An imaging method may include: emitting a first laser to a target body and receiving a first photoacoustic signal returned from the target body; determining a first photoacoustic image of the target body according to the first photoacoustic signal; emitting a second laser to the target body and receiving a second photoacoustic signal returned from the target body, wherein a wavelength of the second laser is different from that of the first laser; determining a second photoacoustic image of the target body according to the second photoacoustic signal; and determining a blood oxygen image of the target body according to the first photoacoustic image and the second photoacoustic image, wherein the blood oxygen image comprises parameters relate to blood vessels of a target tissue and parameters relate to blood vessels within a preset range at a periphery of the target tissue in the target body.

Imaging method and imaging system

Disclosed are photoacoustic imaging systems, and laser energy correction methods and prompting methods therefor, and photoacoustic imaging systems. The method includes: controlling a laser to transmit a first optical pulse to a target tissue; receiving a first acoustic wave generated by the target tissue absorbing the first optical pulse to acquire a first photoacoustic signal, and receiving a third acoustic wave generated by a marker absorbing the first optical pulse to acquire a third photoacoustic signal; controlling the laser to transmit a second optical pulse to the target tissue; receiving a second acoustic wave generated by the target tissue, and receiving a fourth acoustic wave generated by the marker; correcting a signal intensity of the first photoacoustic signal based on a signal intensity of the third photoacoustic signal together with a first absorption coefficient of the marker with respect to the first optical pulse, and correcting a signal intensity of the second photoacoustic signal based on the fourth photoacoustic signal together with a second absorption coefficient of the marker with respect to the second optical pulse; and acquiring an oxygen saturation of the target tissue based on the corrected signal intensity of the first photoacoustic signal and the corrected signal intensity of the second photoacoustic signal.

Photoacoustic imaging system, and laser energy correction method and prompting method therefor

A method of gain control by amplifying an input signal with a variable gain amplifier to generate an output signal where the gain of the variable gain amplifier is selected based upon a control signal presented at a control input of the variable gain amplifier. When the output signal is larger than the upper boundary, incrementally changing the magnitude of the control signal so as to reduce the gain of the variable gain amplifier in a step-wise linear fashion. When the output signal is smaller than the lower boundary, incrementally changing the magnitude of the control signal so as to increase the gain of the variable gain amplifier in a step-wise linear fashion.
