摘要:
A magnet device provided with a shield current carrying means in which two sets of magneto static field generating sources for generating magnetic fields directed toward a first direction are disposed facing each other across a finite region and at least one set of the magnetostatic field generating sources are disposed on at least two almost concentric circles, wherein, on a first plane including a first axis, a second axis and a first point, the first point being a point of intersection between the first axis parallel to the first direction and passing the almost center of the shied current carrying means and the second axis crossing at right angles the first axis and spaced an almost equal distance from the two sets of the generating sources, positive and negative current carrying directions of one set out of two sets of magnetostatic field generating sources or those in respective sets are arranged alternately, when an angle formed by a half line at the n-th point position from the first point to extend toward the geometric center of a section of the shield current carrying means and the first axis is theta n, and the current carrying directions of the shield current carrying means are set in the order of increasing theta n.
摘要:
A magnet apparatus having two static magnetic field-generating sources constituted by current-carrying means (13 to 16) arranged concentrically to generate a uniform magnetic field directed in the first direction, each static magnetic field generating source having at least four current-carrying means. Assume that a predetermined line (18) lies in a first plane including a first axis extending in parallel with the first direction and passing through near the centers of the current-carrying means, a second axis intersecting the first axis perpendicularly and existing nearly at an equal distance from the second static magnetic field-generating source. When the geometrical center of the cross section of each current-carrying means is projected onto the predetermined straight line (18) on the first plane, the forward and reverse current-carrying directions of the corresponding current-carrying means are alternatingly arranged for each of the static magnetic field-generating sources.

In an MRI device comprising a guide wire inserted into the body cavity of a subject and used as means for receiving an MR signal from the subject and a catheter guided by the guide wire, having a specific mark distinguishable from other parts of the MR image and attached at the end thereof, a method and device is used for creating three-dimensional image data along the guide wire from the MR signal, detecting the specific mark on the basis of the three-dimensional image data, determining the position of the end of the catheter and the direction of insertion, and displaying an endoscopic image formed from the three-dimensional image data in such a way that the position is made the viewpoint and the direction of insertion is made the direction of line of sight in real time to support the insertion of the catheter.
摘要:
A superconducting magnetic device which corrects a stationary magnetic field in a measuring space by adjusting the flow of magnetic flux, in such a manner as to form one or a plurality of holes through a tabular ferromagnetic body constituting a magnetic shield for converging magnetic fluxes generated from superconductive coils. In the device, a connecting tube which supports two cooling containers for housing the superconducting coils is arranged on the rear side of the vertical center axis (Z axis) of the measuring space so that the coils can easily reach a patient. Further, the magnetic shield has an opening which is wider than a size of the superconductive magnet on its side face so that the superconductive magnet can be installed into the device through the opening after the magnetic shield is assembled.
