INTRAOPERATIVE PHOTOACOUSTIC BIOPSY DEVICE USING PDMS-BASED WATERPROOF SCANNER AND METHOD FOR OBTAINING PHOTOACOUSTIC IMAGE USING SAME

摘要

According to an intraoperative photoacoustic biopsy device using a PDMS-based waterproof scanner and a method for obtaining a photoacoustic image using same, a light source module, a scan module and a control module are comprised. The scan module enables detection of a photoacoustic image by means of contact with a tissue sample, which has been obtained by means of a surgical operation during an operation, while omitting section preparation and staining procedures in an existing frozen section examination. Therefore, an intraoperative biopsy procedure can be shortened drastically and the duration of repetitive intraoperative biopsy procedures can be shortened, and thus the total operation time can be shortened and a better post-operative prognosis of a patient can be possible.
