    摘要: A magnetic resonance coil has an antenna portion for accommodating a body part to be examined, the antenna portion is formed by a number of constituent units connected in series, the positions between various constituent units are relatively movable. By moving the positions between the constituent units, a portion of the area between at least two constituent units overlaps. By increasing or reducing the number of the constituent units, or by adjusting the overlapped area between the constituent units, one pair or a number of pairs of the constituent units are made to overlap completely, so as to achieve the adjustment of the size of the antenna portion to accommodate a body part to be examined, and to make said antenna portion as close as possible to the body part to be examined, so as to obtain a signal with a relatively high signal-to-noise ratio, and to obtain a relatively high imaging quality.

    摘要: In a high field magnetic resonance imaging apparatus and a method for obtaining signals having a high signal-to-noise ratio with the receiving coil thereof, the apparatus has at least a basic magnet and a receiving coil, the basic magnet generating a basic magnetic field, and the receiving coil being disposed within the basic magnetic field and forming an accommodating cavity. The accommodating cavity of the receiving coil is perpendicular to the direction of the basic magnetic field and is positioned in the field of view of the apparatus. The receiving coil is a loop type coil. The apparatus can further have a bracket for fixing the receiving coil. In the method, a receiving coil is used to receive signals in a magnetic field, wherein the receiving coil is perpendicular to the direction of the magnetic field. By using the apparatus and the corresponding method since the receiving coil can have a loop type design, the signal-to-noise ratio is increased. Moreover, the receiving coil can be disposed at a position closer to the center of the field of view, so that the imaging quality is improved.

    摘要: A HIFU compatible receiving coil for MRI radio-frequency signals has an antenna and an amplifier connected to each other, each for receiving and amplifying MRI radio-frequency signals, and a filter positioned in front of the amplifier for filtering the HIFU low frequency signals received by the antenna at the same time as receiving the MRI radio-frequency signals. In a method for receiving the MRI radio-frequency signals and then for amplifying the same, the received MRI radio-frequency signals are filtered before being amplified, so as to filter out the HIFU signals received at the same time as the MRI radio-frequency signals. By this filtering, the HIFU signals among the HIFU signals and MRI radio-frequency signals simultaneously received by the antenna are filtered out at the same time as the HIFU treatment, and the remaining MRI radio-frequency signals are connected into the MRI system after being amplified by the amplifier for real-time imaging. Since the amplifier only processes the MRI radio-frequency signals, it can stay in a normal linear working status to ensure the normal proceeding of the subsequent real-time imaging.

    摘要: The present invention proposes a fast GeneRalized Autocalibrating Partially Parallel Acquisition (GRAPPA) image reconstruction algorithm for magnetic resonance imaging. The algorithm simplifies data fitting and channel merging in the process of reconstruction into a one-step linear calculation. Parameters needed to perform the linear calculation step can be pre-calculated and stored, thereby greatly increasing the image reconstruction speed and solving the problem of the relatively long image reconstruction time needed by prior art GRAPPA algorithms. Also, the algorithm can employ a weighting matrix to conveniently compare signal-to-noise ratio losses of images brought by different types of reconstruction methods in image domain and frequency domain.

In one embodiment, the matrix material contains a mixture of lanthanide halides, i.e., a solid solution of at least two of the halides, such as lanthanum chloride and lanthanum bromide. In another embodiment, the matrix material is based on lanthanum iodide alone, which must be substantially free of lanthanum oxyiodide. The scintillator materials, which can be in monocrystalline or polycrystalline form, also include an activator for the matrix material, e.g., cerium. Radiation detectors that use the scintillators are also described, as are related methods for detecting high-energy radiation.
