    摘要: In an NMR imaging system, two-pulse excitation sequences are used to acquire lines of NMR signal information. Artifact signal components may also be present during the times of NMR signal acquisition. In order to remove these artifacts from the center of the image, the artifact signals are alternately phase-encoded from line to line by alternating the phase of one of said excitation pulses from line to line. Fourier transformation is performed on the lines of information in at least the direction of alternate phasing of the artifact components, which relocates the artifacts to the edge of the resulting image.

    摘要: In an NMR imaging system, an image plane is scanned and NMR signals are collected over a plurality of image lines. The experiment is repeated, with the timing of the excitation pulses changed. Images are formed by performing Fourier transformations of the signal values. A ratio image is then formed by performing a complex division of the two images on a pixel by pixel basis. The ratio values cancel phase error effects in the image data and the use of complex numbers maintains the proper pixel polarity.

    摘要: Apparatus for use in selecting a point or plane in an object translatable along a path, and for indicating the distance of the selected point or plane from a predetermined position in the path. A reference point in the path is established by a line of light projected onto the translatable object. When the line of light identifies a point or plane of interest in the object, a reset signal is transmitted to a computer. The reset signal causes a number, a reset quantity representing the known distance between the reference point or line of light and the predetermined position, to be recorded in computer memory. As the object then is translated along the path, an encoder supplies signals to a counter that is incremented or decremented in response to movement of the object toward or away from the predetermined position. The reset quantity initially has the count both added to it and subtracted from it and the result, the reset quantity, is displayed by the computer. As the count in the counter changes during movement of the object toward or away from the predetermined position, the displayed result changes accordingly. The apparatus may be used in properly positioning a patient in a medical imaging system.

    摘要: Apparatus for imposing a gradient magnetic field intensity on a static magnetic field intensity in a nuclear- magnetic-resonance (NMR) system. The gradient field has a predetermined error relationship with respect to a desired characteristic of the gradient field within a selected region. The selected region is substantially smaller in volume than the volume «enclosed» by a surface or surfaces on which electrical conductors are distributed to generate the gradient field. The surface current densities in a grid-like pattern of differential areas on the surfaces are chosen such that, within the selected region, the predetermined error relationship results. The gradient field intensity outside of the selected region generally does not have the characteristic desired within the region. The predetermined error relationship can be established in a linearly-varying field intensity in a spherical volume enclosed by a cylindrical surface. Generally hyperbolically-shaped electrical coils on the cylindrical surface can provide surface current densities required for a constant transverse-gradient (a linearly varying magnetic field intensity in a direction transverse to the axis of the cylinder).

    摘要: A shadowgraphic scanner for producing electronic two-dimensional shadowgraphic images of an examined region of a patient. A source of radiation produces a generally planar beam of radiation which is scanned along the examined region. A two-dimensional array of radiation detectors fixed relative to the source of radiation, but movable in unison therewith relative to the patient. The two-dimensional array of radiation detectors includes a plurality of columns of detectors arranged transverse to the direction in which the beam of radiation is scanned. A first collimator is placed between the source and the patient and a second collimator is placed between the patient and the array of detectors. Both collimators are fixed relative to the source and the detectors and are configured and dimensioned to permit passage therethrough of a beam of radiation of a cross section which corresponds in size to the array of detectors to irradiate the entire array, as the patient is being scanned. Each column of detectors sequentially detects radiation passing through the same section so that a detector from each column contributes sequentially to each section of the examined region. An analog memory cyclically sums the output of each of the columns of radiation detectors in a corresponding plurality of columns of memory units. When a column of memory units has summed the output from each of the columns of detectors, the sum is transferred to an image memory, the memory units in the column zeroed, and the cycle repeated until the entire region of interest is scanned. The data stored in the image memory is displayed on a video monitor.
