Technical Field

The application relates to the technical field of medical instruments, in particular to a detection device and a multi-mode medical imaging system.

Background

With the development of science and technology, people have higher and higher requirements for healthy life. Mammary gland diseases are important factors affecting female health. Therefore, how to accurately diagnose the breast diseases is a new topic which is put forward for medical staff.

The current examination of breast disease and early screening of breast cancer is mainly done by breast X-ray imaging or breast ultrasound imaging. The mammary gland X-ray imaging principle is the same as that of other X-ray equipment in the exposure principle, and the mammary gland X-ray imaging principle is mainly characterized in that the mammary gland X-ray imaging principle forms mammary gland images (including two-dimensional and three-dimensional tomography) with different heights and grayscales on the images through different energy accumulation by utilizing the penetrating performance of X-rays and the reaction difference of different human tissues to the X-rays in the process that the X-rays penetrate the human tissues. The three-dimensional tomography obtains projection data of different angles through rotation of a ray tube, and reconstructs a final tomography image. The breast ultrasonic imaging principle is that an ultrasonic sound beam is utilized to scan a human body, and reflected signals are received and processed to obtain an image of an internal organ. The three-dimensional ultrasonic imaging principle is to reconstruct a two-dimensional ultrasonic image of a breast into a three-dimensional image so as to obtain images in three directions of a coronal plane, a sagittal plane and a cross section.

The main advantages of X-ray imaging are that the potential lesion of the breast can be found early by identifying the details of the lesion such as microcalcifications, the disadvantage is that the breast needs to be compressed more and the complete image structure of the lesion tissue is difficult to see. The ultrasonic imaging can clearly see the complete image structure of the lesion tissue, but the details of the lesion such as micro calcification and the like are difficult to find. Therefore, how to combine the advantages of X-ray imaging and ultrasound imaging is a problem to be solved.

Referring to fig. 1, fig. 1 is a detecting device 10 according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. The detection apparatus 10 includes a housing 100 and an X-ray detector 210 housed in the housing 100. The detection surface of the X-ray detector 210 is disposed opposite to the housing 100. The probe 10 also includes an ultrasound probe 300 housed within the housing 100. The ultrasound detector 300 and the X-ray detector 210 are capable of relative movement. The ultrasound detector 300 is movable out of the detection plane of the X-ray detector 210.

The housing 100 encloses a receiving space 110. The X-ray detector 210 and the ultrasound detector 300 are both disposed in the accommodating space 110. The shape of the housing 100 is not limited as long as a space for accommodating the X-ray detector 210 and the ultrasonic detector 300 can be formed. The shape of the enclosure 100 may be set according to the positions of the X-ray detector 210 and the ultrasound detector 300 within the enclosure 100. The cover 100 may be an alloy material or a polyester material.

The X-ray detector 210 may be a device that converts X-ray energy into electrical signals that may be recorded. The X-ray detector 210 may receive radiation exposure and then generate an electrical signal proportional to the intensity of the radiation. The intensity of the signal received by the X-ray detector 210 may depend on the density of the tissue within the cross-section of the tissue 540 to be detected. For example, the bone has a higher density and absorbs more X-rays, and the signal received by the X-ray detector 210 is weaker; less dense tissue, such as fat, absorbs less X-rays and the signal obtained by the X-ray detector 210 is stronger. Therefore, the state of the human tissue can be reflected according to the strength of the signal received by the X-ray detector 210. The ultrasound probe 300 may scan a human body with an ultrasound beam, and obtain an image of an internal organ by receiving and processing a reflected signal.

The X-ray detector 210 may be a flat panel detector. The detection surface of the X-ray detector 210 may be a region where the flat panel detector can achieve a detection function within a panel surface range of the flat panel detector. Structurally, the detection surface may be a region where the flat panel detector has an electronic component with a photoelectric conversion function, except for the frame.

The detection surface of the X-ray detector 210 is disposed opposite to the housing 100, so that the detection surface of the X-ray detector 210 can receive X-rays through the housing 100. The detection surface of the X-ray detector 210 may be disposed opposite the top surface of the housing 100. The side of the top surface of the cover 100 may be placed with the tissue 540 to be detected.

The ultrasound detector 300 and the X-ray detector 210 are capable of relative movement. That is, one of the ultrasound detector 300 and the X-ray detector 210 may be fixed with respect to the housing 100, and the other may be movably disposed with respect to the housing 100. The ultrasound probe 300 and the X-ray detector 210 may be movably disposed with respect to the housing 100.

It is understood that the ultrasound probe 300 and the X-ray probe 210 may be both connected to the inner wall of the housing 100, and the position adjustment is achieved by adjusting the movement of the respective components relative to the housing 100. The form of the connection between the ultrasonic detector 300 and the X-ray detector 210 and the inner wall of the housing 100 may be unlimited as long as the relative fixing and moving functions can be realized.

