摘要
功能近红外光谱成像已成为脑功能研究的首选手段。为得到高灵敏度、大动态范围以及高时间分辨率的成像系统,开发了基于改进锁相光子计数的多通道近红外脑功能成像系统。光源模块由波长为785,808,830nm的激光二极管(各16个)组成,调制方波的频率间隔为252Hz;探测模块包括9个光子计数式光电倍增管。该系统结合了单光子计数技术的超高灵敏度与方波调制模式数字锁相检测的简易并行性,测量线性相关系数可达0.9989,信道间的串扰可忽略不计,具有较强的抗干扰能力和准确的空间定位能力。
Functional near-infrared spectroscopy imaging has become the preferred choice as a neuroimaging technique of brain function research.To obtain the imaging system with high sensitivity,large dynamic range and high temporal resolution,we develop a multi-channel near-infrared brain functional imaging system based on improved lock-in photon-counting.The light source module consists of 16 laser diodes with wavelength of 785,808 and 830 nm,respectively,which are modulated by square wave with frequency space of 252 Hz.The detection module includes nine photon counting photomultiplier tubes.This system combines the ultra-high sensitivity of the photon-counting technology with the simple parallelism of the digital lock-in detection based on square wave modulation mode,and system performance meets requirements.The linear correlation coefficient can reach 0.9989,cross talk between channels is negligible.The system has strong anti-interference ability and the ability to locate accurately.
