弹性成像在表征诸如生物组织的软介质中起着关键作用。虽然这项技术在临床诊断和基础科学研究中得到了广泛的应用,但几乎所有的方法都需要与感兴趣的对象直接物理接触,甚至可能是侵入性的。对于许多应用,例如对眼睛前段的诊断测量,不期望并且甚至可以禁止物理接触。在这里,我们提出了一个全新的方法,动态弹性成像使用非接触式机械刺激的软介质精确的空间和时间的塑造。我们称之为声学微敲击(AμT),因为它采用聚焦的空气耦合超声,利用基于反射的辐射力在软材料的边界处引起显著的机械位移。将其与高速四维(三个空间维度加上时间)相敏光学相干断层扫描相结合,可以创建一种非接触式工具,用于以近实时成像速率对软组织进行高分辨率和定量动态弹性成像。在离体猪角膜中证明了整体方法。
Elastography plays a key role in characterizing soft media such as biological tissue. Although this technology has found widespread use in both clinical diagnostics and basic science research, nearly all methods require direct physical contact with the object of interest and can even be invasive. For a number of applications, such as diagnostic measurements on the anterior segment of the eye, physical contact is not desired and may even be prohibited. Here we present a fundamentally new approach to dynamic elastography using non-contact mechanical stimulation of soft media with precise spatial and temporal shaping. We call it acoustic micro-tapping (AμT) because it employs focused, air-coupled ultrasound to induce significant mechanical displacement at the boundary of a soft material using reflection-based radiation force. Combining it with high-speed, four-dimensional (three space dimensions plus time) phase-sensitive optical coherence tomography creates a non-contact tool for high-resolution and quantitative dynamic elastography of soft tissue at near real-time imaging rates. The overall approach is demonstrated in ex-vivo porcine cornea.
