longitudinal scanning has at a high speed, advantage such as linear, simple for structure, owing to be the element of direct reflection-type, so light beam do not have chromatic dispersion problem, just can't use traditional method for manufacturing optical element, so have to adopt mechanical processing tools.Because its structural characteristics are necessary for its required machining tool of configuration separately, and are difficult to polish required optical surface, promptly are difficult to reach the precision of micron dimension.
Utilize the electrostriction effect of piezoelectric ceramics, can realize the micrometric displacement of sub-micrometer scale positioning accuracy and nanometer scale resolution, though also there is sluggish shortcoming, but owing to the reason of sluggishness is the dielectric constant of medium and relevant the causing of variation history of electric field intensity, if therefore adopt the method for direct control electrode intensity, under open loop situations, can effectively solve the hysteresis phenomenon of piezoelectric ceramics, also can realize that closed loop control solves the hysteresis phenomenon of piezoelectric ceramics by increasing micro-displacement sensor.But existing piezoelectric/electrostrictive porcelain can only be realized the displacement from several microns to more than 100 microns, its displacement is less, for example utilizes piezoelectric/electrostrictive porcelain to drive reflecting mirror and all can not satisfy the requirement that needs in optical coherence tomography (OCT) system reach 2mm to the 3mm longitudinal scanning degree of depth.