A separate motion mechanism may also be provided in the housing 100. The movement mechanism is connected with both the ultrasonic detector 300 and the X-ray detector 210, so as to control the ultrasonic detector 300 and the X-ray detector 210 to move independently or simultaneously. The motion mechanism can be a mechanical arm, a three-axis motion device and the like so as to realize the direct adjustment of the relative positions of the two.

It is understood that the motion patterns of the ultrasound detector 300 and the X-ray detector 210 can be implemented by the prior art, and the application is not limited to the specific motion structure, as long as the two can achieve a specific motion range.

The ultrasound probe 300 can be moved out of the detection plane of the X-ray detector 210, i.e. the projection of the ultrasound probe 300 onto the plane of the detection plane does not coincide with the detection plane. The ultrasound detector 300 does not block the X-ray detector 210 from receiving X-rays.

The detection device 10 provided by the embodiment of the present application includes a casing 100 and an X-ray detector 210 housed in the casing 100. The detection surface of the X-ray detector 210 is disposed opposite to the housing 100. The detection surface of the X-ray detector 210 can receive X-rays incident from the housing 100. The probe 10 also includes an ultrasound probe 300 housed within the housing 100. The ultrasound detector 300 and the X-ray detector 210 are capable of relative movement. The ultrasound detector 300 is movable out of the detection plane of the X-ray detector 210.

When the tissue 540 to be detected needs to be subjected to X-ray detection, the ultrasound probe 300 may be moved out of the detection plane of the X-ray detector 210, so that the ultrasound probe 300 is away from the tissue 540 to be detected and the X-ray detector 210. I.e. the ultrasound detector 300 does not block the X-ray detector 210 from receiving X-rays. The operation of the X-ray detector 210 is not affected by the ultrasound detector 300. When the tissue 540 to be detected needs to be ultrasonically detected, the ultrasonic detector 300 can be moved to a proper position to detect the tissue 540 to be detected. Since the X-ray detector 210 does not need to work at this time, the ultrasound detector 300 can block the detection surface of the X-ray detector 210 and can emit ultrasound waves to detect the tissue 540 to be detected. The detection device 10 can select the X-ray detector 210 or the ultrasonic detector 300 to work as required, so as to fully utilize the advantages of the X-ray detector 210 and the ultrasonic detector 300, and have the advantage of flexible and convenient use.

In one embodiment, the detection surface of the X-ray detector 210 is disposed opposite the interior side 120 of the housing 100. Wherein the inner side surface 120 is a surface of an inner wall of the housing 100 opposite to the detection surface. The ultrasonic detector 300 is movably arranged on the housing 100. The ultrasound probe 300 is also capable of moving and conforming to the inner side 120 of the housing 100. The interior side 120 of the enclosure 100 may be the top panel of the enclosure 100. That is, X-rays can enter the detection surface of the X-ray detector 210 through the inner side 120 of the housing 100. The ultrasound probe 300 moves within the enclosure 100 as desired. The ultrasound probe 300 may be attached to the inner wall of the housing 100, i.e., the inner side 120. When the tissue 540 to be detected is placed on the outer wall of the housing 100 opposite to the inner side surface 120, the ultrasonic probe 300 can detect the tissue 540 to be detected through the inner side surface 120 of the housing 100.

The cover 100 may be used to carry tissue to be detected over an outer wall opposite the inner side 120. The tissue 540 to be detected can be directly or indirectly placed on the surface of the inner side 120 of the cover 100.

In one embodiment, the tissue to be detected may be breast tissue. The inner surface 120 of the housing 100 may be a surface of the housing 100 or may be a plate structure provided to the housing 100. The X-ray detector 210 is spaced apart from the panel surface on which the inner surface 120 of the housing 100 is located. The X-ray detector 210 may be configured to receive X-rays. X-rays may be emitted by X-ray emission source 220. An X-ray emission source 220 may be disposed on an inner side 120 of the housing 100 distal from the X-ray detector 210. That is, X-rays emitted by X-ray emission source 220 may be transmitted to X-ray detector 210 through interior side 120 of housing 100. After the tissue 540 to be detected is placed on the plate surface where the inner side surface 120 of the housing 100 is located, the X-ray emitted by the X-ray emission source 220 may sequentially pass through the tissue 540 to be detected and the inner side surface 120 of the housing 100 and then enter the X-ray detector 210.

In one embodiment, the ultrasound probe 300 is movably disposed in the horizontal direction inside the housing 100. The X-ray detector 210 is movably disposed in the accommodating space 110 along a vertical direction.

