Accurate monitoring of blood oxy-saturation level (SO2 ) in human breast tissues is clinically important for predicting and evaluating possible tumor growth at the site. In this work, four different non-invasive frequency-domain photoacoustic (PA) imaging modalities were compared for their absolute SO2 characterization capability using an in-vitro sheep blood circulation system. Among different PA modes, a new WM-DPAR imaging modality could estimate the SO2 with great accuracy when compared to a commercial blood gas analyzer. The developed WM-DPARI theory was further validated by constructing SO2 tomographic images of a blood-containing plastisol phantom.
准确监测人体乳腺组织中的血氧饱和度水平(SO2)对于预测和评估该部位可能的肿瘤生长具有重要的临床意义。在这项工作中,使用体外羊血液循环系统比较了四种不同的非侵入性频域光声(PA)成像模式对SO2的绝对表征能力。在不同的PA模式中,一种新的WM-DPAR成像模式与商用血气分析仪相比,能够非常准确地估计SO2。通过构建含血增塑溶胶体模的SO2断层图像,进一步验证了所提出的WM-DPARI理论。
