Abstract:
A magnetic field adjusting device includes a pair of opposing pole plates mounted on respective magnetic field generating sources, forming a magnetic field space; a plurality of shimming plugs movably mounted at the periphery of the pole plates, with each shimming plug being mounted in a radially oriented retaining groove, so as to be moveable in the direction of the retaining groove. Additionally, or alternatively, the circumferences of the magnetic field generating sources are arranged with adjusting bars which can move perpendicular to the pole plates.
Abstract:
An air pressure fixed coil for magnetic resonance imaging has a surface on which an air pressure fixing device is arranged. The air pressure fixing device is in communication with a control switch, that is operable to actuate the air pressure fixing device to generate a negative pressure or to restore a normal air pressure, so that the air pressure fixing device is suctioned and fixed onto an object, or is released from the object. Since the coil is fixed in place by using air pressure, the coil can be fixed onto a patient bed without arranging any fixing structure on the patient bed, and therefore the coil can be positioned and fixed at any place on the patient bed for carrying out a scanning operation according to needs. At the same time, since there is no need to pre-arrange any fixing structure on the patient bed, such as slots, holes etc., the structural strength of the patient bed will not be affected, and the appearance of the patient bed can be kept simple, clean and neat.
Abstract:
A patient table includes a table body configured for bearing a patient, a connecting rod structure configured for supporting the table body, and a spring structure. The connecting rod structure is operable such that the table body may perform a lifting motion between a high position and a low position. Both ends of the spring structure are fixed. At least a first end of the spring structure is hinged to the connecting rod structure. The spring structure may be used for driving the lifting motion of the connecting rod structure and/or bearing the table body. The patient table may be used for nuclear magnetic resonance imaging equipment.
Abstract:
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.
Abstract:
A mobile positioning device for an MRI inductively coupled coil, has at least one pair of coupled coils which are coupled with each other for transmitting signals, wherein one of the at least one pair of coupled coils is deployed on a surface of a patient's bed. A moveable platform is provided that can move in a direction parallel to the patient's bed, and the other one of the at least one pair of coupled coils is deployed on the moveable platform opposite to the coupled coil deployed on the patient's bed. The device can be driven by a motor or a spring. When the patient's bed needs to be placed at different positions for an examination, the coupled coil deployed on the moveable platform can be aligned completely and in parallel to the coupled coil fixed on the patient's bed by moving the moveable platform, so as to achieve the best coupling effects.