It is understood that the inner side 120 of the housing 100 and the X-ray detector 210 may be spaced apart. I.e. a space is left between the inner side 120 of the housing 100 and the X-ray detector 210. The inner side 120 of the housing 100 and the X-ray detector 210 may be arranged in a fixed manner relative to one another. The vertical distance between the inner side 120 of the housing 100 and the X-ray detector 210 can also be adjusted as desired. The ultrasound probe 300 is movable in a horizontal plane between the inner side 120 of the housing 100 and the X-ray detector 210. When the tissue 540 to be detected needs to be subjected to X-ray detection, the ultrasonic detector 300 can be moved in a horizontal plane between the inner side surface 120 of the housing 100 and the X-ray detector 210, so that the ultrasonic detector 300 is away from the tissue 540 to be detected and the X-ray detector 210. I.e. the ultrasound detector 300 does not block the X-ray detector 210 from receiving X-rays. The operation of the X-ray detector 210 is not affected by the ultrasound detector 300. When the tissue 540 to be examined needs to be examined ultrasonically, the ultrasound probe 300 can be moved between the X-ray detector 210 and the inner side 120 of the housing 100. Since the X-ray detector 210 does not need to work at this time, the ultrasound detector 300 can be moved above the X-ray detector 210 and can emit ultrasound waves to detect the tissue 540 to be detected.

In one embodiment, the detection face of the ultrasound probe 300 may be parallel to the interior side 120 of the enclosure 100. The path of the planar movement of the ultrasonic detector 300 between the X-ray detector 210 and the inner side surface 120 of the housing 100 is not limited as long as the ultrasonic detector 300 and the X-ray detector 210 do not interfere with each other when operating respectively. The plane between the X-ray detector 210 and the inner side 120 of the housing 100 may be provided with a slide 411. The ultrasound probe 300 can slide on the slide 411. The X-ray detector 210 is movably disposed in the accommodating space 110 along a vertical direction. That is, when the inner side 120 of the housing 100 is horizontally disposed, the X-ray detector 210 may be close to or distant from the inner side 120 of the housing 100 in a vertical direction.

When the tissue 540 to be detected is subjected to X-ray detection, the X-ray detector 210 may be moved in a vertical direction, so that the X-ray detector 210 is close to the inner side 120 of the housing 100. The proximity of the X-ray detector 210 to the interior side 120 of the housing 100 may improve the accuracy of X-ray reception. When the X-ray detector 210 is not required to operate, the X-ray detector 210 may be positioned away from the inner side 120 of the enclosure 100. A large space can be left between the inner side 120 of the housing 100 and the X-ray detector 210. The ultrasound probe 300 can now be moved in a horizontal direction between the X-ray detector 210 and the inner side 120 of the housing 100. The tissue 540 to be examined, which is placed on the inner side 120 of the housing 100, can now be examined by means of the ultrasound probe 300. It is understood that a slide rail arranged in a vertical direction may be provided in the accommodating space 110. The X-ray detector 210 can be slidably disposed on the slide rail. A plurality of clamping structures can be arranged on the slide rail at intervals. The position of the X-ray detector 210 on the slide rail can be limited by the positioning structure, i.e., the distance of the X-ray detector 210 relative to the inner side 120 of the housing 100 can be limited.

In one embodiment, the detecting device 10 further comprises a first slide rail 410 arranged along the horizontal direction. The first slide rail 410 is disposed in the accommodating space 110. The first slide rail 410 is disposed between the inner side surface 120 of the housing 100 and the X-ray detector 210. The ultrasound probe 300 is slidably disposed on the first slide rail 410. The first slide rail 410 may include two spaced slide ways 411. The two slide rails 411 may be respectively disposed on a plane parallel to the inner side surface 120 of the housing 100. The ultrasound probe 300 can span the surface of the two slideways 411 and can slide on the surface of the slideways 411. It is understood that the ultrasound probe 300 may be coupled to a motor. The ultrasonic detector 300 can be driven to move on the surfaces of the two slideways 411 by a motor.

In one embodiment, the X-ray detector may be fixedly disposed with respect to the accommodating space 110, and the ultrasound detector 300 may horizontally slide on the first slide rail 410.

In one embodiment, the probing apparatus 10 further comprises a second sliding rail 412. The second slide rail 412 is disposed in the accommodating space 110 along a vertical direction. The X-ray detector 210 is slidably disposed on the second slide rail 412. The second slide rail 412 may be a slide rail, or two slide rails arranged in parallel at an interval. The X-ray detector 210 can slide up and down along the slide way to adjust the distance between the X-ray detector 210 and the inner side 120 of the housing 100 in the vertical direction.

