That is, the present invention corrects the image distortion generated when using the fixed ultrasonic transducer and galvanometer optical scanning in the optoacoustic microscope imaging apparatus based on the image of the optical coherence tomography apparatus, thereby positioning the ultrasonic transducer. In addition, it is possible to effectively correct an optoacoustic image whose image distortion is changed according to a tilt, based on an optical interference imaging apparatus that simultaneously images the same region.

Abstract

L'invention concerne un procédé et un dispositif de correction de distorsion d'image photoacoustique défocalisée, à l'aide d'une image de tomographie par cohérence optique, une distorsion d'image photoacoustique, qui est généré en raison de la distance entre l'emplacement d'un transducteur ultrasonore d'un dispositif d'imagerie de microscope photoacoustique et l'emplacement d'acquisition d'un signal photoacoustique modifié au moyen d'un balayage d'échantillon, peut être corrigé sur la base d'une image de tomographie par cohérence optique. Par conséquent, une distorsion d'image photoacoustique dans la direction de profondeur générée dans un dispositif d'imagerie de microscope photoacoustique existant peut être efficacement corrigée, et une image de tomographie photoacoustique plus précise peut être obtenue.
