Description

基于自发荧光技术和光学相干层析术的甲状腺颈部组织分类 和识别系统及方法Classification of thyroid neck tissue based on autofluorescence technique and optical coherence tomography and identification systems and methods

技术领域technical field

本发明涉及一种双模式成像系统及方法,特别是基于自发荧光技术和光学相干层析术的可用于甲状腺颈部组织分类和识别的系统及方法,是甲状腺颈部组织成像的一种新系统及方法,属于生物组织成像技术领域。The present invention relates to a dual-mode imaging system and method, especially a system and method based on autofluorescence technology and optical coherence tomography that can be used for thyroid neck tissue classification and identification, and is a new system for thyroid neck tissue imaging A method and a method belong to the technical field of biological tissue imaging.

背景技术Background technique

近年来,甲状腺癌的发病率呈逐年增高趋势。甲状腺部分或全部切除是大多数恶性和一些良性甲状腺病变的最佳选择。为了防止肿瘤病变复发,通常要清扫周围的淋巴结。在甲状腺手术中,为了防止术后出现低钙血症需要保护甲状旁腺。而由于甲状旁腺体积小(长3-8毫米、宽2-5毫米、厚0.5-2毫米)、数目及位置不完全确定,而且与周围的淋巴结和脂肪组织从外观上很难区分,因此很容易被损坏或被错误地切除。In recent years, the incidence of thyroid cancer has been increasing year by year. Partial or total thyroidectomy is the best option for most malignant and some benign thyroid lesions. To prevent recurrence of the neoplastic lesion, the surrounding lymph nodes are usually dissected. In thyroid surgery, parathyroid protection is required to prevent postoperative hypocalcemia. However, due to the small size of the parathyroid glands (3-8 mm in length, 2-5 mm in width, and 0.5-2 mm in thickness), the number and location are not completely determined, and it is difficult to distinguish them from the surrounding lymph nodes and adipose tissue in appearance, so It can be easily damaged or removed by mistake.

鉴于保护甲状旁腺和清扫淋巴结的两个需求,在甲状腺手术中亟需准确分类和识别甲状腺颈部组织,即甲状旁腺、淋巴结及脂肪的方法。临床上现有的分类和识别甲状旁腺、淋巴结和脂肪的快速冰冻法和“浮沉法”存在损失组织样品量和准确度不高的问题。现有的辅助识别技术如超声技术、基于亚甲蓝和5-氨基乙酰丙酸(ALA)的荧光检测、利用伽马探头的锝甲氧异腈(99mTc-MIBI)显像术等技术存在分辨率不高或有毒性等问题。In view of the two needs of protecting the parathyroid glands and dissecting the lymph nodes, methods for accurately classifying and identifying the thyroid neck tissues, namely, parathyroid glands, lymph nodes, and fat, are urgently needed in thyroid surgery. The current rapid freezing method and "floating and sinking method" for classifying and identifying parathyroid glands, lymph nodes and fat in clinical practice have the problems of loss of tissue sample volume and low accuracy. Existing auxiliary identification technologies such as ultrasound technology, fluorescence detection based on methylene blue and 5-aminolevulinic acid (ALA), and technetium methoxyisonitrile (99mTc-MIBI) imaging using gamma probes exist to distinguish The rate is not high or there are problems such as toxicity.

基于自发荧光技术的方法,利用785nm波长的光可以激发甲状旁腺和甲状腺产生峰值在822nm的近红外自发荧光,从而可以从甲状腺颈部组织中分类出甲状旁腺和甲状腺,而且由于甲状旁腺的自发荧光比甲状腺的高,从而可以定位甲状旁腺。但是,近红外自发荧光技术无法判断所定位的甲状旁腺是否为正常的甲状旁腺,也无法分类淋巴结和脂肪。光学相干层析术可以对生物组织实现高分辨实时无损的结构成像,已在眼科、皮肤及心内科等医学临床上得到了广泛的应用,可以实现不同组织的分类和识别。对于甲状腺颈部组织成像,光学相干层析术存在的问题是成像范围小,无法快速定位甲状旁腺。Based on the method of autofluorescence technology, the parathyroid gland and thyroid gland can be excited by the light of 785nm wavelength to produce near-infrared autofluorescence with a peak value of 822nm, so that the parathyroid gland and thyroid gland can be classified from the thyroid neck tissue, and because the parathyroid gland The autofluorescence of the thyroid is higher than that of the thyroid, allowing the localization of the parathyroid glands. However, the near-infrared autofluorescence technique cannot judge whether the localized parathyroid gland is a normal parathyroid gland, nor can it classify lymph nodes and fat. Optical coherence tomography can realize high-resolution real-time non-destructive structural imaging of biological tissues, and has been widely used in clinical medicine such as ophthalmology, dermatology and cardiology, and can realize the classification and identification of different tissues. For thyroid neck tissue imaging, the problem with optical coherence tomography is that the imaging range is small and the parathyroid glands cannot be quickly located.