In one embodiment, the ultrasound probe 300 is attached to the inner side 120 of the housing 100 on the side of the receiving space 110. That is, the ultrasonic probe 300 is attached to the inner wall of the inner side 120 of the housing 100. That is, the probe of the ultrasound probe 300 can be attached to the surface of the inner side 120 of the housing 100 located in the accommodating space 110. The ultrasound probe 300 can slide on the surface of the inner side 120 of the housing 100 located in the accommodating space 110. Therefore, the ultrasonic detector 300 is closer to the tissue 540 to be detected, and the detection effect is better. The ultrasonic probe 300 is attached to the inner side 120 of the casing 100 on the side of the accommodating space 110, and the inner side 120 of the casing 100 relatively defines the horizontal plane of the movement of the ultrasonic probe 300, thereby facilitating the control of the movement of the ultrasonic probe 300. Meanwhile, the ultrasonic probe 300 is attached to one side of the accommodating space 110 of the inner side surface 120 of the housing 100, so that the compactness of the detecting device 10 can be further improved, and the space occupied by the detecting device 10 can be reduced.

In one embodiment, the ultrasound probe 300 is provided with a groove 310 proximate the inner side 120 of the housing 100. The recess 310 is for receiving an ultrasonic couplant. The shape of the groove 310 is not limited as long as the ultrasonic couplant can be filled. The cross section of the groove 310 may be rectangular, circular, oval, polygonal, or the like. The groove 310 may be subjected to a sealing process. For example, a sealing ring may be disposed at the opening of the groove 310, and then the opening of the groove 310 may be attached to the surface of the inner side 120 of the casing 100, so as to seal the groove 310. In one embodiment, the recess 310 may also be sealed from air by applying a vacuum to the recess 310. It will be appreciated that the air between the probe of the ultrasound probe 300 and the patient's skin will block the transmission of ultrasound waves into the body during the ultrasound examination. To obtain high quality, sharp images, the coupling agent is used to connect the probe to the patient's body surface. By sealing the groove 310, air can be prevented from blocking ultrasonic waves from being transmitted into a human body, and the detection effect can be improved.

In one embodiment, the ultrasonic couplant is a solid couplant. The shape of the solid couplant may be the same as the shape of the groove 310, and thus, the solid couplant may be easily taken out of the groove 310. The solid couplant is not easy to be mixed into air, so that the detection effect can be improved. The solid couplant is also convenient to transport. In one embodiment, the ultrasonic coupling agent can be prepared by using konjac powder as a main raw material.

In one embodiment, the ultrasonic couplant can also be a liquid couplant. When a liquid couplant is used, a liquid sealing structure can be arranged in the groove. A liquid couplant can be injected into the groove by a hydraulic system.

In one embodiment, the probe 10 further includes a scraping device 320. The scraping device 320 is slidably disposed on the inner side 120 of the casing 100. The scraping device 320 is used for scraping the ultrasonic couplant left on the inner side surface of the casing 100. When the tissue 540 to be detected is detected by the ultrasound probe 300, it is usually necessary to use an ultrasound couplant. After the tissue 540 to be detected leaves the inner side 120 of the housing 100, the ultrasonic couplant left on the inner side 120 can be scraped off by the scraping device 320.

In one embodiment, the scraping device 320 may be disposed along the width direction of the inner side 120 of the casing 100, and the surface of the scraping device 320 contacting the inner side 120 of the casing 100 may be a silicone material.

In one embodiment, the probe device 10 further includes a storage device 330. The storage device 330 is disposed at one side of the housing 100. The storage device 330 is used for storing the ultrasonic couplant scraped by the scraping device 320. The storage device 330 is disposed at the edge of the housing 100. The storage device 330 may have a cubic structure having an opening, or a pouch structure having an opening fixed to an edge of the housing 100. After the ultrasonic couplant left on the surface of the inner side surface 120 of the housing 100 is scraped to the edge of the inner side surface 120 of the housing 100 by the scraping means 320, the ultrasonic couplant can fall into the storage means 330. The ultrasonic couplant can be recovered through the storage device 330, and waste is avoided.

In one embodiment, the detection device is used in a breast machine.

Referring to fig. 2 and 3, an embodiment of the application further provides a multi-modality medical imaging system 20. The multi-modality medical imaging system 20 includes a base 510 and the probe 10. The detecting device 10 is disposed on the base 510. The base 510 may also be provided with a support bracket 520. The support frame 520 may have a seating space 530 for receiving the housing 100 therein. The top of the support 520 may be provided with the X-ray emission source 220. The space between the X-ray emitting source 220 and the panel of the interior side 120 of the housing 100 may be used to position the tissue 540 to be detected. The X-ray emitted from the X-ray emitting source 220 can be received by the X-ray detector 210 after passing through the tissue 540 to be detected.

In one embodiment, the multi-modality medical imaging system 20 is a breast machine.
