基于超声背散射能量变化估计生物组织中的热沉积功率密度

Estimating the thermal power deposition density in biological tissues based on the change in ultrasound backscattered energy

  • 摘要: 在热治疗中, 准确的温度监测是治疗过程安全性和有效性的重要保障, 而组织内的温升直接受到热沉积功率密度分布的影响。考虑到超声背散射能量变化反映了组织中热区的位置和形态, 提出了一种基于超声背散射能量变化分布估计热沉积功率密度的方法。该方法利用超声背散射能量变化的高斯分布特征对温度场进行重建, 进而根据生物传热模型对沉积功率密度进行精准估计。首先通过模拟离体肌肉组织加热的计算机仿真实验验证了方法的可行性,估计结果相较于预设值的平均误差小于5%。进一步, 在聚焦超声加热猪肌肉组织的离体实验中应用了该方法, 并依据估计结果对温度场进行正向预测,预测温升和热电偶实际测量温升间的误差约为0.3 ℃。

     

    Abstract: It is of paramount importance to ensure accurate temperature monitoring in order to guarantee the safety and efficacy of thermal therapy treatments. The temperature increase in biological tissues is directly influenced by the thermal power deposition density (PDD). Given that the distribution of the change in backscattered energy (CBE) in ultrasound imaging reflects the location and geometry of the heated zone in tissue, this paper presents a method for estimating PDD based on the CBE distribution feature. The method employs the Gaussian distribution feature of CBE to reconstruct the temperature field, and the PDD is accurately estimated based on bio-heat transfer model. Initially, computer experiments simulating the heating process of muscle tissues were conducted to confirm the viability of the presented method, with the estimated results showing an average error of less than 5% compared to preset values. Then, the method was applied in a focused ultrasound heating experiment of ex vivo porcine muscle tissues. The temperature rise was predicted based on the estimated PDD, showing an error of about 0.3 °C compared to the actual temperature rise measured by thermocouples.
