The apparatus (1) is constituted by: device (3) for creating a homogeneous main magnetic static field (HO) orientated along a determined direction (Oz) in which static field there is placed the body (2) to be examined; devices for creating magnetic field gradients in a space of the body to be examined along three directions of the space; radio frequency excitation device (E) and a device (R) for the detection of the nuclear magnetic resonance signals produced by the body to be examined. The one, (Dx) of the devices for creating the gradients is constituted by a unilateral system wherein the device (6) for creating the magnetic field gradient along one direction (Ox) of the space are entirely situated on one and the same side of an "open" surface (P) while the body to be examined (2) is situated on the side of the surface (P) which is opposite to that where the device (6) is located, which are capable of creating a transverse gradient in relation to the direction (Oz) of the main static field, on the side of the surface where the body ( 2) to be examined is situated. Such a device (Dx) is particularly suitable for NMR imaging of the human skin.
摘要:
In a system for obtaining images on the principle of nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) of nuclei contained in the human body, two symmetrical coils constituting an electromagnet are spaced apart so that a patient's body can be placed transversely with respect to the axis of revolution of the electromagnet. A set of NMR coils for producing a high-frequency magnetic field at right angles to the field of the electromagnet comprises at least one solenoid coil placed around the part of the body to be examined. This novel configuration achieves enhanced sensitivity and reduces exposure times by a factor greater than 2 with respect to conventional saddle-type NMR coil systems.

The invention relates to a method for characterizing a sample (2) by means of a nuclear magnetic resonance spectrometer in which an effective field (Beff) is generated, wherein said field has an effective vector (I) and results from a static magnetic field (B0) and a radiofrequency magnetic field (B1), characterized in that the effective vector (I) rotates relative to a terrestrial reference frame. The invention also relates to an apparatus (1) for implementing the method.
摘要:
A device for examining by nuclear magnetic resonance a volume having small depth, including means for creating a static homogeneous magnetic field B.sub.0 in which a volume to be examine is positioned, a system for creating magnetic field gradients in three directions of space, and a radio frequency transmission/reception system. The means for creating the static magnetic field B.sub.0, the field gradient system, and the radio frequency transmission/reception system are situated on a same side of an open surface, while the volume to be examined is situated on the other side of the surface. The device can be applied to magnetic resonance imaging.
摘要:
The magnet essentially comprises at least three pairs of coaxial coils in order to increase the number of available parameters, to reduce the non-uniformity B.sub.d, to provide an examination volume with a double access consisting of a longitudinal access along the axis of revolution Oz and of a transverse access parallel to the plane of symmetry, to minimize the overall size as well as the dissipated electric power. The nine principal characteristic parameters of the coils are chosen so as to optimize the uniformity of the magnetic field within the examination volume.
