1 Introduction
In China, there are many patients with traumatic craniocerebral injury in urgent need of rescue, but a considerable number of patients with intracranial hemorrhage have delayed diagnosis and treatment because of the failure to diagnose in time. Therefore, cerebral hematoma or cerebral hernia oppresses brain tissue. The brain stem and brain substance are irreversibly damaged. Near-infrared intracranial hemorrhage detection equipment can make accurate judgment on intracranial hemorrhage in a short time. Provide instructions for whether to perform CT / MRI examination. Can significantly improve the patient's chance of survival and recovery of nervous system function. It is mainly used clinically for epidural hemorrhage (EDH), subdural hemorrhage (SDH), superficial cerebral hemorrhage, etc. Its advantages are fast, accurate, and non-invasive, and can be used in emergency centers, hospital clinical departments, and monitoring Ward ICU and field battlefield, etc. But no relevant reports about such equipment have been seen in China. The relatively mature equipment abroad is mainly the CRAINscan instrument produced by the German company Oicrain, which is expensive. We based on the absorption characteristics of hemoglobin to near infrared light and Lambert-Beer law. Design a portable device. Realize non-invasive and direct measurement of human brain tissue, provide a basis for timely monitoring of disease course changes and the formulation of rescue treatment plans.
2 Basic principles
When ignoring scattering. The total absorption of human light by the medium is a linear superposition of the absorption of each chromophore in the medium. According to Beer-Lambert's law, the light intensity It passes through the medium and the incident light intensity I0 satisfies the following relationship:
OD = -lnIt / I0 = μcl
Where μ is the absorption coefficient, C is the medium concentration, and l is the optical path. 0D is optical density, when the wavelength of incident light is constant. OD is a linear function of medium concentration. Normally, the absorption of light on both sides of the human brain is symmetrical. If a blood vessel ruptures and causes internal bleeding, the local blood concentration increases. The absorption of light will increase. By measuring the optical density on both sides of the human brain, you can determine whether there is cerebral hemorrhage in patients with craniocerebral trauma, and provide an indication for the need for further CT or MRI examination.
3 Hardware design
The equipment uses the MSP430 microcontroller as the control core. Its output pulse signal drives LEDs of specific wavelength to produce near infrared light. The near-infrared light source passes through the cranial brain tissue, and the photoelectric sensor in the detection probe collects the optical signal containing the blood oxygen information of the brain tissue. After the photoelectric conversion, the electrical signal is transmitted to the single-chip microcomputer. The processed signal can be stored in the EEPROM or passed LCD display. You can also send the signal to the computer through the USB port for further processing or storage. The system block diagram is shown in Figure 1:

3.2.3 Light source driving circuit
The light source driving circuit is shown in Fig. 3, the single chip P5.4 foot outputs Vctrl voltage. P5.6 controls the EN enable terminal. When the input voltage is greater than 2.5V, the device works and the output current drives the LED to light up; when the input voltage is less than 2.2V, the LED1, LED2, and LED3 terminals show high impedance. Can't light up.
SET is the input terminal of bias current. Its relationship with the output current of the three LEDs is Iled = 230xIset, and Iled = (Vctrl-Vset) / R, Vset = 1.215V, that is: Iled = 230 (Vctrl-1.215) / R It can be seen that the LED output current is only related to the P5.4 output voltage and resistance R, and turns to emit light under the control of the single chip microcomputer.
3.2.4 LCD display module
LSDl2864CT is a graphic dot matrix liquid crystal display, which is mainly composed of row driver, column driver and full dot matrix liquid crystal display, which can complete graphics and text display.

5 Clinical application
When the instrument is used in the clinic of the hospital, the patient is examined by near infrared spectroscopy. The exploration sites are bilateral frontal, temporal, and occipital. First read and record the blood oxygen value on one side, then sample at the symmetrical site, repeat 2 times, and take the average. The difference between the two was calculated, and the difference ≥ 0.45 was used as a criterion to determine whether there was bleeding, and then a brain CT examination was performed. Results Among the 47 cases, 29 showed CT hemorrhage. 19 of them had subdural hemorrhage. There were 7 patients with epidural hemorrhage and 3 patients with superficial cerebral hemorrhage. Near-infrared light detectors diagnosed 28 patients with cerebral hemorrhage, 24 cases were confirmed by CT, 4 cases were false positives, 2 of them had subcutaneous hematoma; 19 cases were negative by near infrared examination, and 17 cases were confirmed by CT. Of the two false-negative patients, one was subarachnoid hemorrhage and the other was parenchymal hemorrhage.
6 Summary
Because the penetration of near-infrared light is not strong, the attenuation of the human brain tissue is quite strong, and the spatial resolution of the device is not very high. It cannot replace conventional CT examination to quantify and localize intracranial lesions. The advantage is that Make a preliminary diagnosis of the injury quickly without any harm to the human body. The overall design is compact. The operation is simple, the price is cheap, and it has certain practical value. It is expected to achieve good economic benefits after being put into production.
